Cheers, Matthew Farkas-Dyck
A few things: 1) We accept properly formatted patches against our git repository: http://www.archlinux.org/pacman/submitting-patches.html The source of makepkg has changed significantly as since v3.5.3, there's been 505 commits with 10% of those going to makepkg. 2) This would be an undocumented feature that should be called out in the man page. 3) Not sure I agree with this change in execution as randomly pulling in environment variables can and will cause trouble. I'd rather see this implemented as an additional flag to makepkg. dave
