No reason.... I was going to adjust my patch to this syntax. However, I have discovered, the patch causes makepkg to halt if there are no files in ${pkgdir}. This is entirely possible with something like "meta-packages" which just contain a list of deps. So I am going to need to use some sort of "grep ... || ret=" syntax anyway.

I tried to reproduce this, but was not able to do so.
Ah this is what I forgot to ask Allan today.
I wanted to tell him I didn't understand why grep would get stuck, and why this other syntax would change anything about it.
I have no idea.... Yesterday when trying the "if grep" syntax, makepkg would just stop directly before outputing "Creating package". I assumed it was something due to "set -e". Strange thing is, I can not replicate it today... even after pulling the stashed changes I had saved so I could go back and figure it out. I might be going mad... I have adjusted the patch to use Cedric's syntax now that it is working for me. Allan
