The package() function has been around since pacman-3.3 and has significant advantages including limited fakeroot usage and correct repackaging. The ability to use PKGBUILDs without a package function will be removed in a future release.

I though it better to deprecate this for at least one release. We have been warning about using "makepkg -R" without a package function for some time. I am quite happy to kill this now if people think that would be OK. Allan
