Hi, if (you don't want to read a semi rant) exit 0; I have noticed a number of useless comments in makepkg and have decided that they are worse than no comments. Examples: 1) This inspired the rant! download_sources # we can only check checksums if we have all files check_checksums Huh, why are we not checking for all files then? Because download_sources exits when it fails... 2) and there are a lot of these: # fix flyspray feature request #2978 # fix flyspray bug #5923 # Fixes FS#10039 # fix flyspray #6246 #fix flyspray feature request #5223 # fix flyspray bug #5973 and I am guilty here... but I was at the airport with no internet access so I had no idea if these are important. And most of these appeared to be non-obscure features/fixes so did not need a comment justifying their inclusion. 3) overly obvious comments # do we have a changelog? if [ -f "$startdir/ChangeLog" ]; then If you do not understand that test, then leave the code alone... I will patch these out eventually but I like to share my frustration. I am just a generous guy! Allan
