Re: [pacman-dev] makepkg patch - simple pkg class feature

I just wanted to throw this out there - this feature in general is straying away from the simplicity of PKGBUILDs. Can anyone give me a compelling reason why Dan's suggested implementation of this feature is any better than just doing the following: build () { source $startdir/src/perl.build; pre_build(); perl_build(); post_build(); } Which, to me, is a ton clearer about what exactly is going on than some seemingly random variable in the sea of PKGBUILD options called 'buildlib=perl.build'. It feels too much like featuritis, and hiding stuff from the users, in any of the implementations suggested.
