Re: [pacman-dev] makepkg: package_...() can export variables to each other

Hi,

I stumbled upon the fact, that variables set in one package_...() function of a split package are accessible by following package_...() functions. Is this by design or may I try to provide a patch to restore env after the call to package_...()? Note: packaging-relevant variables (e.g. depends_x86_64) are cleaned across function calls.

Simple example:

------8<------8<------8<------ arch=(any) pkgbase=test pkgname=(ta tb) pkgver=0 pkgrel=1

package_ta() { _test='hi, there!' }

package_tb() { echo "$_test" } ------>8------>8------>8------

PKGBUILDs are bash. Bash scope rules apply. Allan
