Hi,
With the commit which enables us to specify the makepkg config file on the command-line (http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=pacman.git;a=commitdiff;h=4b183bf9), the sourcing of the config file gets moved after the parsing of the options. This creates problems with the --help flag as it needs to know what BUILDSCRIPT is defined as. It also causes problems when specifying a different BUILDSCRIPT with -p as this gets set during option parsing then gets overwritten with the makepkg config file gets sourced.
I don't see a nice fix for this. Sourcing the conf file before option parsing and then again after if it is changed seems not good to me. So can we back that patch out at least temporarily.
Note that this does not effect maint so the 3.2.2 release will be bug free as usual.
