makegpkg 3.1.1 line ~752 has this...
find {,usr/{,local/},opt/}{bin,lib,sbin} -type f
and I can't see how that will ever work, and it doesn't for me, however this does work (for me)...
Could you please explain why this will "never work". It makes complete sense to me.
It looks like it will match opt/bin, but not opt/kde4/bin, for instance. Is this what you originally meant by "never working"? You shouldn't make such blanket statements though.
find {,usr/{,local/},opt/*/}{bin,lib,sbin} -type f
Will this work? (note '*/' addition)
find -regex ".+/bin/.+" -o -regex ".+/lib/.+" -o -regex ".+/sbin/.+" -type f
First question: is -regex portable?
Not sure if it is. I'll let Mark look into this.

P.S. Aaron- I CCed the original author in as he probably isn't on this list, so he never saw your reply.
BCC'd? 'cause I don't see him in the CC list.
