Re: [pacman-dev] [PATCH] makepkg: canonicalize paths from environmental variables

No. It also affects the location of the tarfile. e.g. PKGDEST="." puts the tar file in $pkgdir because we create the tarball location using $PKGDEST while in $pkgdir:

cd $pkgdir ... pkg_file="$PKGDEST/${nameofpkg}-${pkgver}-${pkgrel}-${PKGARCH}${PKGEXT}" ...

ok but do we need to be in $pkgdir ? IIRC this is exactly what I had to change in repo-add (the current working dir). The problem is always the same : if we change dir, then relative paths become broken. Looking at the create_package function, it seems we just need to add a few $pkgdir/ here and there.
