Maybe dropping all long options is not a great idea: makepkg has a lot of options and find an alphanumeric character for each is not that easy/intuitive; Furthermore getopt is ported virtually everywhere: Mac OS X, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD etc. and stuff like asciidoc depends upon it.
The reason of that patch is that the different getopt implementations are not compatible : http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2008-May/011857.html The arguments parsing currently does not work on osx / bsd.
Actually FreeBSD and NetBSD have in their port tree "getopt", which is this one: http://software.frodo.looijaard.name/getopt/ as you can see, is the same getopt in util-linux; in OpenBSD's tree is called gnugetopt, but it's still the same software. In Mac OS X it can be installed with macports, and it's called "getopt". -- Alessio (molok) Bolognino Please send personal email to themolok@gmail.com Public Key http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xFE0270FB GPG Key ID = 1024D / FE0270FB 2007-04-11 Key Fingerprint = 9AF8 9011 F271 450D 59CF 2D7D 96C9 8F2A FE02 70FB
