This eval enables the following in a PKGBUILD to "just work": source=('$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz'::'https://host/$pkgver.tar.gz') This has at least two problems: - It violated the principle of least surprise. - It could be a security issue since URLs are arbitrary input. Instead, expand the dlagent command line into an array, replace the %o, %u place holders, and run the resultant command line as is. Embedded spaces in the DLAGENTS entry can be escaped with a backslash.
