Hello all!
Again I have a proposal to enhance makepkg PURGE_TARGETS handling.
I think that enabling customizing PURGE_TARGETS inside PKGBUILD would be a benefit in the following context:
Without checking, I would have thought that exporting "PURGE_TRAGETS=..." within a package function would just work. I guess the old value would not be restored afterwards though.
This seems like complete overkill for makepkg to support. I'm -1 on this.
What overkill? Really? It's a 3 or 4-line update: ~~~~ instead of this: if [ "$(check_option purge)" = "y" -a -n "${PURGE_TARGETS[*]}" ]; then msg2 "$(gettext "Purging other files...")" ~~~~ we'll have this: + local purge_targets=( "${pkg_purge_targets[@]:-${PURGE_TARGETS[@]}}" ) + eval 'purge_targets=( "${'"${pkgname}"'_purge_targets[@]:-${purge_targets[@]}" )' + if [ "$(check_option purge)" = "y" -a -n "${purge_targets[*]}" ]; then - if [ "$(check_option purge)" = "y" -a -n "${PURGE_TARGETS[*]}" ]; then msg2 "$(gettext "Purging other files...")" ~~~~ and we have to replace `PURGE_TARGETS` with `purge_targets` somewhare below in 2 places.
If upstream builds can't get their act together and provide individual make commands, file a issue upstream. If that doesn't work, then PURGE_TARGETS is really no more than a
Have I mentioned that even pacman doesn't support these make commands?
for file in glob_exp; do rm -f file done
which is really just a one-liner in a PKGBUILD anyway. Why complicate the matter?
Actually it's a 3-liner per `something_package` function, in every PKGBUILD, instead of a true 1-liner in every function in every PKGBUILD.

Guys, as developers of makepkg, you really have something against extensions that would allow writing simpler or more versatile PKGBUILD's... For example, below is one of my PKGBUILDS, that uses what I call a "template", which allows me to abstract away patching, calling configure, and make. And in order to support this split of packages, all I have to do is update my `configure+make+make-install` script to understand this, and just put `pkgname=( isync-bin isync-doc )`. (Unfortunately this doesn't have a lib or dev). My `configure+make+make-install` just implements `build` and `package` functions that use the variables defined in the PKGBUILD, with some sensible defaults. (I think this resembles somehow GoboLinux recipies...) ~~~~ . "${pkgbuild_tools_root}/configure+make+make-install" pkgname=( isync ) _pkgver=1.0.4 _pkgpatch=+1 pkgver="${_pkgver}${_pkgpatch}" pkgrel=1 depends=() makedepends=( openssl db gcc binutils glibc make coreutils bash sed grep patch ) _declare_arch _declare_paths _declare_build_environment _declare_configure_options _configure_options=( "${_configure_options[@]}" --disable-compat ) _LIBS=( "${_LIBS[@]}" -static -ldb -lpthread ) _src_patches=( imap_recursive_maildir.patch imap_certificate_ignore.patch ) source=( "http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/project/isync/isync/${_pkgver}/isync-${_pkgver}.tar.gz" imap_recursive_maildir.patch imap_certificate_ignore.patch ) md5sums=( 8a836a6f4b43cd38a8b8153048417616 fd42b61f2979d2bf2d08f1528a292ec5 efbe84127425024676b07c2fdef87a98 ) ~~~~ But as I said, no problem, I'll just hack my own makepkg that understands something similar with PKGBUILDS, and extended with these recipies. Thanks, Ciprian.
