Hello! While playing around with a package of mine, I noticed that the command $ SRCDEST=/tmp/emil/foo/src makepkg fails with error message "You do not have write permission to store downloads in /tmp/emil/foo/src." if the directory does not already exist. Likewise, setting PKGDEST to a nonexistent directory causes failure with error message "You do not have write permission to store packages in PKGDEST". I patched /usr/bin/makepkg to create the directories if necessary, and now it works fine. Since it was so easy, and I imagine others have experimented with the above environment variables, I am lead to ask: Is this behaviour by design, or should I submit my patch? Keep up the great work!
