Re: [pacman-dev] [PATCH 2/7] libmakepkg: stop printsrcinfo generating empty values

Please don't change this to paper over bad PKGBUILDs.

the thing is foo= is never declared in the pkgbuild A pkgbuild like this: pkgname=foo pkgver=1 pkgrel=1 arch=('any') package() { depends+=("bar") } Generates a srcinfo like this: pkgbase = foo pkgver = 1 pkgrel = 1 arch = any pkgname = foo depends = depends = bar When you perform foo+=(bar) when foo is unset the array will only contain foo. So no I wouldn't put the blame on bad pkgbuilds here. Infact the same thing happens if you do declare depends globally like such: pkgname=foo pkgver=1 pkgrel=1 arch=('any') depends=() package() { depends+=("bar") }
