New version removing the arguments rather than adding them back. Unmangled version: https://github.com/vadmium/pacman-arch/commit/7d15a05.patch

From 7d15a057e37defece4c93bf17e4bbdac1db4106d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Panter <vadmium à gmail·com> Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2012 03:05:42 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Remove last traces of handling command arguments in $PACMAN MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This resolves an inconsistency with how the $PACMAN variable was interpreted. Previously “makepkg” would extract the first word from the $PACMAN variable and check that it existed as a command. This appears to have been happening ever since the variable was implemented in revision 66c6d28 (makepkg: allow to specify an alternative pacman command). Thus it looks like command arguments were originally allowed in the variable. However the run_pacman() function now quotes $PACMAN, so the whole variable has to be just the command name. This quoting was introduced more recently, perhaps in revision 622326b (makepkg: fix sudo/su calling of pacman). --- scripts/makepkg.sh.in | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/makepkg.sh.in b/scripts/makepkg.sh.in index d387b7d..0f266df 100644 --- a/scripts/makepkg.sh.in +++ b/scripts/makepkg.sh.in @@ -2728,7 +2728,7 @@ if (( NODEPS || (NOBUILD && !DEP_BIN ) )); then if (( NODEPS )); then warning "$(gettext "Skipping dependency checks.")" fi -elif type -p "${PACMAN%% *}" >/dev/null; then +elif type -p "$PACMAN" >/dev/null; then if (( RMDEPS && !
