My summary of this: 1) Maintainer tag: It is a comment - makepkg does not care so nor should you 2) $foo vs ${foo} : they do the same thing (except in rare cases where brackets are needed...) - makepkg does not care so nor should you. 3) "$srcdr" vs $srcdir. The quotes are good for people who build in directories with spaces in their name - so it may be good to use quotes. But I don't care about people who use spaces in directory names, so I am not going to do this. Note the prototype does include quotes... 4) $startdir/src vs $srcdir. $srcdir is correct. As stated in the PKGBUILD man page, there is no guarantee that these will continue to point at the same directory in future pacman versions. Allan
