Something like `source=('$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz')` in the PKGBUILD would "just work" with this eval. This could be a security issue since URLs are arbitrary input. This also violated the principle of least surprise. Instead, expand the dlagent command line into an array, replace the %o, %u place holders, and run the resultant command line as is. Embedded spaces in the DLAGENT entry can be escaped with a backslash. --- scripts/makepkg.sh.in | 21 ++++++++++----------- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/makepkg.sh.in b/scripts/makepkg.sh.in index 8e8a64c..2b05468 100644 --- a/scripts/makepkg.sh.in +++ b/scripts/makepkg.sh.in @@ -342,8 +342,9 @@ download_file() { local proto=$(get_protocol "$netfile") # find the client we should use for this URL - local dlcmd - dlcmd=$(get_downloadclient "$proto") || exit $? + local -a cmdline + IFS=' ' read -a cmdline < <(get_downloadclient "$proto") && + (( ${#cmdline[@]} )) || exit local filename=$(get_filename "$netfile") local url=$(get_url "$netfile") @@ -359,20 +360,18 @@ download_file() { local dlfile="${url##*/}" # replace %o by the temporary dlfile if it exists - if [[ $dlcmd = *%o* ]]; then - dlcmd=${dlcmd//\%o/\"$filename.part\"} - dlfile="$filename.part" + if [[ ${cmdline[*]} = *%o* ]]; then + dlfile=$filename.part + cmdline=("${cmdline[@]//%o/"$dlfile"}") fi # add the URL, either in place of %u or at the end - if [[ $dlcmd = *%u* ]]; then - dlcmd=${dlcmd//\%u/\"$url\"} + if [[ ${cmdline[*]} = *%u* ]]; then + cmdline=("${cmdline[@]//%u/"$url"}") else - dlcmd="$dlcmd \"$url\"" + cmdline+=("$url") fi - local ret=0 - eval "$dlcmd >&2 || ret=\$?" - if (( ret )); then + if ! command -- "${cmdline[@]}" >&2; then [[ ! -s $dlfile ]] && rm -f -- "$dlfile" error "$(gettext "Failure while downloading %s")" "$filename" plain "$(gettext "Aborting...")" -- 2.1.0
