I SAID GOOD DAY!



PS

Lighten up, Francis.

Why would I have wasted my time investigating yet another one of
Arch Linux's *obvious* failings?

It's quite telling that you still cannot perceive the fact that the fault lay
in `makepkg', not the PKGBUILD.

As I recall, it used to be understood (and even documented) that the
PKGBUILD is merely a file containing a Bash shell language script;
in that context, there is absolutely nothing at all "odd" about including
comments within an array definition, a useful addition which had
hitherto worked just fine.
