yeah, but how do i find out which global variable names i cant use?
(btw. i didn't even think on using this while makepkg runs)

should i rather do this as function and use local variables?
(i assume $tmpdir is too generic an probably used by someone else too)

what is 'localstatedir'? here its not a command nor a variable.

why?
