[pacman-dev] [PATCH] makepkg: deprecate PKGBUILDs without a package() function

[Allan McRae]

The package() function has been around since pacman-3.3 and has
significant advantages including limited fakeroot usage and correct
repackaging.  The ability to use PKGBUILDs without a package function
will be removed in a future release.
