[pacman-dev] [PATCH] Revert "makepkg: use the `declare` builtin when backing up variables to eval"

[Allan McRae]

This reverts commit 9e52a36794552b77ecf26f7f34b226d096978f1e.

The change to use declare for the split package metadata backup/restore
resulted in variables being declared at a local scope. When these variables
were unset (mostly noticed with debug packaging) this left the variable at
global scope defined.  The decided fix for this requires the use of
bash-4.2 features, which is greater than our current minimum version and so
is not suitable for a maint release.  Revert the change in the meantime.
