Ignore this and see the following post.

Hi Tropy,

I do not think there is an option in makepkg to use a passphrase when extracting source files from downloaded archives. The commands are hard-coded in makepkg.

Here is a trick that might work. Create a script named "bsdtar" with the following content (replace "foo" with the password):

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/bsdtar --passphrase foo "$@"

Place it in the same directory as makepkg, make it executable, and then run makepkg as follows:

PATH=$PWD:$PATH makepkg

Or just use this script to avoid hard-coding the password:

#!/bin/bash
set -eu

if [[ $# -lt 1 ]]
then
  echo "usage: ${0##*/} <passphrase> [makepkg args]" >&2
  exit 1
fi

passphrase=$1
shift

cat > bsdtar <<BSDTAR
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/bsdtar --passphrase ${passphrase@Q} "\$@"
BSDTAR
trap "rm ${PWD@Q}/bsdtar" EXIT
chmod +rx bsdtar

PATH=$PWD:$PATH makepkg "$@"

Save it on your path as "makepkg-passphrase" and make it executable, then run it with

makepkg-passphrase <passphrase> [makepkg args]

If the PKGBUILD requires this, then it should be an intrinsic part of the PKGBUILD.

You can use the noextract=() array to prevent makepkg from trying to extract it, then manually extract it yourself in a prepare() function.

Yep, that would be the sane solution. Ignore my previous post. I've never used that option so I didn't even think of it.
