makepg funcionality

I was wondering, what if PKGBUILD files had a line like:

opts='-e'

or something simillar. this would be used as a default package makepkg options. if a user would use his own options (makepkg -d or something) this line would be ignored. or if there would be no opts argument in PKGBUILD file, makepkg would act normally.

EDIT: ups... makepkg functionality not funcionality

Re: makepg funcionality

check /etc/makepkg.conf  for the default options.

Most options in that file (not sure of ftp agent) can be set to a different value in a pkgbuild.

Re: makepg funcionality

Some options do, some do not.  For instance, -e (noextract) is fairly silly as a PKGBUILD level option - if makepkg doesn't recognize the file as, say, a tar.gz or something, it doesn't extract it.  Also, if there are no sources, nothing is extracted.

Some options are valid at the PKGBUILD level:
options=(keepdocs nostrip) for instance

Re: makepg funcionality

oh, i found that the options argument is already included in PKGBUILD (after i did man makepkg). :oops:
