I am trying to create a PKGBUILD for xen-tools git repo.
However, I have been beating my head against the wall with some strange issue. During the package() of the PKGBUILD, I need to create the man directories so I call "install -dm755 ${pkgdir}/man/man8" but for some strange reason makepkg creates the "pkg" directory with NO permissions and I cannot set them either. If I am real root, the PKGBUILD works.
Anyone know why the heck makepkg creates the "pkg/" directory with no permissions? I just finished another PKGBUILD without any issues.

Just realized something: makepkg isn't calling fakeroot. This would explain why it's failing but no idea why it's not calling fakeroot though.

Shoot; never mind. Moved it from build() to package() and it works fine now.
