PKGBUILD - installing in home
Hello all.
I want to make a package which would install to home directory of the user which is installing it - is it possible? It's a set of scripts and has to be in a writable directory, so every user interested in it has to have their own copy of the program.
Is some $home variable available?

Re: PKGBUILD - installing in home
It is possible but I don't think that messing with PKGBUILD is a good way to do it. I'd rather make my users to use "--root" option of pacman to install package within their home dir. It would be also possible to write simple script to do it automatically when pacman is run by non-root user. Anyway RM for the details.
