Details

Summary and Info:
Running makepkg -R will create a package that ignores any changes to PKGBUILD, as it writes the new .PKGINFO file to the wrong directory and so ends up using the old .PKGINFO file.


Steps to Reproduce:
Run makepkg. Edit the PKGBUILD (e.g., bump the pkgrel). Run makepkg -R. The new package will be named correctly, but open it up and inspect its .PKGINFO file: still contains the old info. Look in your working directory: there's the .PKGINFO file that should have been written to $pkgdir.

Fix attached (though I made the diff against /usr/bin/makepkg rather than the source, sorry).
