Description:

Building any mercurial package with makepkg fails when $srcdir is not $startdir/src.

Additional info:

error log: https://gist.github.com/4144470
Most importantly, line 24:
remote: abort: There is no Mercurial repository here (.hg not found)!
When makepkg first pulls the source code, it (incorrectly) pulls it into $startdir.
Then, when the build() function begins, the pwd is $srcdir, and when it looks for src/$_hgrepo/.hg, it obviously can't find it. Therefore, makepkg is incorrectly building these kinds of packages.

The issue goes away if SRCDEST in .makepkg.conf is commented out.

Steps to reproduce:

change the SRCDEST variable in makepkg.conf
This task depends upon

Wow, I just realized that there was a separate bug section for pacman. Whoops. But I won't double-post, so if anyone can move it over somehow, that would be great.

I'm closing this as wontfix -- VCS support in makepkg has been rewritten from scratch. If you'd like to test with pacman-git and find that the bug is still valid, please reopen under the correct project.
