Arch Linux

Summary and Info:

When building a package, sometimes it is nice to run simple sed commands on the $pkgname.install files for versions or names. Currently this requires the use of '$startdir' which is quite bad, and ${pkg,src}dir should be used instead, though this is not possible when working with $pkgname.install files, and makes makepkg error, or forces the use of $startdir.



Steps to Reproduce:
make a package with a $pkgname.install file that is not included in the source array (as stated in the PKGBUILD man page) and do something that manipulates said file using "$srcdir/$pkgname.install", where BUILDDIR is defined.
