I wanted to convert the tigervnc-svn PKGBUILD in AUR to the new VCS handling in pacman-4.1. The problem is, the upstream tigervnc source has a README.txt file in it. But when makepkg runs

svn checkout --config-dir "$dir" "$url" "$dir"

the README.txt in the checkout is from subversion, not tigervnc (subversion creates a few files in config-dir, among them README.txt). Later when the source is exported, there's no README.txt in the export. This causes package creation to fail with

CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:56 (FILE):
file INSTALL cannot find
"/var/abs/local/tigervnc-svn/src/tigervnc/README.txt".


I suggest using something other than "$dir" for --config-dir
This task depends upon
