Details

if you run makepkg in a directory with a name that contains a blank, makepkg is not capable of handling it:

[damir@Asteraceae damir]$ cd building/GYach\ Enhanced/
[damir@Asteraceae GYach Enhanced]$ ls
PKGBUILD PKGBUILD~
[damir@Asteraceae GYach Enhanced]$ makepkg

Reason for closing:  Won't fix

apeiro, just need to double-quote vars (ie "$1")
Comment by Judd Vinet (judd) - Wednesday, 28 January 2004, 17:18 GMT
actually, it's more complicated than that. The $startdir variable contains the CWD, so every PKGBUILD would have to double-quote $startdir.

It also causes trouble when using an underscore, probably some other chars as well.

this bug is old, what is it's state ?
Comment by Judd Vinet (judd) - Monday, 07 February 2005, 17:45 GMT
Same state. I haven't found an elegant way to fix this without having to tweak the PKGBUILDs themselves.

Closing as "Won't Fix" for now.
