Description:

There are some variables declared as "readonly" in the PKGBUILD. This breaks subsequent patching, like done by us (archlinux32):
We append our additions to the PKGBUILD to avoid merging conflicts when archlinux changes something.
However, we cannot change readonly stuff by doing this.

For an example what we usually do, have a look here: https://github.com/archlinux32/packages/blob/master/core/linux/PKGBUILD

As far as I can see, there is no advantage of using readonly variables. Please correct me, if I'm wrong.
