So, I am not 100% sure how to proceed from here. First the bits that seemed to
be cleared:
- using nobody to build packages when srcpac was called as root is a good
idea
- the get_pkgname() function should be adjusted to use something along the
lines of the DB scripts (including support for the "any" arch) to get
rid of the perl stuff
Not clear, at least not to me:
- undecided whether to keep the package specific configs in /etc/srcpac.d
or in /var/srcpac
- if called with sudo what would be the benefit to drop privileges to the
user who invoked srcpac instead than nobody. AJAIK makpkg doesn't
support user specific build options, but the ones set in
/etc/makepkg.conf (please correct me if I am wrong on this)
I'd be happy to help and add all these changes and provide patches push it to
my public repo or whatever you see fit.
