It'd be nice to have a place to refer to when arguing some changes to PKGBUILDs.man PKGBUILD: startdir was most often used in combination with /src or /pkg postfixes, but use of the srcdir and pkgdir variables is preferred.The wording has been made even stronger about not using $startdir for the next pacman release.
Ah, excellent, I wasn't aware of the existence of that man-page.Another thing that I've been wondering about is the relationship between 'depends' and 'makedepends'. The description in the man-page is fairly clear, but just to check I'm wondering if it's correct to say that
1. a dependency should _never_ be mentioned in both 'depends' and 'makedepends'?2. the packages required to build a package is the union of 'depends' and 'makedepends'?
