My reasoning is that there's no reason to complicate our PKGBUILDs to fix something I don't consider a problem. We should really just be able to copy-paste an upstream URL; and if the filenames collide I'd rather have this fixed automatically rather than manually in every PKGBUILD. > Another option would be to teach makepkg to shard out SRCDEST by > $pkgbase, allowing source contents to be "namespaced" to a degree. We could also do what wget does: use the full URL as path. So the source file http://github.com/libfoo/v0.4.1.tar.gz would end up being downloaded as $SRCDEST/github.com/libfoo/v0.4.1.tar.gz . That's clean and generic. Are there any tools that rely on SCRDEST and that would be disturbed by a change like this? Cheers. -- Gaetan
