Is that really such a bad thing? I just want to make it clear,
since I've
been a bit confused about it for a while now. As far as I can tell
the only
reason not to use custom variables is that the current AUR code base
doesn't support them (or maybe it does now?), so URLs and such have
unparsed variables in them. Apart from that I don't see any
problems with
them, as long as it is made sure that they won't conflict with
existing
package, and using an underscore will do that.
What's the point of using a variable if it never changes and it is
used
only once?
In this case it's not really necessary, I agree, but I was asking
about the general use of "private" variables.
