In `makepkg' (that is, in `scripts/makepkg.sh.in'), the following exist:
local provides_list=()
eval $(awk '/^[[:space:]]*provides=/,/\)/' "$BUILDFILE" | \
sed -e "s/provides=/provides_list+=/" -e "s/#.*//" -e 's/\\$//')
...
local backup_list=()
eval $(awk '/^[[:space:]]*backup=/,/\)/' "$BUILDFILE" | \
sed -e "s/backup=/backup_list+=/" -e "s/#.*//" -e 's/\\$//')
...
local optdepends_list=()
eval $(awk '/^[[:space:]]*optdepends=\(/,/\)[[:space:]]*(#.*)?$/'
"$BUILDFILE" | \
sed -e "s/optdepends=/optdepends_list+=/" -e "s/#.*//" -e
's/\\$//')
...
local known kopt options_list
eval $(awk '/^[[:space:]]*options=/,/\)/' "$BUILDFILE" | \
sed -e "s/options=/options_list+=/" -e "s/#.*//" -e 's/\\$//')
Perhaps there are more.
As you can plainly see, this ruins the ability to include comments that use
the `)' character, as in the following:
options=(
'!strip'
'!makeflags' # Apparently, there are issues with concurrency (`-j2', etc.)
)
Sincerely,
Michael Witten
