[pacman-dev] [PATCH] Remove checking of pkgver in depends entries

[Allan McRae]

This change was introduced to prevent entries like depends=('foo>').  However,
it had the unintended side effect of causing a number of working PKGBUILDs to
fail to build.  This happened when a PKGBUILD defined a variable through
calling a "complex" statement within the PKGBUILD (e.g. a function or
evaluating in a subshell).

While not catching these "issues" can result in incorrect SRCINFO, the
resulting packages are fine.  Stop aborting on these issues until the large
number of broken PKGBUILDs are fix, and the restrictions of the PKGBUILD format
are documented.
