Why do you use package() function when the package isn't a

Hello :)
Using both build() and package() is not necessary condition
for use only with splitted packages, its avoid to use the
fakeroot on building process that is not needed in 99% of
packages.
Good luck!
Sorry, but I consider the use of fakeroot a good thing, it helps
to reveal errors while packaging/creating the PKGBUILD at
least. Don't know why it should be avoided.
fakeroot make a table of function pointers for many file
manipulation calls, like open(), close(), chmod() and etc ->
overhead, slowdowns (small of course)
During the build process file perms are not necessary to be
"tracked", or at least in 99% of packages. Only during the
install process is only needed.
If you have an example that breaks this, please let me know ;)

Nice feature! I didn't know that using package() avoids using of
fakeroot.
Back to my point. There used to be a problem with compilation of
amarok1 package from AUR only because of fakeroot and I guess
that it would also help with building of mplayer (configure
crashes under fakeroot environment and needs to be patched but
maybe it was fixed meanwile alongside with amarok1 problem). So
in some specific cases I can see the point of using separate
package() even when the PKGBUILD builds only one package.
best,
Lukas

Most reported crashes on bugtracker are because nvidia libgl, that
conflics with libfakeroot, both uses dlsym() (nvidia i don't know
why does this, fakeroot do this to fill a table of pointer to
functions), the result is a jump to NULL :P

Hi Gerardo can you confirm that there are no (owner) permission
issues when building without fakeroot (i.e all owned by user)? I
don't see chown anywhere other than extract_sources().
If your packaging is done properly, then there is no issues. Always
use "install" and not "cp".

I've often seen cp used in makefiles, would this cause problems? Would
you need to patch those makefiles?
If it breaks stuff, then you should tell upstream that they makefile is
crap.
