Hi,
Should we always have a package() function? Are there situations
in which it is not appropriate?
package() functions are good as if one is present then fakeroot will not
be used during the build() function. However, some packages are all
install and no build, so they do not need a separate build() and
package() functions. As makepkg-3.3 can not handle PKGBUILDs with a
package() function and no build() function, in that case it is best to
stick to using just a build() function. (pacman-3.4 will fix that)
