Why doesn't it use the AUR package?I like to keep things simple for users. For AUR packages, that means trying to avoid depending on other AUR packages, as in my experience, most utilities that people use cannot resolve them, especially if they are building in a chroot.It's more important to be correct than convenient. Downloading the builder is not appropriate here.I myself try to avoid using "advanced" (or hard to read) bash in PKGBUILDs such as here https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=buildozer#n44Perhaps it is because I use parameter substitution in shell scripts regularly, I don't find that to be particularly hard to read. I understand that it could cause users who are not familiar with parameter substitution to scratch their heads, though, and think that's a fair comment and something that could be changed.This is not a matter of understanding but of readability. I'm with Ben here: It's better to be clear than clever.
Do you have any response to these statements? I'm curious to hear your thoughts.
