I do not like the repetition of makepkg.conf.5 here. I'd prefer just
**PKGDEST=**"/path/to/folder"::
Overrides the corresponding value defined in linkman:makepkg.conf[5].
Or something quite simple like that. People can then look up
makepkg.conf.5 to find out what the variable does.
I agree with you. How about
**PKGDEST=**"/path/to/folder"::
Folder where the resulting packages will be stored. Overrides the
corresponding value defined in linkman:makepkg.conf[5].
**SRCDEST=**"/path/to/folder"::
Folder where the downloaded sources will be stored. Overrides the
corresponding value defined in linkman:makepkg.conf[5].
Looks good to me. I'll let Dan comment as he always picks holes in my
documentation! :P
