Had to try this myself because I don't trust you on this for whatever reason:
$ set -- -a '1 2 3' -b; printf '<%s>\n' "$@" <-a> <1 2 3> <-b> $ set -- -a '1 2 3' -b; printf '<%s>\n' "$*" <-a 1 2 3 -b> Wow uh. So. My own expectation was that "1 2 3" would be split up too instead. I'm not decided on which of these makepkg should do. I can submit the implied makepkg patch and scan the project tree for other instances of this. cheers! mar77i
