Adding this restriction means we can filter any FILENAME entry from
starting with a "/" or a ".". Use the term "dot" as it is more
computing relevant compared to "full stop" or "period" which vary
depending on English locale.

Rearrange the functions section of the PKGBUILD man package. Clarify
that the package() function is a requirement and the rest are all
optional. Note that $pkgdir should only be used in the package()
function.

Using the value of "SKIP" in the checksum array will cause that
integrity check to be skipped. This makes building packages that
rely on user configurable sources less painful.

This gets us close to using the same modeline in all files we run
through Asciidoc, as well as adding the spell and spelllang
declarations, just as we had in NEWS already.
The choice of 'en_us' is mainly for consistency and because the body of
work already uses these spellings.

We can override pkgver and pkgrel so it is only logical to add epoch
to that list

It was a bit unclear that both pkgver and pkgrel were included in the
passed version strings; clarify this fact in the manpage. Also include
epoch in the mix now that it exists.
Also make two other minor consistency touchups to code-print variables

This patch enables the automatic compression of executable binaries
using UPX when the 'upx' options is specified in makepkg.conf or the
PKGBUILD. Additional arguments can be passed to UPX by specifying
the UPXFLAGS variable.

Instead, go the same route we have always taken with version-release in
libalpm and treat it all as one piece of information. Makepkg is the only
script that knows about epoch as a distinct value; from there on out we will
parse out the components as necessary.
This makes the code a lot simpler as far as epoch handling goes. The
downside here is that we are tossing some compatibility to the wind;
packages using force will have to be rebuilt with an incremented epoch to
keep their special status.

A PKGBUILD can have an option check() function for running test suites
between the build() and package() stages. This function is run by
default but can be disabled globally in with "!check" in BUILDENV in
makepkg.conf. This setting can be controlled on an individual package
basis using makepkg's --check and --nocheck flags. Addition dependencies
needed for running the test suite can be specified in the checkdepends
array and are only checked when running the check() function.

For some packages, generally the 'any' arch ones, a build step is not
required and therefore can be skipped. In these cases, a package()
function without a build() one is sufficient.
As a side effect, this commit makes meta packages without any function
at all in the PKGBUILD possible.
Fixes FS#15147.

This allows building a mixture of binary and arch=any packages.
Fixes FS#15955.
The value of CARCH is no longer overridden to "any" in when arch=any
is used and the assigning of the "any" arch is delayed to during the
packaging stage. Adjustments were required to fix installing and
checking for pre-built packages of varing arches.

Currently, a changelog is added to a package if a specific file with a
hardcoded name exists in the PKGBUILD's directory. This approach is not
pretty and also inconsistent with the handling of install files, but it
works.
With the introduction of split PKGBUILDs, however, a drawback in this
old behavior has arisen: you only have the possibility to include one
specific changelog file in either every package defined in the PKGBUILD
or in none.
The use of an additional variable, `changelog`, works around this issue
and makes it possible to include a changelog in only some of the
packages, and besides, each package of the PKGBUILD can have its own
changelog file.
