From 4d2ec3751c6e7ee47cdb784ed5cab0992f03c9dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cedric Staniewski Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2009 12:56:13 +0100 Subject: makepkg: allow the use of only a package() 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.
