That's a terrible idea!<br>
<br>
I use SRCNAM for the source... it's the name of the source. PKGNAM<br>
would be "name of the package", but we're already using PRGNAM to<br>
mean the name of the Slackware package we're building. So it's kinda<br>
ambiguous.<br>
<br>
PRGNAM and PKGNAM look too similar IMO. I didn't think anyone would<br>
choose to deliberately use both, but apparently I'm wrong.<br>
<br>
However, a thought: if PKGNAM is never assigned to, *then* it's a typo<br>
if it's referenced... most likely if you never assigned anything to<br>
PKGNAM, then it's a typo for PRGNAM (same as PRGMAN would be).<br>
<br>
I haven't added any code to sbolint to do anything about this.<br>
Just kicking ideas around.<br>
<br>
I think we can all agree that SLCKFLAGS is always a typo though. Or<br>
PRGMAN. Or PGK. I made that typo myself last week, I wrote:<br>
<br>
gzip -9 $PGK/usr/man/man*/*<br>
<br>
Oh, what fun... fortunately gzip won't re-gzip a file that's already<br>
gzipped, so no real harm done, just a minor freak-out as a ton of<br>
"gzip: blah.gz already has .gz suffix" warnings spewed out.<br>
