BUILDINFO - Makepkg package build information file
This manual page describes the format of a BUILDINFO file found in
the root of a package created by makepkg. The file contains a description of
the package’s build environment. The information is formatted in
key-value pairs separated by a =, one value per line. Arrays are
represented multiple keys with the same value.
This is a description of the contents of version 2 of the
