Right. The current lua script implementation is not really good for
this but could be done ofcourse. Currently the script will source each
APKBUILD and echo $pkgname $pkgver $source etc so variable expansion
works properly. In other words, the comments are currently ignored.

But yes. We need a tool for this.

Maybe /etc/aports/aports.conf

and move /etc/abuild.conf to /etc/aports/abuild.conf ?

Will that not cause confusion? When you talk about aports, do you talk
about the aports tool or the ported applications, buildscripts?

I was thinking of simplifying the abuild script, remove all the code
doing dependencies, recursive building etc, and let 'aports' utility do
that, but keep the shell script to do simple building. Like gentoo has
'emerge' and 'ebuild'

Hmm... We dont want 2 different tools? One that does the actuall
building and one that searches/analyzes the aports tree.

In any case i think we might want the aports.conf be
readable from shell scripts.
