[Dev] [PATCH] libremakepkg: fix building packages requring a rw startdir

[Andreas Grapentin]

I have to admit I don't understand the reasoning behind requiring a
read-only startdir. I like the idea of the pkgver() function being able
to modify the PKGBUILD file automagically for vcs based package sources.

Could someone explain to me why we want to break this behaviour?

Best,
-A
