downgrade-11.3.0-1 package doesn't include executables

[Pat Brisbin]

🐛 Bug Report

Checklist

• No duplicate issues/PRs
• Are you running the latest downgrade release from the AUR?

Environment

• System information:

• Downgrade version:
  11.3.0-1

Description

Packing doesn't include executables.

Steps to Reproduce

See https://pastebin.com/DETBtY9r.

Expected behavior

Executables should be included in package (and installed).

Actual behavior

Executables are not packaged or installed.

Other

It seems like this bit is broken:

for script_ in ; do \
  ...
done

I would expect that to be something like,

for script_ in downgrade pacignore; do \
  ...
done

But I suspect there is a make variable that is incorrect.

So this must be something about the reporting user's system that makes,

SCRIPTS      ?= $(shell find bin -type f -executable -printf "%f\n")

not work.

One theory could be that SCRIPTS is defined somehow for them and is overriding this because of ?=. I don't know that we have a valid use-case for allowing override, and perhaps using := instead would make this work. If that's even the issue.

The above issue happens when building on a partition with the noexec option.

Thanks for following up, that makes sense. It seems like a bit of an edge-case to add an explicit check for, but if someone opened that as a PR I would probably merge it. Closing this issue now, since it seems to be have been explained.
