Task Todo List Remove usage of makepkg subroutines from PKGBUILDs

2020-01-17 - David Runge

The use of makepkg subroutines has been discussed in an old ticket [1].
In 2017 a warning about this was added to namcap and recently the wiki has been been updated to reflect this [2].
A list of packages (with false positives) can be found here [3].

Time for a cleanup!

As a sidenote: If you find, that you are shadowing a test run in check() (e.g. `test || warning "Test is broken"`) please consider *why* you are doing this and whether only a subset of the tests can be run instead (e.g. because parts of the tests are integration tests anyways, that can not be run in makechrootpkg).

EDIT:

After the creation of this TODO, all the functions in this list was made available through libmakepkg and can be considered fine to use inside PKGBUILDs.
