Thanks
Using $pkgdir and $srcdir is more welcome than using
$startdir/{src,pkg}
Not if you're writing a log file and makepkg -c is used.
If all these variables are defined, they all can be used. The question
is, for what purpose. Having a logfile in $startdir sounds reasonable
to me.
Files which are needed to compile a package should go to $srcdir,
files that should be in the resulting package should got to $pkgdir.
In general, you should never use $startdir. There is no guarantee that
$stardir/src = $srcdir or similarly with $pkgdir. In fact that
definitely does not hold with split packages. If you want to log the
build, use "makepkg -L".
I can not think of a valid reason to use $startdir.
