[Solved] Override value inside OPITONS=() /etc/makepkg.conf.d/*.conf
From the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Makepk … es_and_LTO, i have to `OPTIONS=(...!debug !lto...)` but to add those i have copy the whole line which creates a situation where if i do in a drop in file, future defaults won't get applied or if do in /etc/makepkg.conf, i will have to pacdiff everytime the /etc/makepkg.conf gets updated.
Are there any other way to do this where i get new defaults and to override only spedific value.

It's a bash array, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/168 … bash-array

Does removing the value (lto & debug ) from the OPTIONS=( ) enough? Because in docs it saying to add a "!" character directly in front of them.
This will make it easier as i won't have to first delete those values and add them again with "!" prepended.

You could just traverse the array and replace the undesired key resp. ultimately add what you want.
The easiest way however would be to build a new array by copying the old elements, skipping the undesired ones and appending yours.
