How to use new features

Variables to Arrays

From now on, depends, build_depends, breaks and replace should be written as arrays. The old variable way is still supported, but encouraged to use the array syntax.

# Old
depends="foo bar"
build_depends="baz bizzle"
breaks="fooplus barplus"
replace="foo bar"
# New
depends=("foo" "bar")
build_depends=("baz" "bizzle")
breaks=("fooplus" "barplus")
replace=("foo" "bar")
