Removed custom variable $_realver. Now it can be marked as safe...

_realver is only used once. You can just put 0.9.0 directly in the source array:
source=(http://download.berlios.de/dbf/$pkgname-core-0.9.0.src.zip)

Custom variables are not forbidden, but we (the TU) have decided to be more strict because users tended to overuse them.

Why is it unnecessary? Yes, I can do something like $(echo $pkgver | cut -d \'_\' -f 1), but in my opinion use of $_realver custom variable is more KISS.

If I remember it right, custom variables (if not completely unnecessary and if prefixed by underscore) in PKGBUILDs aren\'t forbidden.

Please don\'t use un-necessary custom variables in your PKGBUILD.

dbf is an easy-to-use command line tool to show and convert the content of dBASE III, IV, and 5.0 files. It reads dBASE databases and prints the content to the screen or converts it to comma-separated (*.csv) files which can be opened in Excel, StarOffice, and most other spread sheets. It can also be used to show some statistics about the content.
