Summary and Info:

As disscussed here:http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2009-August/012836.html

The pkgver, pkgrel, arch variables should be overridden to let us do split packages of packages with different pkgver/pkgrel and different arch (to have 'any' arch packages in splitted PKGBUILD)
This task depends upon

overriding pkgver looks strange to me, isn't it the version of the shared source?

but I think it makes sense for pkgrel and arch

I agree pkgver override looks strange but Eric pointed out that lvm2 and device-mapper come from the same tarball but have different pkgvers. Still not sure about it...

And stupid question : what will the souce tarball name look like? :)
Comment by Eric Belanger (Snowman) - Monday, 17 August 2009, 17:36 GMT
yeah, it might be an exception case. The tarball name: LVM2.2.02.51.tgz with lvm2 2.02.51 and device-mapper 1.02.36 They used to come in seperate tarballs with the lvm2 tarball also containing the device-mapper source. But they stopped doing a seperate tarball for device-mapper.

"arch" should definitely be overridable. A good argument for that is the nexuiz package. The 600 MB of game data is architecture independent ('any') but the clients are architecture-specific ('i686' 'x86_64').

pkgver and pkgrel:

arch:
http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2009-October/009680.html

with these patches, I can build the following from 1 PKGBUILD:
p1-123-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
p2-123-1-any.pkg.tar.gz
p3-321-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz
p4-123-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
Note changing arch, pkgver and pkgrel
