My proposal to change the split pkgbuild slightly by including all variables at the top level would also help a lot for this, right ?
But I still didn't try to see how doable that was.

Yeah, we had this conversation a while back and I'm just not seeing a sane route any other way. In addition, the current format is damn hard to parse by anything but bash; moving these up and having some naming convention would make it a lot easier for other tools to parse.

My main problem with changing the format is that I have yet to see a suggest that does not make the PKGBUILD damn hard to read. But I agree that the current format is not fun to parse...
