Seems Dave has been too fast for me to complete my ".install message typo" bug for pkgfile, let's do this instead ;-)

The .install mentions to remove the old file lists on post_remove(), this should probably be printed on post_upgrade() too now.
Also kill the directories altogether in the upstream Makefile.
And no 'replaces=('nosr-git')?
This task depends upon

Sure, sounds good. I expect I'll be doing another pkgfile release later this week anyways.

And no, no replaces=(nosr-git). we don't speak of AUR packages in community.

Ah, sure, no AUR ... somehow thought it was in community.

I'm not sure if what I describe here is the same issue in this bug report, but when I removed 'nosr-git' because I was changing to pkgfile, the /var/cache/nosr directory was not removed. I just checked the .install file for pkgfile 1-1 and there was no post_remove() function to remove /var/cache/pkgfile.

I can create another FS# if needed.

No, there's no post_remove for deleting /var/cache/pkgfile. I'm not going to add this, either. At best, it'll be a reminder.

I fully support a reminder about that.
