Make a patch that allows for both lib versions in this package. This change is incompatible with programs that are not defining the double precision bullet flag.

Hi,

here is a patch that installs all libs as *Double.so.
An alterantive would be a second package, bullet-double, with bullet-common including alls headers.

Thanks for that. That is quite a large diff, though. All in all, don't you think it'd be better if you maintained a bullet-double package in AUR? It's policy not to patch things too much in Arch and this is pushing it a bit.

Yeah, i guess you are right. Maybe i contact the bullet guys to get some of the patches included upstream.
Thanks anyway!

I'm not sure bullet double precision even is a first class citizen, especially with bullet 3. Anyway, I'm closing this. This is exactly what AUR is for.
