mkaurball is completely obsolete since the AUR switched to git. mksrcinfo is now taken care of directly by pacman. This really doesn't do much useful anymore that can't be done by a very simple alias.
This task depends upon

Yes, this is fine -- note that makepkg's srcinfo generation is substantially slower than could be (somewhere on the order of 7-10x slower due to a flat initialization cost of makepkg). This is important to me because I occasionally do batch analysis on the repo source trees, but I'll continue to maintain my own (fast) tooling for this.

Is this still considered for deletion?

I'd like to employ it in the build system for i686, because it's faster than makepkg.

btw: the source seems to be offline - where do I report upstream bugs?

cheers,
Erich

Ping? At the very least, mkaurball should be removed and mksrcinfo should be updated to create the same file as makepkg (no header).

The latest git version literally runs makepkg for you, which means it is completely pointless except as a stub for compatibility with existing scripts (and I guess also to allow sending the output to a file via an argument rather than shell redirection, which would be useful if we ever expected someone to run makepkg --printsrcinfo without a shell).

@deepthought,

And of course the upstream url.

But this unbuildable source should really be updated in the PKGBUILD if we aren't going to pull it entirely.
