BTW, I've noticed that you are using the svn source version in the pkgrel so we have pkgrel=0.41443 which looks quite weird. Why don't you just use the version as stated in configure.ac for the package, i.e. 1.1.1-1? It seems to be sufficient IMO. If you really want to also have the svn version there, put it in the pkgver: 1.1.1.41443-1. The pkgrel is supposed to be used for the PKGBUILD version, not the package's source version.
Agreed. Additionally, we never fully "agreed" on this whole decimal pkgrel thing, and I, for one, find it annoying to see "foobar-1.2.3.4-1.3.7" - it's a major wtf moment. Not only should the pkgrel reflect _our_ version, not upstream's version, but we should try to stick to integers to avoid confusion, and it's not like we're going to run out of integers any time soon
