So we have multi-arch split package support in Makepkg now. I tested this a bit, and results are nice:
$ du -hs /srv/ftp/testing/os/*/wesnoth-1.8.2-2-*.pkg.tar.xz 266M /srv/ftp/testing/os/i686/wesnoth-1.8.2-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz 266M /srv/ftp/testing/os/x86_64/wesnoth-1.8.2-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
$ du -hs wesnoth-1.8.2-3-* wesnoth-data-1.8.2-3-any.pkg.tar.xz 3.2M wesnoth-1.8.2-3-i686.pkg.tar.xz 3.2M wesnoth-1.8.2-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz 262M wesnoth-data-1.8.2-3-any.pkg.tar.xz
Downside of this is that makechrootpkg builds the -any package twice, so things could be improved there.
Question is: how will commitpkg and our dbscripts handle this?
For now you cannot use thise new makepkg feature. I plan to add support to this to devtools and db-svripts, but didn't spend a second on it yet. So I don't even know how easy it is to implement. PS: the new makepkg allows you to have a different pkgver/pkgrel for split packages or just build one of them. You cannot use these features either and I don't know if I will add those in the future. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
