Can't you just open it in nano or vim?

Of course... or even better, Emacs. :-) But I'd like to know if I could do something like 'get-pkg-version', so from time to time I could use a script to create a list with the packages and the version numbers. Then would be easy to check if a bunch all packages are up-to-date. Or even publish so a team could easily check if they are up-to-date. (Then someone could open those ones in Emacs and update the checksum with a key-stroke. :-)

yep! could you give an example of a bash function that gets the $pkgver from a file?

Just paste Gaetans two lines into a file: . `pwd`/PKGBUILD echo $pkgver Save it in a directory which is in your PATH variable and make it executeable. If you mean with file an archive from AUR, then you have to untar it first: tar -xzf `pwd`/$1.tar.gz cd `pwd`/$1 . `pwd`/PKGBUILD echo $pkgver # Clean up cd .. rm -r $1 You must call this script with the package name obtained, e.g. pkgver dccnightmare

Hey all,

How to have access and change PKGBUILD variables? Is there command-line tools for this kind of job, so one could easily check, for example, the version number, change it and update the checksum?

There is no such prepackaged tool, because we assume these are trivial tasks which I'm sure you can chalk up yourself, for eg.:

#!/bin/bash find /var/abs -name $1 -exec grep ^pkgver=[a-zA-Z0-9].* {}/PKGBUILD \; | sed 's/pkgver=//'

To check.

find /var/abs -name $1 -exec sed 's/^pkgver=.*/pkgver=3.4/' -i {}/PKGBUILD \;

To change.

Of course, you have to do some copying from /var/abs and not just edit directly like that.
