Sadly not even the AUR webinterface pays attention to variables right now. By using a source like

_majorver=(`echo $pkgver | egrep -o '[0-9]+\.[0-9]*+'`)

But how should someone uploading to AUR handle this?

Just don't use such complex variables and change $_majorver manually if this variable is really necessary and the major version has changed like you already need to do it with $pkgver. Heiko
