Hi,

There was no response on the pacman-dev list but someone here might find this potentially useful:

It's written in Perl but it could easily be adapted to Python. It handles Bash variable interpolation and string substitutions so far. I'll add support for other PKGBUILD "tricks"as I come across them, e.g. setting dependencies by architecture. The post linked above includes simplified JSON output from the split kernel26 package.

What was the problem with that from Sebastian which was discussed earlier on the mailing lists, IRCs ? How does it know more ? Best Regards, Laszlo Papp
