Recently,I was attracted by the songbird and nightingage media player based on Mozilla Tech.And I noticed these to nightly build PKGBUILD in AUR whose pkgver is part of a shell command string,and I want to do something to make that pkgver recognised by the AUR interface.
Anyone who can tell me how to write a automatic nightly build PKGBUILD?Or,is there any standard on nightly build PKGBUILD?
Thanks!

Short answer: Please don't do this sort of magical garbage. As an AUR helper author, I send apples full of razor blades to people who do this.
Long answer: If you insist, you can probably fool the AUR with a redefinition, in the same way that split packages are done, e.g.
pkgver=2011.12.19 : && pkgver=$(<<<cat sed statement)
The first definition of the pkgver will still be the one that remains as the AUR's recognized version, though.
dave I under stand what you saying,I found these orphaned PKGBIULDs in AUR with what your said magical garbage and made the AUR looks aweful.So I adopted them and trying to correct that,but I didn't know what exaclty should be done to these nightly build kind of PKGBUILD whith automatic detecting pkgver tricks,that why this mail came to the list?
I will update them with the removing of all that tricks.
Got it -- I misunderstood your intentions. Your efforts are much appreciated! d
