With a package() function, you can actually change the contents of the package.
Splitting of the build and package steps is one of the most under-appreciated features in the last pacman release. It is really good to see someone actually using it. (I do not and I implemented it!)

May I ask what's the policy in case of earlier submitted, but working packages ? Is it needed to modify according to this new feature immediately if otherwise the packages work well and no requirement until now from the users for splitting Is it enough to modify according to this feature only that time if I need to change the PKGBUILDs because of other reason(s) too ?
It is fully backwards compatible (otherwise you would have noticed by now...), so do whatever you want.

Okay, thanks Allan! Best Regards, Laszlo Papp
