aur doesn't support split builds

That's bad because makepkg does and I'd like to build kernel26-fbcondecor on top of kernel26 because my intention is to have the stock kernel with the additional fbcondecor patch.

Is there a way to add support for split packages to AUR?

Grab the source code and write some patches. http://projects.archlinux.org/aur.git/

Make sure to read the HACKING file. If you have any other questions you can ask them on the aur-dev mailing list.

Cheers.

If anyone has the courage to do this, I suggest looking into using a PKGBUILD parsing library I wrote[1]. since this would delegate parsing to an external library, future changes like these would be much easier. [1]: http://github.com/sebnow/pkgparse
