I wanted to update an splited packages PKGBUILD,but it said the pkgname does not allowed charcters but alphabetic,How can I upload such a PKGBUILD instead of split it into two PKGBUILDS?
The AUR has problems parsing split pkgbuilds, you have to trick the AUR. There is an example here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/splittest/PKGBUILD
I have noticed that,but it seems the splited packages could not be seen or searched,just can be download and compiled along with the base package?
Yes, a split package in the AUR can only be seen by the basename, so using tools like yaourt will install all components of the split package. This is a known bug in the AUR, the problem is that parsing split pkgbuilds can be tricky to parse. Namcap recently got a grip on parsing split pkgbuilds, we might see this capability in the AUR, but don't hold your breath
