I'm wondering how to split this into several packages...

Does the following look OK?

- pfring-module-svn for kernel module

- pfring-driver-xxx-svn for kernel drivers (one per card driver: e1000e igb tg3 ...)

- pfring-svn for userland (lib and includes)

- snort-pfring-svn, tcpdump-pfring-svn... for pf_ring capable softwares (with conflicts=snort, conflicts=tcpdump...)

Hi, That looks fine. Are you thinking of writing a split PKGBUILD? If so, realize that the AUR doesn't support them. You will need to write a separate PKGBUILD for each component. -- Chris

There's a workaround for this even if it would be better if AUR would support split packages natively without needing a workaround.

See the demo package splittest: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=42514

That works. And also you can include a generic/barebones PKGBUILD which tells the user to rename a PKGBUILD.split (the real PKGBUILD) to PKGBUILD.
