[aur-general] request: review packages
Hi all, I've created two split packages: django-tables2 [1] and factory_boy [2]. Could someone look them over? I've never created a split package before.

Overall, they look fine. Be aware, though, that the AUR doesn't support split packages, so you have to work around that. Specifically, something like this: pkgname=python-factory_boy true && pkgname=(python-factory_boy python2-factory_boy) You also run into the fact that setting up split packages like this forces someone who wants the python2 version to have python3 installed and vice versa. For this reason, I prefer to keep them separate in the AUR.

Ahaaaa! Thank you. I've seen that construct in other packages, and it had always mystified me.

That's no fun. I think I'll make separate packages, then.
