Any chance of resubmitting this with the required documentation added (PKGBUILD.5.txt and addition to PKGBUILD.proto)? I think that this patch can be included once that is done.
Hello old thread! Anyone still interested in this? I'm not sure what the status on it is, other than it is probably my fault it got dropped on the floor.
The patch was never resubmitted and it is way down the priority list for me so I had forgotten all about it to. Anyway, I will be writing documentation for the package splitting stuff in makepkg soon so I could include that if no-one else does. I would prefer someone else did it... Allan
