Why would we need to change license, pkgver and url? This is for splitting packages that come in a single source file... Otherwise you make two PKGBUILDs. Can anyone give me a possible reason for changing these.
IIRC once I maintained a package (a game) that had its data under a different license than source, but was packaged in one tarball (my memory may be wrong though).
I really think we need to take a big step back here. What we really need is to have a prototype PKGBUILD for a split package that is relatively agreed upon. As I said in other emails there are multiple ways to do this and one needs to be chosen. Once the decisions have been made about the approach to take, and a naming scheme for functions/variables, then we can look at patches. At the moment the patches seem without a defined goal (at least to me).
