Sure, no problem. Currently, our build server uses some custom attributes in the PKGBUILD for additional metadata needed for things like release monitoring. I would like to start using .SRCINFO files on the server because they are easier to parse and also because it would be better convention-wise. Here's an example[1].

I'm going to suggest that you look at scripts/libmakepkg/srcinfo.sh.in in the pacman code base (or /usr/share/makepkg/srcinfo.sh when installed). It would be very easy to create a script that sources that file, adds a function to print your extend attributes and adjusts write_srcinfo() to output the additional fields too. Unless significant other demand for this happens, I will not be adding this feature to makepkg itself. Allan
