assuming you do the $pkgname change you suggested above. Then, when you want a list of those files (to make sourceball, copy to chroot, whatever) you just loop through the arrays like we already do for pkgname. So no more need of these crazy grep and sed to get this information.
We may want to do that for all pkgbuild variables. Aaron and I discussed about using bash associative array. But this still requires some more brainstorming and work :)
This patch is on hold for the time being yet? Mostly just cleaning out the inbox here but wasn't sure from the discussion whos turn it is to act.
I think the next act is to explore more the idea of an alternative split format, to know if it is doable and solves all our problems. The problem is that this should be done before more tool support for split pkgbuilds is done.
