Fixing a single package within a split package requires the overriding or pkgrel. In very rare (but existing) cases, it is useful to override pkgver. Partial fix for FS#15955.

All options and directives for the split packages default to the global values given within the PKGBUILD. However, some of these can be overridden within each split -package's packaging function. The following variables can be overridden: `pkgdesc`, -`license`, `groups`, `depends`, `optdepends`, `provides`, `conflicts`, `replaces`, -`backup`, `options`, `install` and `changelog`. +package's packaging function.

Hello Allan!

I don't know whether it works fully, because I didn't test it in hard way, but thanks this feature, it seems fine.

What about arch overriding ? Do you work on it, or can a patch be sent to you ?

It is a lot harder to override arch. I have a partially working patch that I am finishing. Allan
