[aur-general] Package splitting

Hi all,

I'm planning to package pf_ring for archlinux.

pf_ring has several components:
  - Common kernel module
  - Several kernel drivers for some network cards
  - Userland lib and includes
  - Some pf_ring capable softwares (tcpdump, libpcap, snort...)

I'm wondering how to split this into several packages...

Does the following look OK?

 - pfring-module-svn for kernel module

 - pfring-driver-xxx-svn for kernel drivers (one per card driver:
   e1000e igb tg3 ...)

 - pfring-svn for userland (lib and includes)

 - snort-pfring-svn, tcpdump-pfring-svn... for pf_ring capable
   softwares (with conflicts=snort, conflicts=tcpdump...)

Thanks,

--
