[aur-general] [AUR4] Single binary package for different architectures

[Martti Kühne]

Do this:

source_i686=("http://example.com/release-${pkgver}-i386.tar.gz")
md5sums_i686=('ffeeddccbbaa99887766554433221100')
source_x86_64=("http://example.com/release-${pkgver}-x86_64.tar.gz")
md5sums_x86_64=('00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff')

package() {
  local tarball="${source_i686[0]}"
  [ "$CARCH" == x86_64 ] && tarball="${source_x86_64[0]}"
  tar xzf "$tarball" "$pkgdir"
}

This way you're making use of the feature that was introduced to
streamline architecture dependency for metadata extraction that is
needed for use with the AUR. If you read FS#43714 closely, it says
basically what I just said, that the bash functions sometimes have to
clean up after the fact that we want to be one set of metadata and the
same in all places, on all architectures. Anything else would simply
defeat the purpose of compatibility.

cheers!
