[aur-general] packaging question for optional-wayland optional-xorg package

[todd freed]

Sounds good.

Though, if I build a couple variants from a single PKGBUILD (which I
think is what split-package means), wouldn't users need to have
dependencies installed sufficient to build all of them? In that case,
should I have separate PKGBUILD files?

Thanks again.
