that pkg1 is the head section, while pkg2, pkg3 is subsection of the build. I've implemented this concept with python, and it works. 1: http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/mesa/repos/extra-x86_64/PKGBUILD?revision=51142&view=markup On Sat, Sep 5, 2009 at 2:57 AM, Allan McRae wrote:

why not use the same pkginfo with variables for both packages while using separate build section, which is the subbuild for sub packages. On Fri, Sep 4, 2009 at 8:09 PM, Andreas Radke wrote: > Am Fri, 4 Sep 2009 19:58:48 +0200 > schrieb Damjan Georgievski : > > > I've been looking for documentat

[arch-general] PKGBUILD: mkdir or install?
