Actually, we might even be able to ignore the arch=() field for
purposes of uploading here. We could just loop over a hardcoded list
of architectures (let's face it, these won't be changing regularly).
The dbscripts do something similar - there is an ARCHES=(i686 x86_64)
array, and some (not all) for loops do:
for _arch in ${arch...@]} any; do ... done
Maybe I'm over-thinking it and missing a simpler solution. I'm trying to
be as explicit as possible, in order to avoid uploading any unneeded or
wrong packages that, for whatever reason, may exist in the same
directory where commitpkg is run. Another crucial point is that
archrelease must not be executed (for the currently examined repo) if
not all packages are present and uploaded.
At any rate, I think we'll have to retrieve sub package variables in the
foreseeable future, when this gets implemented:
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15955. It certainly looks tricky though,
as the variables are overridden in package_*() functions which contain
other commands as well.
