This way you only have a PKGBUILD to maintain. AUR now supports them by default so I see no major issues here. The rule of thumb that I tend to apply now is: Write a single PKGBUILD per downloaded file. Make it a split package if necessary. -- Nuno Araujo <[email protected]> http://www.russo79.com Nuno, sorry but I'm lost here. To me a "split package" is 2 separate packages, one for the CLI and another one for the GUI. The GUI will only include the GUI itself (GTK+) obviously and not the actual program which will be listed as a dependency. So, does that not imply 2 separate PKGBUILD's and 2 separate packages? One for CLI and one for GUI? Sorry but I'm obviously missing something. I looked at wiki AUR packaging standard but not finding what you are referring to. You are referring to a single PKGBUILD. Can you please explain or refer me to proper wiki section? Thanks.
