Hello list,
Here is a patch against makepkg from git which introduces a new function
"write_srcinfo()". This generates a file .SRCINFO - like the .PKGINFO
one - when "makepkg --source" is run and then it is added to the src.tar.gz
archive.
I think having such a file is an important step for getting split packages to
the AUR. It is also useful for third party applications. Since this file is
generated during making the source archive, there is no need for parsing/sourcing
the PKGBUILD everytime meta infos are needed afterwards.
This is also a way of standardizing the source archive.
.SRCINFO looks like (generated for gcc from core):

As you see this file contains of different parts separated by a leading
tag. "global" denotes the global PKGBUILD vars and the name of the split
package denotes the local package variables. However, this is just a
first formatting approach. This can be changed according to further
needs. I think this is a clear and easily readable/parseable output.
Note that "packager" defaults to the person who actually build the
source archive. Perhaps this has to be changed to AUR user name, not to
the makepkg.conf PACKAGER entry.
