I propose that there should be a default way of writing this in PKGBUILDs. I think of smth like: " [[ $CARCH == "i686" ]] && .. " And only this should be allowed. This is then easily parseable. I know this is quite restrictive, but it is also an approach to standardize the source archives. As you see, for now it's a pita to correctly display this in the AUR web interface and also for other scripts to parse this. --
