Not this garbage again. When will you understand that guidelines for PKGBUILD submission aren't based on the inabilities of even less supported AUR tools? > Either AUR finally gets official support for split packages or split > packages are avoided in AUR.

Why not find a way to support this as well? > The problem are not the split packages themselves, the problem is that > AUR can't handle them. The AUR handles them just fine. Just like last time you ranted about this, you're conflating two very separate problems.
