PKGBUILD: handle arch specific attributes
This introduces support for architecture-specific conflicts, depends, optdepends, makedepends, replaces, and conflicts by appending "_$CARCH" to the array name. For example, in the global section: arch=('i686' 'x86_64') depends=('foo') depends_x86_64=('bar') This will generate depends of 'foo' and 'bar' on x86_64, but only 'foo' on i686. Moreover, this is supported in the package functions with the same heuristics as the generic names, e.g. ... arch=('i686' 'x86_64') depends=('foo') ... package_somepkg() { depends_x86_64=('bar') ... } Again, will cause x86_64 to have depends of 'foo' and 'bar', but only 'foo' for i686.
