Description

libre/blender is a split packages that also contains blender-addon-gimp and blender-addon-povray. blender-addon-gimp is interesting, as it overrides (or tries to override) the $arch variable to ('any').

it seems that libretools can't deal with that, failing to create a source package for blender-addon-gimp, and also failing to include it with librestage.

I'm probably going to split the addons into a separate package, following what arch is doing with their blender package, but still this is something that should probably be fixed ASAP.

I was going to say that changing arch=() in a split package isn't valid, but

  1. it should also have refused to make the binary package if the source package failed, regardless of the validity of the PKGBUILD
  2. PKGBUILD(5) says that arch=() may be overridden in package(); my original claim was wrong

this issue also affects xen-4.10, I can rebuild the split packages xen-syms and xen-docs, but there are no source packages created and librestage ignores them.

I'm not sure that dbscripts handles this properly either.

No packages in the Arch repos overrides arch=() for split packages. Perhaps we should just disallow it?
