[SOLVED] .SRCINFO file and multiarch PKGBUILD/package

Question

Is it a bad practice to have one PKGBUILD/package for x86 and x86_64 when they have not the same source?
Exemple:
# Maintainer: Tanguy ALEXIS <[email protected]>
# Contributer: Shaun Hammill <[email protected]>
# Contributer: Travis Lyons <[email protected]>
pkgname=magicassistant-gtk
pkgver=1.4.2.001
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Card Browser, Library Organizer, Deck Builder and Tournament Manager for Magic the Gathering Card Game"
arch=(i686 x86_64)
url="http://sourceforge.net/projects/mtgbrowser/"
license=('EPL')
depends=(gtk2 'java-runtime>=8' unzip libwebkit)
source=('source')
md5sums=('md5sums')
if test "$CARCH" == "x86_64"; then
source=(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mtgbrowser/Magic_Assistant/${pkgver}/magicassistant-${pkgver}-linux.gtk.x86_64.zip magicassistant.desktop)
md5sums=('ae780a748d2d245b2f3220694cec5986'
'37f143dbb28032d4fcc7a0a6e4e7f239')
fi
if test "$CARCH" == "i686"; then
source=(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mtgbrowser/Magic_Assistant/${pkgver}/magicassistant-${pkgver}-linux.gtk.x86.zip magicassistant.desktop)
md5sums=('cb0e8e8fb8bf3f37326432302954fecf'
'37f143dbb28032d4fcc7a0a6e4e7f239')
fi
package() {
msg "Installing..."
install -d "$pkgdir"/{/usr/bin,/opt,/usr/share/applications}
install -m644 $srcdir/magicassistant.desktop $pkgdir/usr/share/applications/magicassistant.desktop
mv $srcdir/MagicAssistant $pkgdir/opt
msg "Link to bin..."
ln -s /opt/MagicAssistant/magicassistant $pkgdir/usr/bin/magicassistant
msg2 "Done!"
This work but not with mksrcinfo even if I skip the integrity check, because it will check for a "source" file instead of the actual source.
So, is there any way to deal with this or I just have to split this in two package? Sorry if this has been answered before, can't find it.

Answer 1

Read 'man PKGBUILD', particularly the section about the source array and how you can specify architecture-specific sources. Look into the corresponding *sum arrays too. Lose the bash conditionals outside the build/package functions.
