hmm how would it find the pkgbuilds? like theres some repos that have pkgbuilds in folders inside the git repo.

like this repo for example archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs

I mean ideally they'd be set up like ours and the AUR where the git repo has PKGBUILD at the root, but I suppose it could always just ask if it can't find one? (I think scanning would be a bad idea in the case like your link where there are multiple packages in one.)
