How about
replacing $pkgver with $ffver, and
pkgver=$(date +%Y%m%d)
ffver=4.0b4pre
Yes, I don't have think that we can add variable outside of the build function.
I have add this to my PKGBUILD :
fxver=4.0b4pre
pkgver="$fxver"_"$(date +%Y%m%d)"
pkgrel=1
This way we have the version and the date.
For aria2, I would not add this, because if I add aria, I must add curl and others. I would just keep the standard, and it's easy to change this. Sorry.
]]>It's impossible to add the date in pkgver. The pkgver are updated when the makepkg is run for CVS, it's not a part of PKGBUILD. I don't have find any way to change the pckgver during the build.

I will keep wget instead of aria2, because wget is a package from core and part of the standard base install. Using aria2 would add an necessary dependencies.

]]>I also recommend aria2c instead of wget as partially downloaded files can be resumed. I always edit the pkgbuild to use aria2c to download the tar.bz2 archive. My net connection drops sometimes and when I restart makepkg the partially downloaded file in ${srcdir} is resumed.
]]>I maintain the firefox-nightly PKGBUILD, and someone ask me to add "-N" or "-O ${FX_SRC}" argument to wget, so it just keep the latest tar.gz from mozilla.
I think it can be convenient to use "wget -N", but in an other way, it could be useful to keep the old files, in case of one update don't work/causes problem, and delete them manually when it's ok.
What do you think, firefox-nightly users, dev, TU ?
