Hi,
I found out why the AUR bazel package didn't work for me: the problem was that ~/.bazelrc needs to point to %workspace%:/opt/bazel/base_workspace/ (as explained in the comments here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bazel/). So now everything works and the PKGBUILD is cleaner :). I'd put that echo-command in a .install-file , not in the build function. It's info that's needed at runtime, and putting it in the .install file will add it to pacman.log .
One more question: is there a recommended approach to automatically update the revision / commit number of the package? Or is it not necessary to update this? I've seen some packages that simply put a note to not flag the package as out of date.
Cheers, Pieter
