Hello,

You are not allowed to include binaries and the source of packages in tarballs uploaded to the AUR, this also includes bash scripts of only a few KBs, no?

Hi, In principle, the tarball should only contain a PKGBUILD and maybe a Pacman install file. In practice some additional files are overlooked such as .desktop files and very short launcher scripts, but even those are frowned upon. Users are encourage to submit additional files upstream. When upstream is unresponsive or hostile we recommend finding other online hosting. Regards, Xyne
