Hello!
Like the subject says, I am going to submit my first AUR package dvtm-git [1]. But before I do that I would like to get some questions answered.
Questions: Although dvtm [2] in AUR has the description "Dynamic virtual terminal manager", I have chosen "Tiling window management for the console" as the description of my package. My reason for choosing this description is that _I think_ it is more descriptive than just giving the meaning of the abbreviation "dvtm" (like the dvtm package does).
* Should I go with my own description of the package or use the same description as the dvtm package? (Maybe add some information to inform that the source is a Git repository?)
- your description is just fine, it is indeed more descriptive - the git part should already be obvious from package name
* What other improvements should or can I do to the package?
Looks perfect to me after just reading it. Maybe I wouldn't have used a scriptlet just to display this : echo "The configuration of dvtm is done by creating a custom" echo "config.h and (re)compiling the source code." I guess I would just put a comment in the pkgbuild. But it's up to you, there is not only one way to do things :) And another personal opinion : I find packages cumbersome when I have to change source code a lot :) But in that case, once you achieved a decent config, it's alright.
