calibre-installer: - nothing i would call common to enable and start units or timers on install
I think I've had this discussion with someone else before, but my reasons basically boil down to 1) the timer is the main purpose of the package 2) I don't use this myself, I wrote it primarily for users of "stable" distros and was in fact mildly surprised when someone asked me to make an AUR package but whatever. I guess people who are actually likely to use a wrapper for auto-updating an upstream binary will want this. 3) it's not as uncommon as you think, a quick grep through /var/lib/pacman/local/*/install tells me that both pulseaudio and xdg-user-dirs do the same (presumably because the maintainer decided there was sufficient justification).
fanficfare: - there is an update for 2.20.0
Yes -- on Thursday! I'm catching up to that now, thanks for noticing.
kindletool: kindletool-git: - its GPL3 license, GPL points to GPL2
Thanks, I probably forgot to check which the default GPL license was when I wrote these, and who really re-checks licenses that basically look okay unless they have some especially motivating reason. :D
git-extras: git-extras-git: - can't hurt to list some dependencies it uses like gawk etc, makes it work better on install in minimal environments like baremetal containers. at least i would :P
base + mkinitcpio means gawk will always be available, I am loath to add fundamental shell utilities until and unless we develop a cohesive policy about what base means and whether it should be base-system. Yes, I am one of those people who ascribe to the philosophy of an implicit base group. ;)
kindleunpack: - GPLv3 is not a valid common license, should be GPL3 - package() could get a --skip-build
Huh... haven't looked at that PKGBUILD in a *while*. Those are both good points. Especially as I typically urge others towards --skip-build myself :D
PS: i *really* hate variables in url= just annoyance -.-*
I guess you've been looking at my vim plugin packages. :D
PPS: good luck
Thanks! -- Eli Schwartz
