Hi there,

I'm writing to request that my PKGBUILD for kate-wakatime be added to the Arch User Repository (AUR). I have tested the PKGBUILD and it works as expected. But I'm unsure about this script's formatting or other checkups. I'll really appreciate any advice.

Here's my PKGBUILD,

# Maintainer: sharafat <sharafat two thousand four at gmail>

pkgname=kate-wakatime-git
pkgver=1.3.10
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc=" Kate plugin to interface with WakaTime"
arch=('x86_64')
url="https://github.com/wakatime/$pkgname"
license=('unknown')
makedepends=('git' 'cmake' 'extra-cmake-modules')
depends=('kate')
conflicts=('kate-wakatime')
source=("git+https://github.com/Tatsh/kate-wakatime")
md5sums=('SKIP')

build() {
    cmake -B build -S "kate-wakatime" \
        -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE='None' \
        -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX='/usr' \
        -Wno-dev
    cmake --build build
}

check() {
    ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure
}

package() {
    DESTDIR="$pkgdir" cmake --install build
}

There's a few problems in that PKGBUILD:
- The pkgname and the source array implies that this package is a GIT/VCS package. According to that, the PKGBUILD has to contain a dedicated "pkgver ()" function [2].
- The url variable is wrong --> https://github.com/wakatime/kate-wakatime-git is not a valid URL. You should use the one provided in the description of the package on the GitHub repo [3]
- The license used by the project seems to be GLP3 according to the source code [4]. Maybe they should make this more clear by specifying the license on the GitHub repo though.
