Apologies for the noise. AUR does not reject my package now after first creating the directory name for the package I have. I do not ever remember needing to create a special directory before. So I simply did mkdir package-name and tar'd that up containing my source files.
You need to follow the format created by makepkg --source.
Yeah, this check was introduced in commit ec0dfc27 [1], so it probably should have occured with 1.8.0 as well. The weird thing is that he actually created a package with `makepkg --source` which was rejected as well. Shouldn't `makepkg --source` always tar(1) up the directory? I'd also like to say that I really appreciate everybody's help but if anyone would have glanced through the AUR package submission source code (and it literally takes 3 minutes) [2], you would have noticed that the contents of the PKGBUILD don't matter at all - the error occurs way before it is even extracted. Don't get me wrong, I know that you all just wanted to help and I don't want to accuse anyone, but this would have been solved way faster (wasting less of your time, also) if anybody would have checked that on a systematic basis instead of guessing repeatedly.
