Hi,
Updated version of the PKGBUILD: http://pastebin.com/LRyYqpuZ
Whoops, I misread the PKGBUILD. Ignore my suggestion. No, you do not need to add zetacoin-qt-git.install to the `source` and `sha256sums` arrays.
Ok, nothing added then.
The `pkgver` you added is OK, but it could be better. The zetacoin git repository has tagged releases, and the wiki states: [1]
It is recommended to have following version format: *RELEASE.rREVISION*[...]
Here's a better command for generating a package version number:
git describe --long | sed -E 's/([^-]*-g)/r\1/;s/-/./g'
That command generates the following version number:
v0.8.2.r218.g5eed859
Added the new package version number. Althought it's a bit strange to see a package whose version starts with 'v'.
You're right, the v shouldn't be there, so strip it. Just add s/^v// to the sed command. The pkgver functions in the Wiki are just suggestions, they need customized for the individual repo you're using.
Consider adding `cd "$srcdir"` to the beginning of the `package()` function.
Please excuse my use of bastardized english. I could have worded my suggestion more clearly.
It was my fault, your english is good, it was just that I didn't understand what you meant me to add. (^_^)
The bitcoin docs discuss how to build bitcoin on unix. [2] (zetacoin is based on bitcoin, so the bitcoin docs should be relevant) They state:
miniupnpc may be used for UPnP port mapping. It can be downloaded from here. UPnP support is compiled in and turned off by default.
Also, namcap complains about the zetacoin-qt-git package if miniupnpc is not listed as a dependency:
zetacoin-qt-git E: Dependency miniupnpc detected and not included (libraries ['usr/lib/libminiupnpc.so.9'] needed in files ['usr/bin/zetacoin-qt'])
These two facts indicate that miniupnpc should be included as a dependency. I suggest adding a comment to the top of the PKGBUILD explaining why miniupnpc is included as a dependency.
Ok, readded it as a dependency and added the comment at the top.

Thanks for all the help! Bruno
