Apart from the mandatory .PKGINFO file
I've just realised, this file is named .PKGINFO whereas all packages use PKGBUILD. Hmm, what am I missing here?
PKGBUILD is the file used by makepkg to build a package. .PKGINFO is generated by makepkg and is used by pacman when installing the package.
Alan (and Dave too), Thanks too, I finally realised I misinterpreted the wiki article. My bad indeed.
If a file is specified in install= or changelog= they are copied into the package as .INTSALL and .CHANGELOG. The source files for these can be named whatever the packager feels like.
It makes perfect sense to me now. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
