- don't think pkgdesc should ever end with a dot
The descriptions are often sentences, so would it not reason to end them with a period?
In the case of actual sentences, it's just convention to be consistent with the packages whose descriptions are sentence fragments. It's a bit arbitrary, granted.
- not a big fan of fiddling with PKGEXT even if its "just the AUR" but well
For a package destined for the repositories I would not fiddle and endeavor to reverse such fiddling; however, the compression time for large games is enormous only to decompress right after. Should it, for the sake of correct-ness, be reversed even for the packages doomed forever to live in the AUR?
It's just not the prerogative of the AUR contributor to make that decision for the end-user who's going to be building the package. They can very easily configure their own makepkg.conf to use uncompressed tarballs if they so desire. Basically, a PKGBUILD shouldn't override makepkg.conf unless there's a very good reason.
