do you have a PKGBUILD in mind that does a symlink ? I'm looking for the "right" way to do it.
please refrain from top posting, as there is a bottom post policy here.
first package i encountered is extra/nvidia-utils [0] (PKGBUILD can be retrieved via abs [1]) there you find
install -D -m644 LICENSE "${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/nvidia/LICENSE" ln -s nvidia "${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/nvidia-utils"
the same is done for a lot of lib32-packages in multilib. even if you still get a warning from namcap, this looks like a nice, clean and commonly accepted solution to me. georg
[0] https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/nvidia-utils/ [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Abs
In that case, maybe it should be taken into account by namcap. And added to the packaging guidelines. :)
