Re: [aur-general] Is it OK to provide the binary inside the PKGBUILD?

Definitely not kosher, especially with everything in base64 (pkgbuild is basically obfuscated). Providing binaries is a pretty big no-no in general with few exceptions anyway. J. Leclanche On Wed, Dec 4, 2013 at 8:54 AM, Karol Blazewicz <karol.blazewicz@gmail.com> wrote:

package() {

<code goes here>

ENDEVOMGELAENDE chmod 755 mp4join install -D -m755 ./mp4join "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/mp4join" }

Is it kosher?
