- I am aware that the .install file does not need to be on the sources. But If I am not mistaken, if it is not on the sources array, it also does not have it's checksum validated. Since most of those .install files run code, I have always put them on the sources array. I am open to suggestions though.
Well I don't see reason to have a checksum for that one, its contained within the source (PKGBUILD) and not downloaded from a remote. It either comes through git or via a pkg-src tarball. The PKGBUILD itself (that contains that checksum) comes through the very same way and also runs code itself.
- I was in doubt regarding the user deletion. In this specific instance that dir is the user home dir. I don't think it does create any files there though. Do you have any recommendation on how to tackle this one? I don't want to leave just an empty dir as leftover of the package uninstall.
I would say: just leave it around. In fact we had a big TODO list [0] cleaning up all the userdel from all packages in the whole repos (not the AUR). It doesn't hurt much and in fact if it ever creates some files (now or in the future) you definitively don't want to wipe them and definitively don't want to delete the user-name associated with the UID of those files.
ucspi-tcp: - I took over that package on the migration of the AUR3 to the AUR4 and, since there weren't new releases of that software since then, I didn't pay much attention to it. Will apply the suggestions.
cool. that's especially important to get some attention onto it when you consider moving such to the repo ;)
I plan to do these corrections as soon as possible (possibly still today, tomorrow at max).
That's great to hear *thumbs*
Thanks for the input
you're welcome! I always try to be as helpful as possible. cheers, Levente [0] https://www.archlinux.org/todo/usergroup-management/
