In this case, it also really needs updated to Pacman 4.1 format and a pkgver function added.https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_PKGBUILD_GuidelinesThere are some examples there of how to do a pkgver function, as well as information about just using git as a normal source, _gitroot and _gitname are no longer used.

Hi :)
I'm new to this list. I'm uncertain, but perhaps I'll maintain audio packages, however, I've to learn how to do it, so I started with a test PKGBUILD for a non-audio app I wanted to test.
IIUC what's written at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Packaging_Standards the below example needs just the following changes to become a valid PKGBUILD:
- I need to remove the # text lines, or should add useful text - remove # Contributor and add # Maintainer with my real name - should add an URL - if it shouldn't build from git/svn... I need to add a checksum
