Lastly, what about splitting CLI only package from GUI? Can I make only one package or is it advisable to dp one package for each? This would result in the actual program (CLI) in one package and the GUI on top of it in a different package. It's more work to maintain 2 packages so is it necessary or advisable or can I stick to a single package?

Well, you can make a split package. This way you only have a PKGBUILD to maintain. AUR now supports them by default so I see no major issues here. The rule of thumb that I tend to apply now is: Write a single PKGBUILD per downloaded file. Make it a split package if necessary. -- Nuno Araujo <nuno.araujo@russo79.com> http://www.russo79.com
