Hi list,
creating a PKGBUILD[1] for Traefik[2], a reverse proxy, I would like to have it reviewed, as this is the first package I do that is containing a service.
I tried following the Arch packaging standards[3] but am fairly sure I missed things.
Other than that it's a Golang project, so I just have a binary and some configuration files to package.
Thank you for your time. Stefan

The biggest problem is that is will fail on a lot of setups. You don't have the service, logrotate file, etc in the source array and assume that they're one dir up from $srcdir. This is wrong. Why do you have the LICENSE.md in both source_* arrays instead of the normal source array? You should also not be pulling that from master, as you don't know when that will change. It should be put in a subdir of $pkgname, not $_pkgname. chowning a managed dir in post_install is less than idea. You should be using a set UID/GID and chowing it in the package function. You should also not be deleting the user in post_remove. Hope this helps!
