[aur-general] weidu-bin adoption request
Hi all, Apologies in advance if I'm skipping some steps in this process, or if this is not the correct place to make this request. Hopefully that is not the case. Anyway, I would like to adopt this package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/weidu-bin/ I created a new PKGBUILD, checked with namcap, then generated and installed the package (I'm using it successfully). I attach it for review. FYI, I had to had the !strip option as without it the executables become unusable. Weidu is going to probably see a few more releases, thanks to the EE versions of BG1 and BG2. I use it, so I can keep it updated. Let me know if I missed something. Thanks, Fabio ps: the downloaded zip contains a COPYING file, that is a GPL2 license. Therefore I used GPL2 in the license array instead of installing that file. Is this correct?

Did you contact with its current maintainer via e-mail? Usually you must contact him first and wait for a reply 2 weeks [1]. Then if he doesn't reply you may send a new email with disown request to the mailing list. And you don't need copy the license file from the source package for GPLv2 [2]. Also, please, use double quotes for $pkgdir and $srcdir variables.

Thanks Evgeniy, The maintener has replied and accepted my "adoption". I also applied the correction you suggested. Glad to have contributed a little to the community :) Fabio
