Hi, I've been using Arch for a while and recently stumbled upon a program that isn't available in the AUR.
I took the opportunity to learn about creating packages so I could have it managed by pacman.
I am now considering maintaining it in the AUR. If someone has time, I would like to get some feedback for my PKGBUILD before I publish it.
Cheers, Bennett
You'll need to post a link, attachments are stripped from the mailing list.

I guess I should attach it :D

Hi I think you should use pkgver in source url. Also, why would you copy libs to opt? License is usually named just LICENSE Is that the third package release? Or first? Marcin Wieczorek niedziela, 12 czerwca 2016, 02:22PM +02:00 od Bennett Piater bennett@piater.name :

Thanks! I used $pkgver in the source url, renamed upstreams license.txt to LICENSE, and reset $pkgrel (It was my third local version).
I copy libs to opt because this is a java program that expects it's stuff to be in the same directory. Those libs are not shared anyways, they are specific to this program. Do you have a better idea? :)

I feel renaming files is counter to AL policy of keeping pacakges as close to upstream as possible. Also some licenses exrpesslly forbid changing filenames. please keep upstream names.

Check other java packages like freecol, they use /usr/share/java/$pkgname .

Thanks a lot, I changed both of that :)
