Brand new here. I'm switching to Arch Linux as my primary OS. I use TVMobili<http://www.tvmobili.com/> for all my DLNA streaming needs and was surprised it wasn't in the AUR. So, here is my first PKGBUILD. I think I hit the appropriate standards, but please let me know if I missed anything. namcap doesn't through any errors and the PKGBUILD works from scratch on my pc. It requires 32 bit libs. I was hoping to get it reviewed and added to the AUR. I'm interested in maintaining it as well. The only thing I wouldn't mind getting working is having the program work under a user instead of having to SUDO it.

A couple of additional questions I didn't really find answers to. Is there any process of automatically updating PKGBUILDs? Do I just keep tabs on tvmobili updates and update the version number, link, and md5sum, test it, then post it back to the AUR?

I haven't checked the source archive in detail, but you don't need rpmextract. rpm archives are extracted automatically by makepkg. You then just need to copy the relevant files from $srcdir to $pkgdir. You should move the documentation in the directories $srcdir/etc/doc and $srcdir/etc/www to $pkgdir/usr/share/doc/tvmobili. And the binary should go to /usr/bin instead of /usr/local/bin. Heiko
