I've made a Qt 5 port of qPutty (which is in turn a Qt 4 wrapper for

famous SSH/Telmet client). qPutty was in aur3 as orphan for some time and was dropped. One of the main goals was not only to port it to Qt 5, but also to be able to use recent putty versions which required lots of qPutty code to be modified. Actually I've already pushed this PKGBUILD to AUR since namcap is OK about it. The thing in question is fetching putty sources which are being used for building, but putty is not compiled as project itself. Please see PKGBUILD below and thanks in advance.

You should consider git submodules. It would make manually building your project from source easier, and make your pkgbuild look cleaner.

Why are the putty sources being downloaded during the prepare() function??? Please add putty to the sources array. makepkg handles source downloading before prepare() or any other function is called, and after that you should not be relying on an internet connection; additionally, repetitive and inconsistent logic for downloading VCS sources is exactly why makepkg gained support for specifying them in the sources array to begin with. See: USING VCS SOURCES ==> fragment in the PKGBUILD manpage, for how to specify a tag. As you are the package developer in addition to the maintainer, you might consider following Andrew Chen's advice and using a git submodule in your project -- if so, you will want to follow the following advice in the VCS Package Guidelines: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_package_guidelines#Git_Submodules -- Eli Schwartz
