OK, fair enough.
It is intentionally designed to install a prebuilt binary to speed up installation. If someone prefers building from source, they can get the source from GitHub and build it themselves. I also plan to publish a -git AUR variant, similar to what’s done for hyprproxlock. The binary is built using a GitHub Actions workflow.
Binary packages are allowed, however my point was that according to the guidelines, these should have a `-bin` suffix, and if not, then should build from sources. This package (and the others I pointed out) lack this suffix, so it should build from sources.
The missing description was due to a prior workflow issue. In my opinion, most users check the project’s GitHub or website before installing from AUR, rather than relying solely on the PKGBUILD description. Everything is still in line with AUR rules.
It's still useful to read the description in the AUR page to have an idea of what the software does, and it's an easy fix though.
