Is this standardised convention? Happy to switch mine to compiling from source if so.

tjbp [1] filed a deletion request for shashlik-bin [2]:

This package already exists under "shashlik". Could do with a shashlik-git package, however.

[1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/tjbp/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/shashlik-bin/ If we remove my -bin package, shashlik should be renamed since it is built from a binary package, and not source.

Thanks, Jameson.

Yes, general convention is that packages built from source use "pure" packagename . Any packages using binaries should have a -bin suffix.
