[arch-dev-public] Improving the package guidelines

[Morten Linderud]

Yo!

In April there was some discussion regarding how to properly do unit testing in
Python PKGBUILDs[1]. Felix had some amazing notes that was super useful. But as
pointed out we don't really strive to document these things[2]. To try help and
spark some interest in improving the current package guidelines, I have spent a
some time restructuring and rewriting parts of the Python and Golang package
guidelines. I'd appreciate reviews on them! 

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/User:Foxboron/Python_packaging_guidelines
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/User:Foxboron/Go_packaging_guidelines

It really doesn't take that much time to note down what you know about packaging
and what the current standards are. I think this helps both fellow maintainers
and AUR maintainers in writing better PKGBUILDs and sharing knowledge.

If people think editing wikis are annoying, maybe we could setup a github
repository with example PKGBUILDs we can work on?
