[aur-general] makepkg and unzip

[stefan-husmann at t-online.de]

Hello,

some Java programs follow the windows install method "put everything
into a directory", and the "Everything" is shipped via zipfile. So
sometimes it is easier to unzip (or unbsdtar) the whole bunch to
$startdir/pkg/somewhere rather than to $startdir/src/somewhere.

example (not yet in AUR)

 install -d $pkgdir/usr/share/ || return 1
 cd $pkgdir/usr/share
 unzip -qou $srcdir/jose-144-linux.zip || return 1

 chmod 755 $pkgdir/usr/share/jose/jose.sh || return 1

}

Do you have an example, I am not sure how this could happen :)
Something like a zip archive inside the main source archive? Sounds
weird.
But well, I guess it makes sense to try using bsdtar first, since it is 
in core/base. bsdtar is included in libarchive package which is a dep of

pacman, so it will be installed on every system. Not unzip though.
