[aur-general] PKGBUILD: build() vs package() function

[Nicky726]

Hello,

hope I don't get this missplaced, as a quick search didn'd get me any results.

When I have a package, which does actually build nothing -- say wine_gecko (a 
file only needs to be placed to a correct directory) -- I should only have 
package() function in the PKGBUILD, is that a correct interpretation?

Now the makepkg is happy but the AUR complaints. I can workaround that with an 
empty build() function in that case the AUR is happy but the makepkg 
complains. So I just put in there a harmless echo and both are happy now. 
Actually my question is not that much about the correct workarounding, as it 
is about if I really get the meaning of the build() and package() functions 
correctly, that is for building build(), for installing package()?

Thanx,
Nicky.
