Thanks, I do provides=('perl-audio-nama') for both nama and nama-git.

It seems that "cpan2aur" found the non-perl "ecasound" dependency properly so you should not need to use a PKGBUILD template. I don't see anything sloppy about it. :)

The sloppy part was at least not putting any packager/maintainer info into it, but it wasn't me, cpan2aur did the job :P

> Now that you have used cpan2aur to generate the perl-audio-ecasound package I hope you can use "cpan2aur" to automatically --check for new releases from CPAN and update the AUR accordingly because that was my reason for creating cpan2aur. If you are comfortable with this you may try the same with the nama package as I mentioned earlier.

I just tried that:

~/build/mine/perl-audio-ecasound $ cpan2aur --check .
==> Checking if . is up to date...
  -> Looking up module for Audio-Ecasound on CPAN...
[MSG] No '/home/murks/.cpanplus/custom-sources' dir, skipping custom sources
[MSG] No '/home/murks/.cpanplus/custom-sources' dir, skipping custom sources

==> Uploading ./perl-audio-ecasound-0.93-1.src.tar.gz to the AUR...
    Username: hollunder
    Password: 
  -> Sending package as hollunder...
    Success.

I'm not sure what it did there, whether it updated or not (it did upload something, so I guess it updated?

Don't worry, I'm late too ;)
Thanks for advice.
