[aur-general] How to contribute to AUR?

[Ralf Mardorf]

Hi :)

I'm new to this list. I'm uncertain, but perhaps I'll maintain audio
packages, however, I've to learn how to do it, so I started with a test
PKGBUILD for a non-audio app I wanted to test.

IIUC what's written at
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Packaging_Standards the below
example needs just the following changes to become a valid PKGBUILD:

- I need to remove the # text lines, or should add useful text
- remove # Contributor and add # Maintainer with my real name
- should add an URL
- if it shouldn't build from git/svn... I need to add a checksum

*?*

Regards,
Ralf
