Hello folks!
I am a beginner in Arch packaging but I just came to a stable point writing
my small systemd journal analyzer and beeing a Arch user for some years now
I thought it would
be a good exercise for me to write a PKGBUILD for my program and try to
upload it to the AUR.
It is now online @ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qjournalctl/
I followed the wiki guidelines
@
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Submitting_packages
I read myself into the
@ https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_packaging_standards
and into
@ https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD
and I tried to follow all the suggestions there and I kept my PKGBUILD as
tiny
as possible.
I also runned namcap to check my PKGBUILD respectively the generated
package.
As I had some dependencies (namely qt5-base and gcc-multilibs) I listed
them in the PKGBUILD.
I tried to have a look at other PKGBUILDs as well and to compare it to mine
but I could not find something which would really differ from my first
trial.
Then I read I could ask here for suggestions and improvements.
Is there something I didn't do which is e.g. a good habit? Or did I
something that I shouldn't have done?
I hope some experienced AUR packagers / TUs can give me a few points I can
work on. Feel free to give me feedback on my program as well! ;)
Thank you very much!
Patrick
