Hi everyone,
I've just started writing some PKGBUILDs for some programs that are not
present neither in the official package repository nor in the AUR.
Specifically, I've packaged libdime [1] as a required dependency for the
X-Plane developer tools [2].
I'm attaching the PKGBUILD below - if someone on this list could review
it, that would be much appreciated. I've also got the following questions:
1) Is it correct to name the package "libdime-hg" only because its
sources are checked out from a Mercurial repository (that's because
no official tarballs exist any more - the Debian copyright file for
the library [3] points to a now dismissed FTP site [4]), or should I
just name it "libdime"?
2) On the same note, assuming that naming the package "libdime-hg" is
correct, does it make sense to put
provides=("${pkgname%-hg}")
conflicts=("${pkgname%-hg}")
in the PKGBUILD? I've thought to put these two lines as "safeguards"
in case I need to distinguish between a libdime VCS and non-VCS package
in the future.
Cheers and thanks in advance,
Alessandro Menti
