Just as complement of what Eli said: > makedepends=('git')
If not fetching the source code via git (like to Eli suggested for notification-mount package), please remember to remove this setting from your PKGBUILD. > cd "$srcdir/$pkgname" || exit There is no need for verification like "|| exit" or "|| false" as error status are already identified and treat. Try adding a command to change to a nonexistent directory and see what makepkg returns. ;) Best Regards, Rafael Fontenelle
