Re: For AUR PKGBUILD checkup

[Frederick Zhang]

    pkgname=kate-wakatime-git
    pkgver=1.3.10

So is this a VCS package [1] or not?

    pkgdesc=" Kate plugin to interface with WakaTime"

Redundant space at the beginning.

    arch=('x86_64')

Does this build on other architectures?

    url="https://github.com/wakatime/$pkgname";

The URL here uses $pkgname, which has the -git suffix, so it's not a
valid URL.

Another thing is that although this is maintained by WakaTime
organisation in GitHub, it's behind [2] that it was forked from. Is
there any reason to not used [2] instead?

    license=('unknown')

From their source code: 'you can redistribute it and/or modify it under
the terms of the GNU Library General Public License version 3, or (at
your option) any later version'.

             -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE='None' \

Shouldn't this be Release or RelWithDebInfo? [3]

Hi there,

I'm writing to request that my PKGBUILD for /kate-wakatime/ be added to the 
Arch User Repository (AUR). I have tested the PKGBUILD and it works as 
expected. But I'm unsure about this script's formatting or other checkups. I'll 
really appreciate any advice.

Here's my PKGBUILD,

    source=("git+https://github.com/Tatsh/kate-wakatime

    md5sums=('SKIP')

    build() {
         cmake -B build -S "kate-wakatime" \
             -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE='None' \
             -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX='/usr' \
             -Wno-dev
         cmake --build build
    }

    check() {
         ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure
    }

    package() {
         DESTDIR="$pkgdir" cmake --install build
    }

Thank you for considering my request.
