Why would you need to turn anything into `.tar.gz`? Are you thinking about a
package? `makepkg` does that for you.

Reading the PKGBUILD it seems like you haven't read all the relevant package
guideline pages we provide.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Go_package_guidelines

The license needs to be installed in `package()`.

This isn't an "any" package as it contains compiled code. `x86_64` should be
enough

Usually you want to build towards `go-pie` to provide PIE enabled binaries. But
since it's an AUR package this isn't super important.

You want "git+https://github.com.;

You need to cd into the complete gopath of the source.

Read any normal PKGBUILD from our repository or guidelines. It should be fairly
obvious.

You can also look at examples by taking a look at the PKGBUILDs from other
go projects. Click on the ones listing `go-pie` as a "(make)" dependency.

[aur-general] Packaging a go application

[Rhys Perry via aur-general]

Hi, I am currently trying to package an application for use in the aur. The 
problem I am having is the install() section. The only thing i need to be done 
is for the package to move '$srcdir/$_gitname/fathom' into '/bin/'. How would I 
turn that into a .tar.gz?

Sorry if my question doesn't make sense, but here is my current PKGBUILD (it is 
not finished as I can't seem to get git to provide a version)
### PKGBUILD STARTS HERE ###
pkgname="fathom-git"
pkgrel=1
pkgver="i.dont.know.what.to.put.here"
pkgdesc="Fathom - simple website analytics (Community Edition)"
url="https://github.com/usefathom/fathom;
license=("MIT")
arch=("any")
provides=("fathom")
conflicts=("fathom")

makedepends=("git" "go" "npm")
source=("git://github.com/usefathom/fathom.git")
md5sums=("SKIP")
_gitname="fathom"

prepare(){
mkdir -p gopath/src/github.com/usefathom
ln -rTsf $_gitname gopath/src/github.com/usefathom/fathom
export GOPATH="$srcdir"/gopath
}

build(){
export GOPATH="$srcdir"/gopath
cd $srcdir/$_gitname
make build
}

package(){
echo "I don't know what to do now"
}
### PKGBUILD ENDS HERE ##

Also, if you have any problems with other things in the PKGBUILD then please 
feel free to give me tips on better ways to do them.
Yours sincerely,
Rhys Perry
