Atleast libav-git works well and doesn't break a single package I have in my systems and I don't think ffmpeg-git does eather. Same goes for the other git stuff too. I ofcourse cannot say for 100% if the packages, but none of the ones I have installed do not mind having -git version of those libs. And I do have fairly recentish builds of them.

Looking at the .deb file all you need to do us copy the ././usr/share
direcotry to "${pkgdir}/usr/share" and the ././usr/local/bin to
"${pkgdir}/usr/bin" and then run sed 's|/usr/local|/usr|' on all of the
text files, to make sure we run stuff from the correct place. Looking at
the debian control file you need libnotify-bin, gtkdialog, wget, lynx
and zenity as depencys. Hope this hels you a bit. It is always usefull
to know how to write simple PKGBUILD, that is why I wrote this instead
of a PKGBUILD. Try now and see if you can do it. You can post the
PKGBUILD here before uploading to see if anyone has any ideas on how to
make it better, or fix any erros you might make ^_^

You can just omit the install variable, you don't need instal file for
this package so no need for the install= variable ether.
> source=($pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
This is plain wrong. This tells makepkg to include the source-files of
the application in the ArchLinux PKGBUILD source-package. This is wrong.
Instead you should provide full URL to the download file online.
So it should be
source=(http://${pkgabme}.googlecode.com/files/${pkgname}_
${_rawversion}_all.deb)
build() function is met only for the command needed to compile the
sourcecode into binary executable. Usually this includes commands
./configure --prefix=/usr
and
make
for c and c++ aplications.
package() funcktion in the other hand is used to copy the files into
their rightfull place, if the application comes with Makefile you use
command 'make DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install' for this
> cd "$srcdir/$pkgname_$pkgver/usr/local/bin"
> chmod +x 4chan
..
> cp zerochan /usr/local/bin/zerochan
All that could be simplified into
---
1. cd "${srcdir}"
2. tar xf data.tar.gz
3. mkdir -p "${pkgdir}/usr/"
4. cp -r "${srcdir}/./usr/local/bin" "${pkgdir}/usr/bin"
5. cp -r "${srcdir}/./usr/share" "${pkgdir}/usr/share"
6.
7. chmod +x "${pkgdir}/usr/bin"/*
8. sed 's|usr/local|usr|' -i "${pkgdir}/usr/bin"/*
9. sed 's|usr/local|usr|' -i
"${pkgdir}/usr/share/applications/LDM.desktop"
---
Explanation:
1. cd into the directory where our extracted deb file is
2. extrackt the data file part of the deb archive
3. Make the directory /usr in directory ${pkgdir}
${pkgdir}== /the/directory/where/your/PKGBUILD_file_is/pkg
4. copy the bin directory to ${pkgdir}/usr/bin, this is important part.
You MUST never copy anyfiles to /usr or anytoher direcoty, without
putting ${pkgdir} in front of it. Othervice makepkg will try to copy
that file directly to the system, instead of putting it in a pacman
installable file. The -r after cp tell cp to copy the whole directory
5. Do the same for the share directory. Also notice that in line 4 we
copy the file to /usr/bin and not /usr/local/bin. This is becouse we
don't use the /usr/local directory in ArchLinux and so everythin
should go to /usr.
6. Just some randon empty line to make reading easyer. One between lines
1 and 2 would be nice too. Does not serve any bigger purpose.
7. Make sure every file in directory "${pkgdir}/usr/bin" is executable.
8. Make sure that we don't refer to the old ubuntu stule /usr/local/
directory anywhere, but instead use the Arch style /usr only.
9. Fix the desktop file to point into /usr instead of /usr/local
I think this should make everything clear :D (You still have to fix any
errors I might have made)
Also like Chris Shakalis said you could use the install command instead
of cp and chmod, but cp and chmod work as well too.

Well these should go to the install file. Create a file called
ldm.install and set install=ldm.install in the PKGBUILD. Take a lookt at
file /usr/share/pacman/proto.install, you should only needd the
post_install function and put those echos in there :D
PKGBUILD is used to build a pkgname-version-pkgrel.pkg.tar.xz package
that you install with pacman. Pacman then reads the .install file from
that package and does what it tells it to do and copies the files to the
system. Most people are lilely to just install this from the AUR, so
they would see that message. But in case say someone sends the redy
built pacman package to a frind the friend would not saee that message,
but if it is in install file he will.
You are also missing the md5sums variable from the package. Run
makepkg -g in the directoey where the PKGBUILD is and copy the output
into the PKGBUILD.
(I myself have an alias setup fot that. "makesum='makepkg -g >>
PKGBUILD'" this gives me a command makesum that automatically appends
the md5sums to the end of the PKGBUILD)
Sed can do a lot of things. Basicly it reads text, does something to it
and slips the mangled text out. 's|original|new|' for example would
replaces every single word original with the word new.
I think you should read these:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pkgbuild
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR
And here is a werty comprehensive guide to sed.

I myself can only use the replace command 's' XD

pkgrel is kidn of like == the version of the PKGBUILD. You change it
when you change something in the PKGBUILD, like adding some patch or

released by the application maker you revert it back to 1.

Glad to be help. ^_^ Here have a *cookie* you've done great.
A small note about mails... as Chris alredy mentioned. Your mails work
well in gmail it seems. Atleast my Android phones regular gmail app
puts all of these under same thread, but my dekstop mail client gets
them as individual mails, breaking the thread, while not being seroius.
Something is wrong with our way of replying or gmail settings I think.
Also about quoting. Like Chris said most mail clients can hide the
quoted message without any problems but it stoll nice to just cut
the parts you need and write that few lines of text under them. Like I
do, I think this is the way found to be good commonly (Might be
mistaken).

none of those are arrays, so remove (). They might confuse makepkg,

Not sure, but having md5sums before source could be a culprit, anyway I
would put them after the sources.
optdepends usually has format

tar xf $pkgname-$pkgver-$pkgrel-$arch.pkg.tar.xz
is not needed, pacman can extract pretty much all kind of achives on its
own .tar.{gz,bz2,xz} deb rpm zip, files atleast. The tar xf command was

One usually should not upload a binary packages into AUR, but instead it

have to rebuuild it from source just to be able to compile a 100kb addon
for it to support Finnish spellcheckking (voikko) so I also made -bin
version from Ubuntu binary packages.
I'm quite sure one should go totally with the parabola Linux instead of
Arch if libre is thing they want. We have a lots of stuff that go
against libre in the core repos, and just gettinga libre browser is
totally ridicilous. You also are missing the i686 version.
If you really think a libre webrowser on non libre system is a good idea
you should be simply stealing the PKGBUILD from here

better name and maintainer.
[6]bookreader: website is empty, source not working, orphan, low vote
count.
[7]battery_time_remaining: old fork of the offical applet, which
privides the same functionlaity.
[8]bible-runner: orhan, low vote count, dead for over 2½ years. PKGBUILD
does no't build in it's current state (Might be just depends clean up,
but due to the low vote count I dont see this happening)
[9]boombox: orpahn, marked out-of-date since aprill 2011, several
comments since then, but no adoption has happened. Altaought, I didn't
find the version 0.4 from sf.net

[18]kcheckgmail-git: Some old mailchecker applet, never applets exist.
Chromium claims the projects sf page is infected with viruses.

Re: [aur-general] ChangeLog vs .ChangeLog
pe, 2012-06-15 kello 23:14 +0100, Mateusz Loskot kirjoitti: > I've just realised, this file is named .PKGINFO whereas all packages > use PKGBUILD. PKGBUILD is the file that makepkg reads and builds the package according to it. .PKGINFO file is generated by makepkg command and it contains list of files inside the package, it's size, name, version all that information. The .PKGINFO file is included inside the pkgname-pkgver-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz file and you should never modify it manually. .INSTALL is general name for the install file used in some packages. Basicly makepkg just copies the file specified in install= variable to the package along with the .PKGINFO file. Then about the .ChangeLog file. I am not 100% sure, but if I have not undestood everything incorrectly .ChangeLog file is the file specified in changelog= variable inside PKGBUILD and copied into the generated package by makepkg, just like .INSTALL file. This file should contain the changes made into the PKGBUILD and description on how they affect the application. ChangeLog without . in it is just the regular upstream Changelog file, that is then copyed into some dir in the package my make install or some cp/install command. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Re: [aur-general] [RFC] New package: proj-svn
As the software is Licensed under MIT license you do not have to copy
the COPYING file into the package. You only need to copy the COPYING
file if you set license=('custom: foobar'), but if the license is one of
the licenses included in [core]/licenses (is even in base group) package
license=('license_name') is enought. (GPL1/2/3, MIT, APACHE)

Please orphan Dragonlord's packages [1]wfmath and [2]mercator, They have been out-of-date for quite a sometime alredy.

Re: [aur-general] PKGBUILD for talking-clock
You can remove the two lines
|source=(https://github.com/stormdragon2976/talking-clock)
|md5sums=('81c45b81f4ce5617a79005e9370a2845')
Git packages do not need those lines, unless there is some "static"
content in the package. For example a systemd unit file.
Also all git packages should have -git prefix in their names, unless it
is 100% sure there will never ever be a "stable" branch or tarball.
Also any package that doesn't provide any binary files. Python, perl,
bash, java, ruby etc apps should use 'any' as the arch instead of
'x86_64' and 'i686') Same for packages that only contain nonexecutble
data, like fonts or icon sets.
Consider adding the version number to the license field like 'GPL3' or
'GPL2'.
provides=() is used only when another package with same binary/data
exist under differend name. For example package 'libass-git' has line
provides=('libass') becouse it contains the same library as the libass
package. Also used when one package provides differend implementation of
the same command/app, but both can be installled at the same time. For
example openjdk7 and jre packages both provide the 'java-envirointment'
virtual package, needed to run java apps.
conflicts=() same thing as above, but this means that the package has a
file in same location in the same path. For example libass-gi has file
named /usr/lib/libass.soand libass package has file with same name
in same path. So they conflict with eachothers and cannot be installed
at the same time.
replace=() is used when a package with completely differend name
replaces some other older app. You shouldn't really need this one in
basic PKGBUILDs.
So this comes down to meaning you can get rid of those 3 lines on your
PKGBUILD
Also instead of
| msg "Installing..."
you would be better of with message like this
| msg "Starting to build the package..."
Also in the build() function only command needed to prepare the source
code for compilation (c->binary, py-> pyc, class -> .jar) an the actual
command needed to build/compile the source are allowed.
Then you need another function named package(), in this function one
puts in the commands that copy the compiled binary + data files to the
${pkgdir} directory. (make install, cp a b, mv, install)
You also should enclose every instance of ${srcdir} and ${pkgdir} in
"-marks. I am referring to the install lines.
You may also want to install namcap it can check your PKGBUILDS and
packages for possible errors.

Re: [aur-general] PKGBUILD for talking-clock
I think the name could have that -git into it. Like most git packages do. Also instaed of https:// or http:// git urls should use git:// if avaiable and girhub provides that so use it instead. Also in the package() function you need to cd into the apps sourcedirectory Also add the ""'s to the install commands. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

The build system is based on quite old upstream versions and needs pathing and use of older gcc. Even after that there are several linker errors that are being generated, probably due to too new version of package X.
Re: [aur-general] Discussion about roblox package
If they are maintained they don't hurt anyone. It is nice to have pacman keep track of all the stuff that goes outside /home or generated on runtime.

You should post this as a comment on the google-earth AUR pkg site insted of sending it here. It will probably go unnoticed.
