First PKGBUILD

Hey guys! I just submitted my first package to the aur.. just thought I'd get suggestions from fellow packagers on how I can better follow the standard guidelines and such (if I'm not). Thankies!

depends=(gcc-libs bash)
makedepends=(unzip)

I'd put single quotes around these. Also, no need for gcc-libs there. And is it really "bash" and not "sh" that is needed?

build() {
  install -dm755 $pkgdir/usr/share/doc/utserver
  install -dm755 $pkgdir/usr/share/utserver/{webui,downloads/in_progress,torrents,.tmp}  
}

Do not touch $pkgdir in the build() function.

  cd $startdir

You want to "cd $srcdir"

Everything used to be in the package() function but it complained about there being no build. Should it just be empty then?

and I got gcc-libs and bash from namcap..

It's in the bug tracker:

http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/19914

Put them all in the build function in the meantime.

No need to have unzip as a makedepend -- use bsdtar instead (which is included with libarchive).

so what the wiki says under noextract here is incorrect?

My mistake! Odd though, bsdtar can read a zip file (bsdtar tf ...) but it can't actually extract the contents.
