PvPGN 199.r577

Hello everyone,

I've been using Linux and Arch for quite a while now and love it. I started contributing into the ArchWiki, and now I also want to start packaging some applications through the AUR.

This is my first PKGBUILD and after reading the "Arch Packaging Standards" and "Creating Packages", I want to get your advice and see if there is anything else I can improve or learn.

Here is my package build (make -j5 will be changed to make for everyone else).

Thank you.

Your package looks ok, but you don't follow the instructions for compiling PvPGN as described on the source website :

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: PvPGN 199.r577

I did actually, I downloaded the latest package which is the 199.r577 and read the README inside the package after extracting. It doesn't use configure but cmake.

EDIT:

So I researched it again and yes, 199.r577 doesn't use ./configure. It's a development snapshot and this I believe cmake is their new way of doing configuration. 1.8.5 which is the current stable uses ./configure.

Here is the PvPGN 1.8.5 stable PKGBUILD I submitted: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=46978
