[PKGBUILD] wordpress

Here is a wordpress PKBUILD:

# Mantainer: Christopher Rogers aka Godane <slaxemulator@gmail.com>

pkgname=wordpress
pkgver=2.6.3
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="WordPress is a state-of-the-art publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time."
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://www.wordpress.com/"
license=('GPL')
depends=('php')
backup=(srv/http/wordpress/.htaccess)
source=(http://wordpress.org/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('c3300c2b615861f3bfffdd9701e8dd97')

build() {
  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/srv/http/wordpress
  cp -r $startdir/src/$pkgname/* $startdir/pkg/srv/http/wordpress
  echo "deny from all" > $startdir/pkg/srv/http/wordpress/.htaccess
}

I also added in aur. The link is below:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21739

I based this pkgbuild on drupal. So if anyone can help me with this it will be appreciate.

Wow, not a wordpress user, but kind of surprised this wasn't already in the AUR, let alone community.

IMO there's not much point in packaging web applications.  They are prone to rapid change, are not binary in nature and the package itself is more or less just extracting a tarball/zip. To me it doesn't justify the time required to maintain the package in the repos.
