PKGBUILD for g-brief (LaTeX)

Hi guys!

As I got some time left the next few days, I decided to look over my (until now) private PKGBUILDS and make them accessible via AUR. This one is a PKGBUILD for g-brief, a German letter style for LaTeX.

First question: Should I name the package "g-brief", "texlive-g-brief" or something different?

Second question: Could you please have a look at the PKGBUILD and give me some hints/improvements before I do the first submission to AUR?

Cheers

Re: PKGBUILD for g-brief (LaTeX)

Hello,

first, please do not upload this package  to AUR. g-brief is included in texlife-latexextra. It is fine if you post it here.

LPPL is a common license, so you do not need to provide a license file. I think all letters should be uppercase.

To install to usr/local is okay for nonofficial and non-AUR-packages, otherwise it would be a mistake. Should be /usr/share/texmf then IMHO.

Keep up contributing!

Thanks! Its not necessary to make an extra package then.
