[PKGBUILD] fwbuilder and libfwbuilder 3.0.3

Hello

I am new on Arch and I have created two PKGBUILD for fwbuilder, in fact the current version in the mirror is 3.0.2 but 3.0.3 has been released.

I inspired me from the last version PKGBUILD but I made some changes (dependences and make dependences).

Could you, please, take a look on it before I upload it to AUR ?

Thank you in advance.

Please read the AUR guidelines before submitting any packages to the AUR. As stated there, if a package exists in any of the official repos, you shouldn't submit it to the AUR.

It's nice that you want to contribute to Arch so early, but take your time and familiarize yourself with the tools and procedures first.

Re: [PKGBUILD] fwbuilder and libfwbuilder 3.0.3

No the packages I propose aren't in the repos...

My version is 3.0.3 and the version in the repos is 3.0.2

I think I understand what you meen... if I want to upload my packages in AUR I have to change their name.

But it's not a good solution...

So, to update a package in the extra repo I juste have to ask the maintainer of the package, is'n it ??

Just a change of the version number is not sufficient to have a package in the AUR. Everyone can use ABS to do a personal version bump, and that's the way these things should be handled. So only renaming the package would not be sufficient.

Preferred approach is to click the "Flag Package Out-of-Date" link at the top-right corner of the package's page. Developers will then get notified about its status and do their best to update it in a timely fashion. Furthermore, you could send an email to the maintainer listed near the top of the PKGBUILD, letting him know that a simple version bump works or maybe including an updated package if the update process is more complicated and needs modified dependencies, configure options, etc.
