help w/ a PKGBUILD
I'd like to make a PKGBUILD that will extract some ttf files from a package and copy them into the file system. The main instructions are listed at this webpage. Way back in 2005, dtw put a nice PKGBUILD together that does this which you can find at this url. I'd like to adapt it to work w/ the instructions on that webpage.The PKGBUILD needs to:
1) Download the self extracting archive
2) Process it extracting the ttf files out
3) Copy them
I'm unsure how to make the source be a non tar file that requires some processing. Help

Re: help w/ a PKGBUILD
I believe you just need to add the download location of the file to the source line, then run your extracting command in build(), targetted to $pkgdir.
