My first PKGBUILD (MultiGPG)

Hello everyone,

I wrote a little script and now I would like to submit it to the AUR. Since this is my first PKGBUILD I am posting here to ask if I did anything wrong.

You can check it out here:MultiGPG. The PKGBUILD is in the AUR directory.

Any comments?

Greetings,

EDIT: make sure to install the binary as executable, that is

install -Dm755 $pkgname "$pkgdir"/usr/bin

The man page of install said that this was the default value. Is this just good practice, or do I really need it?

Drop the -git from the pkgname, you're building specific tags, which should be static sources. -git would be used if you were pulling master, or an otherwise active branch. You should add the makedepends array and include 'git' in it, as it's needed to pull the source.

I uploaded it: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/multigpg/

In which category would I put it? Or where is overview where the categories are explained?
