You shouldn't write to ~: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … _standards use a message in the .install instead

The (seemingly undocumented) convention is that this would be "pkgname=feednix-git". A PKGBUILD with "pkgname=feednix" would use your latest release and a file hash for the more security/stability minded.

'gcc' should not be in the makedeps. It's part of base-devel and assumed to be installed at build time.
arch=('any') means there is no architecture specific binaries in the final package (just scripts, data, etc). Is that the case?
|| return 1 is not needed. makepkg will fail on any errors.
Please use quotes around any paths containing variables, such as ${pkgdir}/usr/bin/feednix

As for the config file in the home dir, ideally, the program itself will check if that file exists and put it there on first run if it doesn't. Barring that, you may just have to put instructions in the install script for people to do it manually.

I'm unsure what it does (since you install things manually anyway), but 'make install' should be in the package() function. Ideally you should be 'make install'ing into $pkgdir, but again, this depends on your makefile.

'make clean' at the end of the package function is also not needed. makepkg will create a clean build environment every time you run it (unless you tell it not to).

There's one comment/question that you seem to have missed:

arch=('any') means there is no architecture specific binaries in the final package (just scripts, data, etc). Is that the case?
