Need help PKGBUILD (fonts)

Hello there,

I want to publish a new font so I can learn about PKGBUILD and also use this new font !

Can someone tell me what is the utility of 'source=($pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)' ?

Is something wrong ?

PKGBUILD

# Maintainer: funilrys <funilrys@outlook.com>
pkgname=vampirekiss-fonts
pkgver=1.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="This is the Vampire Kiss font from Misti's Fonts (http://mistifonts.com/vampire-kiss/) "
arch=(any)
depends=(fontconfig xorg-font-utils)
source=($pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
install=$pkgname.install

package() {
  install -Dm644 $pkgname/vampirekiss.ttf "$pkgdir"/usr/share/fonts/vampire_kiss/vampirekiss.ttf
}

vampirekiss.install

post_install() {
  fc-cache -s
}
post_upgrade() {
  post_install
}
post_remove() {
  post_install
}

My last questions are about how does I have to organize my pakage folder ? Do I need to put an external 'source' or all will be right with git ?

Thanks in advance for your help !

Perhaps you should start with reading the Wiki documentation on PKGBUILDs.

Note also that sources can be a git/mercurial/subversion/cvs/bazaar repository as well: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VC … CS_sources
