[REQUEST] Meow - GNOME menu manager

This request for review and upload the PKGBUILD of Meow, a new GNOME menu manager
I generated a pkg.tar.xz with debtap, installed and it works but how I'm new in Arch and don't even know how to submit packages to AUR and don't have the experience and time to mainten, I'm asking to someone to review (or maybe to make from zero) and upload to AUR.

Product page: http://pnmougel.github.io/meow/
GitHub: https://github.com/pnmougel/meow
The generated pkg.tar.xz with debstap: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0LPl … UtENEhqc2c

Re: [REQUEST] Meow - GNOME menu manager

Hi

believe me, I tried to package this app from the sources but it's a bloody hell of mess:
- a tons of useless data (64 MB of sources including packages for different distributions)
- a lot of dependencies downloaded by sbt during the build process (and not tracked from the build process)
- missing launchers from the sources
- wrong instructions on the website about the build process
- missing releases and tags from the sources

After that I was convinced to abandon the idea to build this ***** from sources and pick the binary package and repackage it again for Arch, here's the working PKGBUILD but I refuse to put this thing on the AUR.

If you love GNOME please don't use this thing, it's utterly broken, it makes the AppFolders by editing the .desktop files themselves, therefore cannot work without any existing system desktop file, it's deadly slow and buggy, it can also kill the GNOME shell by clicking the cat logo and steal the shell and restart it (rendering the application non closeable - and if you kill meow you will kill GNOME shell).

If you wanted to use Meow to create GNOME shell Applications Folders please use my GNOME AppFolders Manager.
