Did it work or what? I'm confused

Ok attempted to make a package because after I requested it in the request forum I decided to put my lazy self to work.  I am trying to build a package for ipkungfu found at http://www.linuxkungfu.org/
I edited the PKGBUILD to look like this

pkgname=ipkungfu
pkgver=0.5.2
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="IPKungFu is an iptables-based Linux firewall. It aims to
simplify the configuration of Internet connection sharing, port
forwarding, and packet filtering."
url="http://www.linuxkungfu.org/"
depends=()
makedepends=()
conflicts=()
replaces=()
backup=()
install=
source=(http://www.linuxkungfu.org/ipkungfu/$pkgname-$pkgver.tgz)
md5sums=(080566f8c494b389cdb2813268d30819)

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  tar -xzf $pkgname-$pkgver
  sh install
}

and then ran makepkg which returned this...

ipkungfu comes with an installer hence the extra information when it's run.  It seems to have worked... but I am unsure.  Feedback please?

Re: Did it work or what? I'm confused

no, it did not ... it tried to install itself to the system directly and your package is empty

you need to patch/manipulate (e.g. with sed) the "install" script or write your own (inside the build(){} )

dont have time today ... maybe i will have a look in 2 days (tomorrow important exams at the uni :-) )

Re: Did it work or what? I'm confused

Well : first problem in your PKGBUILD :

tar -xzf $pkgname-$pkgver

There is no need to do that : makepkg does it and there is no .tgz extension. More : you try to uncompress $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver/$pkgname-$pkgver whereas the source file is downloaded under $startdir/src

Then, I looked at the install file, it is not possible to make a PKGBUILD file whith the way the source file is done. What makepkg does is install files in $startdir/pkg/usr in order to know what files are installed. The install script of ipkungfu just install everything without prompting where or why.

You'll have to make a new install script..
