I'm trying to create my absolute first BUILD file (only personal use) so expect me to be pretty much clueless and treat me like a five year old.
I'm trying to create a package to the following source code: https://github.com/bitcoinedu-io/bitcoinedu
First and foremost: Do I need any prerequisite skills in order to do this? I do not know much about bash scripting. I've got some python experience.
From what I've gathered, I need to, at least, specify five variables: pkgname, pkgver, pkgrel, arch, license.
I've figured out the pkgname and license variable but I've no clue where to find pkgver and pkgrel.
Also how do I know which architecture to specify?
If anyone could advice me on this, in the case of my example package, I would be grateful.

If you haven't yet read the wiki on the topic, check it out. The man page is a very nice source of info as well. You can also learn by example by inspecting the PKGBUILD file for your favorite piece of software. See: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/
After reviewing those resources, take a stab a writing one, and feel free to post it asking for review feedback.

PKGBUILD covers the variables.
