You create a PKGBUILD doing the necessary steps, if you need inspiration/help look at some of the existing PKGBUILDs in the AUR if you really "just" want to package a binary look at a few PKGBUILDs with the -bin suffix.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Creating_packages

Is this still about your own distribution? Which instructions did you follow to install Arch Linux?

What you're looking for is a PKGBUILD script.

Also please show your work.

Wait , makepkg -s will give me tar.zst . But still it is trusting another person. Is there any better way.

makepkg is not only used for the AUR.
It is part of pacman and used to build all the packages in the repos and the AUR.

What you are saying implies that you want to create your own (local) package.
In order to do that you have to write a correct PKGBUILD script. All 3 links prvided, are documentation/help for you to just do that.
makepkg will take your PKGBUILD and produce a "*tar.zst" that you can install as you would any regular package.

Only if you dont trust yourself.

I am curious (seriously and not trying to be snarky). Have you actually read an example PKGBUILD ? Because reading a PKGBUILD is the answer to both those questions.

I read every PKGBUILD I use before I use it, especially if I don't know the reputation of the author. As you say, otherwise you have to not only trust another person, but that it has not be tampered in the time between when someone wrote it and you obtained it.
In addition, reading a PKGBUILD is probably the best way to learn about them and how they are structured.

Ah.. got it..
Sorry of i did annoying someone
And thanks i understood .
I don't know why arch wiki is confusing for me. And there is no other websites all the time give me idea.(google/duckduckgo). Maybe for my bad English and arch wiki alaways try to give all the knowledge with short summary. Maybe i am not enough pro user to understand.
Thanks
Solved
