[Solved] Develop AUR packages on another OS.

Hello.
Is there any way to such thing?
make.conf tricks or something else maybe compress files to a special format (I mean PKGBUILDS and install files)
Thanks

Can someone post your makepkg.conf?
But by OS I mean UNIX-based like *BSD

I'm not sure I follow.. PKGBUILDS and .install files are just bash scripts. There is no compression or anything done to them, all you need is a text editor.

Yes I know that but when I have two files:
PKGBUILD
package.install
And I want to make from them a .src.tar.gz file and upload it to AUR
And how to do that , I tried compress this 2 files to tar.gz and changing name to package.src.tar.gz but no succes

Source files are simply compressed tarballs.

basic procedure:
mkdir pkgname
cp PPKGBUILD *.install pkgname
bsdtar czf "pkgname-pkgversion.src.tar.gz" pkgname
rm -r pkgname

But makepkg additionally does several checks, so if it's possible to run makepkg (see makepkg's header for dependencies), you should prefer that.

makepkg also has a --source option that does this for you.
