I think I should leave computers and any machine with a keyboard alone

Hi Lukáš,
nice to see someone from the Czech Republic aplying for a TU!
Since so many people asking for discussion and none has been done yet,
here a short output from namcap for your AUR packages. All simple fixes,
I always liked your PKGBUILDs, so I didn't expect any bigger problems.

PKGBUILD (aacplus) W: Description should not contain the package name.
PKGBUILD (cdrtools) W: Description should not contain the package name.
PKGBUILD (gimp-plugin-texturize) E: Use $srcdir instead of $startdir/src
PKGBUILD (gimp-plugin-texturize) E: Use $pkgdir instead of $startdir/pkg
PKGBUILD (metisse-cvs) E: Use $srcdir instead of $startdir/src
PKGBUILD (metisse-cvs) E: Use $pkgdir instead of $startdir/pkg
PKGBUILD (nucleo-cvs) E: Use $srcdir instead of $startdir/src
PKGBUILD (nucleo-cvs) E: Use $pkgdir instead of $startdir/pkg
PKGBUILD (ocropus) E: Not enough md5sums: 2 needed
PKGBUILD (ossec-agent) E: File referenced in $startdir
PKGBUILD (ossec-local) E: File referenced in $startdir
PKGBUILD (ossec-server) E: File referenced in $startdir
PKGBUILD (targetware) E: Use $srcdir instead of $startdir/src
PKGBUILD (targetware) E: Use $pkgdir instead of $startdir/pkg

In your application, you didn't mention your age. So may I ask how old are you?
Good luck!

Cheers,
Jaroslav

Hi Florian!
running namcap on your AUR packages gives this output:

PKGBUILD (blazeblogger-git) E: Use $pkgdir instead of $startdir/pkg
PKGBUILD (extract) W: Description should not contain the package name.
PKGBUILD (glark) W: Description should not contain the package name.
PKGBUILD (mbuffer) E: Use $srcdir instead of $startdir/src
PKGBUILD (mbuffer) E: Use $pkgdir instead of $startdir/pkg
PKGBUILD (perl-mail-checkuser) W: Missing Maintainer tag
PKGBUILD (portbunny) E: Use $pkgdir instead of $startdir/pkg
PKGBUILD (spampd) E: File referenced in $startdir

Besides that, I feel informed enough about you.
Good luck!
Jaroslav

"extract" is used in a different context

This package doesn't build anymore with recent kernels (and breaks with
nearly every update), but I'll fix that if upstream decides to work on
it again.

I use startdir here to generate a ChangeLog. If there is a better way
I'd like to know.

Or should I just forget that as nearly nobody else uses them?

Thanks for your feedback.

Oh, fast response!
The generated ChangeLog is not included in the package, so why bothering with generating
it to the startdir anyway? Either put it in a directory like /usr/share/doc/spampd/ or
delete the whole line.

Thanks for posting the error list here. I didn't know about the
$startdir issues, because I did some sed magic when $pkgdir and
$srcdir were introduced locally to replace them and it seems I didn't
have to update these packages since that time. I'll fix that ASAP.

As for the ossec-* packages it's intentional. I expect the user
changes the configuration file which is a part of the package. I don't
want to bother users with need to change the checksums array every
time they change some of the settings and I didn't find any other
option how to exclude the file from checksums check.

Sure you can ask. I'm 21.

Have a nice day,

Okay reread the manpage and noticed I forgot to set the changelog
variable. Removed it for now.

I guess these can be safely removed. They must have shut down the
repository earlier this year (IIRC I built nucleo-cvs and metisse-cvs
in January or so). I can't contact the server anymore. It's a pity,
because it was really interesting project.

> PKGBUILD (ocropus) E: Not enough md5sums: 2 needed
I know about this one and I admit that it's my fault. The package
didn't work correctly neither with tesseract from [community] nor with
tesseract-svn from AUR (it's mentioned in comments). Currently I'm
waiting for a new version with which I'll fix all the mentioned
problems. There is version 4.3 tagged in repository but it wasn't
released as a source tarball. I'm thinking of trying this version
instead

I have problems running it because there is no package arts anymore. I
guess it can be safely removed too. Moreover nobody use it (only 3
votes and nobody complained about missing arts).

The changelog variable is meant to be used for a ChangeLog listing
changes made to the PKGBUILD and other build files, not the upstream
ChangeLog. If you want the upstream ChangeLog to be installed, IMO it
would be better to put it in /usr/share/doc/spampd/
