Hey Philip,

Sorry for the delay I have looked at your AUR PKGBUILD and it looks very well 
done. I can see you read the wiki page. Filling all those pkgdeps by hand is 
very impressive. I have some minor suggestions and a plug for a module I made 
that may help you.

One discrepancy I noticed is that I think perl-anyevent should be >= 5, meaning 
the package needs at least version 5. You might also consider having a provides 
line like: provides=('perl-audio-nama'). This is the more or less "standard" 
way of naming perl _module_ packages. Since your package provides both a module 
and application, naming it 'nama' isn't bad at all, but the provides would 
allow people to use the standard notation if they want to depend on the module. 
Not really important but just for covering your bases.

The plug is that I have made a module for generating Archlinux package for perl 
modules on the fly. It is not perfect though and sometimes you have to tweak 
the PKGBUILD. My module is called CPANPLUS::Dist::Arch, available as 
perl-cpanplus-dist-arch on the AUR. It comes with a program called "cpan2aur" 
that can generate PKGBUILDs, upload them to the AUR, or check if a new version 
of a module is available automatically.

To keep a long story short, if you want help maintaining your AUR package and 
keeping it up to date you might find it useful. I use it for my AUR perl 
packages. But to keep the PKGBUILD perfect like you made it you would have to 
use a PKGBUILD template file. If you want to try it here are instructions:

Create a directory called 'nama'. I have such dirs under my ~/aur directory. 
Copy this PKGBUILD template file to a file called PKGBUILD.tt:

# CPAN Name  : Audio-Nama
# Maintainer : [% packager %]
# Generator  : CPANPLUS::Dist::Arch [% version %]
pkgname='nama'
pkgver='[% pkgver %]'
pkgrel='[% pkgrel %]'
pkgdesc='Tk/CLI frontend for ecasound'
arch=('[% arch %]')
license=('GPL2')
options=('!emptydirs')
depends=([% depends %])
provides=('perl-audio-nama')
optdepends=('perl-audio-ecasound' 'perl-tk')
url='http://freeshell.de/~bolangi/cgi1/nama.cgi/00home.html'
source=('[% source %]')
md5sums=('[% md5sums %]')

build() {
  DIST_DIR="${srcdir}/[% distdir %]"
  export PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 PERL5LIB=""                 \
    PERL_AUTOINSTALL=--skipdeps                            \
    PERL_MM_OPT="INSTALLDIRS=vendor DESTDIR='$pkgdir'"     \
    PERL_MB_OPT="--installdirs vendor --destdir '$pkgdir'" \
    MODULEBUILDRC=/dev/null

  { cd "$DIST_DIR" &&
    perl Makefile.PL &&
    make &&
    [% IF skiptest %]#[% END %]make test &&
    make install;
  } || return 1;

  find "$pkgdir" -name .packlist -o -name perllocal.pod -delete
}

'cd' back into the parent directory and type: 'cpan2aur nama'. This will build 
a new source package file, generating a PKGBUILD from your template. Then type 
'cpan2aur --check nama' to automatically check if a new version of Audio-Name 
from CPAN is available and automatically upload the new version of the source 
package. Or you can do things like 'cpan2aur --upload nama' to generate/upload 
a source package from that directory's PKGBUILD.tt

I hope that helps you. I don't have steady internet lately so I might not reply 
instantly if you need me but thanks for your AUR package!
