Hi,Can you provide a bit more details? You can provide the output of `makepkg` for instance.
On a side note, by quickly looking at your PKGBUILD, I can see a bunch of issue:
- Your PKGBUILD seems to build a VCS package. Your pkgname has to reflect that by adopting a `-git` suffix.
- The "source." prefix in your pkgver is un-necessary.- Auto-fdisk is licensed under the MIT license so it has to be packaged by the PKGBUILD. See the first bullet point of the related wiki "license" chapter for more details [1]. - The package should depend on `bash` rather than `sh`. For what it's worth, bash being a member of the `base` metapackage [2], you don't even have to list it as a dependency if you prefer, as the `base` metapackage is assumed installed at runtime.
- Missing `git` as a makedepends.And, most importantly, why did you fork the upstream project [3] and deliver your fork in the PKGBUILD [4] instead of relying on the actual upstream repo [5] directly? Is there any particular reason for that?
