Could I ask here whether you might consider packaging as flatpak or snap and publishing the package on its store to ease the installation on more GNU/Linux distributions?

I disowned the package. @AK_IL is now the maintainer. By creating this package, I wished that the installation of GoPanda, the client for this very important online Go game community, could be easier and integrated to the normal process of packages installation through AUR. I never claimed to be a good packager, and @AK_IL made a very good job of "sanitizing" my initial "ugly" contribution. Though, it was only a contribution, and I have been chocked of some comment, qualifying the package of "terrible". I actually did read the documentation before trying. Usually, Archlinux documentation is *very good*, but honestly, I am not sure thar all the keys of a good packaging process are available in the AUR packaging related doc. Or maybe, before of qualifying publicly the work of a beginner of "terrible" (assuming a very clear superiority), contacting me could have been appropriate. My experience of contributing to AUR have been quite rude and, it is not the kind of community where I would feel safe, that is kind of a problem in the "free" software community.

Much better. :)

I have updated the package.

I have opened a post regarding the install script: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=217802

Your comments are appreciated. This is very young package, we'll try to improve the packaging standards and fix what is an offense for common sense.

This package is terrible. Not only do you run an interactive script that installs directly into a users home directory, you call sudo during the package function. At the end of the package function, you haven't actually packaged /anything/. Please fix this. As it stands, nobody should use this PKGBUILD. Please read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_packaging_standards

Finally got it to work by installing the packages: lib32-nss lib32-gconf lib32-pango lib32-libxcomposite lib32-gtk2 lib32-libnotify I found these packages by running ldd /usr/bin/gopanda2 | grep "not found" which got me the missing binaries and using pkgfile I got their packages. I think they should be added to the dependencies array.

The package does not work, I get this error when running: "gopanda2: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". Also, I have a few comments for this PKGBUILD: 1. Instead of printing the license, you should include it in the package, see: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_packaging_standards#Licenses. 2. The installation should be non-interactive as mentioned on the note in: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/creating_packages#Defining_PKGBUILD_variables, I know it's the installation script to blame but maybe we can do something about that. 3. You shouldn't create the symlink in /usr/bin/gopanda2 but in "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/gopanda2", see the second note in: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/creating_packages#package.28.29. 4. If you install the package in /usr/bin/gopanda2, why note name the package gopanda2? 5. I think you should delete the comments because they're quite meaningless. 6. For supporting i686 architecture too maybe we could use the $CARCH variable, or create another package just for that. Thanks for packaging though, I do appreciate it. I'd be glad to be a co-maintainer for this package if you want me to.
