  • The URL is missing.
  • The checksums are missing.
  • The license= field should use a spdx identifier: https://spdx.org/licenses/
  • Packages shouldn't install anything to /usr/local, everything goes into /usr.
  • Since this is just a single executable you can install it directly to /usr/bin/, which lets you get rid of the ugly here-string in the PKGBUILD.
  • The runtime data should be stored in /var, /usr/shouldn't be modified during runtime.
  • The 'cp -r' copies a lot of files to /usr/share/arch-store/ that don't belong there - PKGBUILDs, license, an unused install.sh, the main executable, the .desktop file.
  • Since upstream doesn't follow any idiomatic python packaging guidelines the git and python-setuptools are not needed as makedeps.

Most of these points apply to the -git PKGBUILD as well.
