Thanks, @gwuensch. That's a valid feedback. I'll update the package soon to not contain unnecessary stuff.

Hey there! Currently, this package is built by copying all the files in $srcdir into $pkgdir. This approach is not very clean, as this might include files from old releases as well as symlinks to the source files, which have no business being in the final package. This is easily solved by manually extracting the source archive to its own unique directory:

diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD
index c46679a..48ba32c 100644
--- a/PKGBUILD
+++ b/PKGBUILD

+}

 package() {
    mkdir -p "$pkgdir/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/pano@elhan.io"
-   cp -r * "$pkgdir/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/pano@elhan.io/"
+   cp -r "pano-${pkgver}"/* "$pkgdir/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/pano@elhan.io/"
 }

It would be great if you could adjust the PKGBUILD accordingly :) Thanks!

@xuiqzy: Good idea, fixed.

Could you change the filename of the downloaded zip to include the version number, please, that way the old file does not need to be deleted for a new build? See for example how the firefox nightly package includes the date in the downloaded source. But the version without date should be enough here in this non git package.

Output when old file is not manually removed
