@lilydjwg its yours!

Hi triz3n, I can help with this package if you're willing.

The latest update installs "noping" again. Thank you! But sadly, I can't run this as normal user: ping_send failed: Operation not permitted

Normal ping is no problem...

@triz3n cool, the only thing you needed to change was revert the make command in the package function to be make DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install instead of just make DESTDIR="${pkgdir}". The rest of the changes can be kept.

@rsa @mattelacchiato I have reverted everything back to the way it was when I picked up this package. Sorry for the issues.

This package now installs nothing since the make install step was removed. It is an empty package (0 bytes).

I've just installed liboping, but the "noping" command is missing...

@lilydjwg I removed the install script from the PKGBUILD and removed the file from the repo. Namcap doesn't show anything on the PKGBUILD and I was able to install the package using makepkg -si. After pushing to the repo I installed with trizen for good measure and again didn't receive any errors. So you should be all set!

Thank you for reaching out and letting me know!

The whole install script can be removed. Currently there is an error saying post_upgrade isn't found.
