In this PKGBUILD you have included, and very well, a markdown README.md file. It's supposed to be a plain markdown text file, usable without need for any software just to read it. This file is installed to /usr/share/doc/suckit/README.md.

However, you must have picked the wrong file. It should be a plain markdown text file, but instead :

$ file /usr/share/doc/suckit/README.md

/usr/share/doc/suckit/README.md: HTML document, Unicode text, UTF-8 text, with very long lines (16340)

So it seems you picked up the html rendered version of the README.md.

The text version is at the "raw" url, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Skallwar/suckit/master/README.md

Isn't the purpose of this "suckit-bin" and all "-bin" PKGBUILDS, that you can avoid downloading the huge dependencies, and just get the precompiled binary ready to use ?

Yes that's the goal.

It was a oversight on my side. It should be fixed now. Thanks for taking the time to report this

Thanks for providing this "-bin" PKGBUILD. I'm eager to test suckit, but I dont want to install the entire rust toolchain on my system.

So it still wants to install rust. I aborted here, because I dont want it. I know it's a "make" dependency, and it'll be removed after. But still I dont want it.

If I wanted it I would be using, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/suckit

Is this the way it's supposed to work here ? Isn't the purpose of this "suckit-bin" and all "-bin" PKGBUILDS, that you can avoid downloading the huge dependencies, and just get the precompiled binary ready to use ?

Thanks in advance.
