The author have committed the build script. https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/issues/131 @DuckSoft @jsamr

Alright, let's merge this. Merge req is sent. Awaiting official triage.

@DuckSoft Please rename this to ventoy-bin.

Also, I have security concerns about this program. It pops out of nowhere, the authors are unknown (the Github user has no prior activity, no info in the website either), no build instructions, the .exe binary has been spotted as malware by different anti-viruses (take a look at multiple reports in their issue tracker), the git repository is a mess with a lot of shipped / modified binaries.

I would recommend the community to wait for a transparency endeavor on the developers side, and even better a security audit from an independent team. Don't install untrusted code on a USB key!

EDIT: A lot of the concerns can be lifted now, see Manjaro packager comments here: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/community-ventoy-compile-from-source/143714

@duckSoft you should just rename the package (I belive that it is acualy make a new one with the right name and request a merge) then let someone else make the compiled version

@springzfx I don't know. You know, https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/issues/131

This should directly compiled form source code in PKGBUILD, otherwise please rename it to ventoy-bin
