Post_install and PKGBUILDS[solved]

Question

OK as a maintainer of a package I have a soft dependency of gpac.
Now its been requested that I use
post_install() {}
My question is how? Would I just add it after my build section
build() {
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
sed -i -e "s|/usr|$startdir/pkg/usr|g" \
-e 's|usr/local/|usr/|g' install
./install
post_install() {
Please install gpac for mp4 or mkv conversion
Is this is not correct could some please tell me how to achieve the above so after install it mentions that gpac maybe needed for conversion.

Answer 1

I got a couple of other things firstly in regards to pkgrel I've always presumed that as the version goes up. I've always assumed that I should only increase if I repackage a said version.
Yet I had a comment to the affect asking if I could increase it by one now I felt this is wrong, so what would be the correct way?
The other thing is there something blatantly wrong with the this PKGBUILD or is just a question of TU hasn't got around to it yet?
