[SOLVED] Quarkcoin-qt, PKGBUILD created

Question

Hi,
I have just created the PKGBUILD, .install, and .desktop files for Quarkcoin-qt. I modified the PKGBUILD for Litecoin and adapted it for Quark.
It worked for me.
If someone with the permissions want to upload it to the AUR, Here is the code:
PKGBUILD:
pkgname='quarkcoin-qt'
pkgver=0.8.3
pkgrel=2
arch=('x86_64')
url="http://www.qrk.cc/"
makedepends=('boost' 'automoc4' 'qrencode' 'miniupnpc')
license=('MIT')
pkgdesc="Peer-to-peer network based digital currency (QT)"
depends=(boost-libs qt4 miniupnpc qrencode)
conflicts=(quarkcoin)
install=quarkcoin-qt.install
source=("https://github.com/MaxGuevara/quark/archive/master.zip")
sha256sums=('8463507c854025d03b9cfcff076c5756a3e9b1bee12fb0dc4bd065176285cd4e')
build() {
cd "$srcdir/quark-master"
# and make qt gui
qmake-qt4 USE_QRCODE=1 USE_UPNP=1
make
package() {
cd "../"
install -Dm644 quarkcoin-qt.desktop "$pkgdir"/usr/share/applications/quarkcoin.desktop
cd "$srcdir/quark-master"
install -Dm755 quarkcoin-qt "$pkgdir"/usr/bin/quarkcoin-qt
install -Dm644 share/pixmaps/bitcoin128.png "$pkgdir"/usr/share/pixmaps/quarkcoin128.png
install -Dm644 COPYING "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/COPYING"
quarkcoin-qt.install:
post_install() {
update-desktop-database -q
post_upgrade() {
post_install $1
post_remove() {
post_install $1
quarkcoin-qt.desktop:

All you have to do is make an AUR account and you can upload it.
BUT please don't in it's current form. You're pulling a tarball of git master, so the pkgname should be suffixed with -git. Plus the checksum will change constantly, so you would need to change that to SKIP and have no checking at all. Really, you need to either do a git clone which does it's own checksumming (see VCS PKGBUILD Guidelines in the Wiki) or pull a tarball of a specific tag. If you need help with a pkgver function that makes sense, let us know.
