[SOLVED] Vessel PKGBUILD

Question

Since Vessel from HIB6 just hit linux I decided to take a stab at the PKGBUILD. This is based on the supermeatboy PKGBUILD from AUR.
# Maintainer: afettouhi <[email protected]>
pkgname=vessel
pkgver=08122012
_pkgver=12082012
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Vessel is a physics-based, steampunk puzzle-platform video game developed by Strange Loop Games."
url="http://www.supermeatboy.com/"
license=('custom')
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
groups=("humble-indie-bundle6" "games")
depends=('openal' 'sdl')
source=("${pkgname}-${_pkgver}-bin"
"${pkgname}.install"
"${pkgname}.desktop"
"${pkgname}.sh")
md5sums=("cdb4e42ac3dede4478f54bfe15ebfbeb"
"b25345577b44fbeeba96c6cc87f11c1e"
"6057700248d5796056b1096962d53877"
"174d23fe24b496e2cdda1d136327174e")
makedepends=('unzip')
options=('!strip')
# if [[ -f "${source[0]%%:*}" ]]; then
# makedepends=('unzip')
# else
# makedepends=('unzip' 'humblepie')
# fi
PKGEXT=".pkg.tar"
package() {
mkdir -p "${pkgdir}/opt/games/${pkgname}"
[[ -f "${source[0]}" ]] ||
error "Place the game or a symlink to the game in ${startdir}"
unzip -u "${source[0]}" -d "${pkgdir}/opt/games/${pkgname}" || true
find "${pkgdir}" -type f -exec chmod 644 "{}" +
install -Dm644 "${pkgname}".desktop "${pkgdir}/usr/share/applications/${pkgname}.desktop"
install -Dm755 "${pkgname}".sh "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/${pkgname}"
chmod 755 "${pkgdir}/opt/games/${pkgname}/data/Vessel" \
"${pkgdir}/opt/games/${pkgname}/data/x86/vessel.x86"
# vim: ft=PKGBUILD sts=2 ts=2 sw=2 et
here are the install, desktop and sh files as well.
vessel.desktop:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Value=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Vessel
GenericName=Vessel
Comment=Vessel is a physics-based, steampunk puzzle-platform video game developed by Strange Loop Games
Icon=/opt/games/vessel/data/Vessel.bmp
Exec=/opt/games/vessel/data/Vessel
Categories=Game
Path=/opt/games/vessel
vessel.install:
post_install() {
echo "If you used the torrent download option,"
echo "please remember to reseed!"
post_upgrade() {
post_install
# vim:set ts=2 sw=2 et:
and finally vessel.sh:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
exec /opt/games/vessel/data/Vessel
I currently have two issues with the PKGBUILD.
1. The icon for the desktop file is currently only available as a bmp file. So should I just make a png from that?
2. when I try to make a the src package in order to upload it to AUR. It pulls in the vessel bin file, so that the src.tar.gz is 455 MB. How do I avoid that?

I just tried that, and got this error message when I tried to run vessel:
libGL error: failed to load driver: r600
libGL error: Try again with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose for more details.
