Make Packages

In the root folder a PKGBUILD file as to be created which contains configuration for the package.

When makepkg is run, these folders are created on the machine wich installs the package:

myapp/
├── PKGBUILD
├── src/        ← $srcdir
│   └── unpacked source files here
├── pkg/        ← $pkgdir lives here
│   └── myapp/...
└── myapp-1.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst  ← the final package

• $pkgdir - Everything that needs to appear in the installed package must be placed here with the correct directory structure

• $srcdir - refers to the directory where all source files are unpacked or copied by makepkg
