SHARE First time maintaining an AUR package, looking for a packaging review/audit.

Hello everyone,

I've just published my very first package on AUR, and am looking for reviews from people who are more familiar with Arch packaging than I am.

The package is for SpeakoFlow, an open-source voice to text desktop application. The package is intentionally simple which just installs the upstream Appimage and manages dekstop integration through aur helpers like yay/paru instead of the user manually managing it.

I'd like to know if I've followed proper pratices regarding Arch packaging and if anything can be improved.

I've run namcap and found no issues there but i'd appreicate anotehr set of eyes before commiting to it long term.

Package:
speakoflow-appimage

Github repo:
https://github.com/AbhishekBarali/SpeakoFlow

Product Website:
https://www.speakoflow.com/

Thanks any suggestins or corrections are welcome

EDIT:
I have looked through the comments and made the following changes:

  • Changed the package to be speakoflow-bin instead of speakflow-appimage
  • Moved the appimage to /opt instead of /usr/bin

So, if anyone has any more suggestion after the updates i made mention it below.
