Create a new AUR (Arch User Repository) package with proper structure, validation, and git setup.

Package name: $ARGUMENTS[0] Source type: $ARGUMENTS[1]

Workflow

1. Gather package information:

   • Package name (provided by user)
   • Source type (npm, rust, go, git, binary, appimage)
   • Fetch metadata from upstream (version, description, license, URL)

2. Create package directory structure:

   • Directory named after the package
   • .gitignore for build artifacts
   • PKGBUILD with appropriate structure for source type

3. Generate checksums (skip for -git packages):

   updpkgsums
   

4. Build and validate:

   makepkg -f              # Build the package
   namcap PKGBUILD         # Lint PKGBUILD
   namcap *.pkg.tar.zst    # Lint built package
