PKGBUILD for flnews Usenet newsreader

flnews ("A fast and lightweight Usenet newsreader for Unix") using FLTK (HiDPI)

pkgname=flnews
pkgver=1.3.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Fast and lightweight Usenet client with GUI"
arch=('x86_64')
url="https://micha.freeshell.org/flnews/"
license=('custom')
depends=('glibc' 'fltk')
makedepends=('make')
source=("https://micha.freeshell.org/flnews/src/${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.bz2")
sha256sums=('877e50628774d4d8b170451049b1cd81c9d716d06d8f8ce16fa36fed6ca8a966')

prepare() {
  cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver"
  sed -i 's|^CFG_PREFIX="/usr/local"|CFG_PREFIX="/usr"|g' CONFIG
}

build() {
  cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver"
  make
}

package() {
  cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver"
  make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install
}

Works for me. Cheers

Edit: Thanks for the note about licenses, Lone_Wolf; putting custom for now seeing LICENSE files with "Copyright (c) Michael Baeuerle" and others.

Re: PKGBUILD for flnews Usenet newsreader

The download contains a license file that states every subdirectory has its own licensefile.
You have to check those files and put the corresponding licenses in the license field.
