Little nitpicking: the way you did it, after making the package & cleaning, trying to make it again would fail on the bsdtar call, because the file/symlink isn't in src. Would be better if the symlink was created if the file is in startdir but not src; e.g:
if [ ! -f "jre-$_pkg-linux-$_arch2.tar.gz" ]; then
if [ ! -f "../jre-$_pkg-linux-$_arch2.tar.gz" ]; then
# look in common (download) locations, and move it in startdir
for i in /tmp ~/{Desktop,Downloads}; do
if [ -f "$i/jre-$_pkg-linux-$_arch2.tar.gz" ]; then
msg2 "Moving jre-$_pkg-linux-$_arch2.tar.gz from $i/ to $startdir/"
mv "$i/jre-$_pkg-linux-$_arch2.tar.gz" "$startdir/"
break
fi
done
if [ ! -f "../jre-$_pkg-linux-$_arch2.tar.gz" ]; then
error "Tarball not found"
exit 1
fi
fi
# create symlink in src
ln -s ../jre-$_pkg-linux-$_arch2.tar.gz jre-$_pkg-linux-$_arch2.tar.gz
fi

You realize the license needs to be accepted first, right?
Also, I think the file name thing is pretty clear. It's not windows or solaris and it's not .rpm.
E: Also, the permission thing was fixed long before seblu mentioned it. I just don't bump the pkgrel, if that's all there is.
Det commented on 2012-04-27 16:43 (UTC)
@jjacky, true. Done.
@berbae, because of the discussion you didn't read.
@sjakub, same thing. Also, please don't post the same thing in both places.
sjakub commented on 2012-04-27 16:35 (UTC)
It could also say what is the file name it is looking for (to easily find it on the download webpage). Also, it would be nice if it accepted /tmp as the download location as well.
sjakub commented on 2012-04-27 16:31 (UTC)
Det: Things like that (permissions) should be done by the PKGBUILD.
Also, it looks like now it is required to download the package manually.
It would be helpful if it actually said what is the file name you're expected to download.

Why didn't you name the package jre 7u4 as this is the official name?
(the previous package was jre 7u3)

As was made with the java packages in the official repositories, jdk now provides the jre alongside it, and both packages conflict with each other. During the package upgrade to version 22, act accordingly to your needs. For example, if you have both jdk and jre installed, only jdk will be sufficient, as it now also contains the runtime environment, and jre can be uninstalled. If you have only jre installed, no action is required.
