GitHub action to build a package, analyze it with `namcap`, and output the package file (signed or unsigned) and its `.SRCINFO`.

This action supports PKGBUILDs that have AUR dependencies.

## Inputs and outputs <a name="inputs-and-outputs-"></a>
### Inputs:
* `pkgDir`: relative path to the PKGBUILD directory.
* `gpgPublicKey`: GPG public key that will be used to sign packages.
* `gpgPrivateKey`: GPG private key.
* `gpgPassphrase`: GPG passphrase of `gpgPrivateKey`.

It is recommended to store `gpgPrivateKey` and `gpgPassphrase` as secrets (see [Usage](#usage-)).

None of these inputs are required. 

### Outputs:
* `srcInfo`: Generated `.SRCINFO`.
* `pkgFile`: Built package file.
