Hi Lukáš,
nice to see someone from the Czech Republic aplying for a TU! 
Since so many people asking for discussion and none has been done yet,
here a short output from namcap for your AUR packages. All simple fixes,
I always liked your PKGBUILDs, so I didn't expect any bigger problems.

PKGBUILD (aacplus) W: Description should not contain the package name.
PKGBUILD (cdrtools) W: Description should not contain the package name.
PKGBUILD (gimp-plugin-texturize) E: Use $srcdir instead of $startdir/src
PKGBUILD (gimp-plugin-texturize) E: Use $pkgdir instead of $startdir/pkg
PKGBUILD (metisse-cvs) E: Use $srcdir instead of $startdir/src
PKGBUILD (metisse-cvs) E: Use $pkgdir instead of $startdir/pkg
PKGBUILD (nucleo-cvs) E: Use $srcdir instead of $startdir/src
PKGBUILD (nucleo-cvs) E: Use $pkgdir instead of $startdir/pkg
PKGBUILD (ocropus) E: Not enough md5sums: 2 needed
PKGBUILD (ossec-agent) E: File referenced in $startdir
PKGBUILD (ossec-local) E: File referenced in $startdir
PKGBUILD (ossec-server) E: File referenced in $startdir
PKGBUILD (targetware) E: Use $srcdir instead of $startdir/src
PKGBUILD (targetware) E: Use $pkgdir instead of $startdir/pkg

In your application, you didn't mention your age. So may I ask how old are you?
Good luck!

Cheers,
Jaroslav
