Hi! ...and welcome A quick look at those two packages: - The maintainer line is only for binary packages in one of our repos. For packages in unsupported only use the contributor lines. - you don't need to put packages in makedepends if they are already in depends - if you patch, include the patch in the source line (and md5sums), and issue the patch from $srcdir (see nextpoint) and not $startdir - to save you some typing in the future, you can use $srcdir and $pkgdir instead of $startdir/src and $startdir/pkg Regards, Ronald
