Better use this document: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Packaging_Standards The document you are referring to contains a couple of errors from a quick look at it. btw it seems trivial to me that a contributor is someone who did contribute to the PKGBUILD at some point. That is why the comment starts with 'contributor' and not with 'firstsubmitter' or so.... Ronald
