Hi! I liked your attitude in your previous mails you did send to this list. Good to see someone found some time to check you PKGBUILDs and sponsor you. Just had a quick look at some of your packages, only saw some minor things. - try to use install instead if cp when possible so you can make sure the files will have the correct permissions - in some packages you create a file in /usr/bin from within the PKGBUILD. At least in some packages it seems you could accomplish the same result with just a simple symlink. If it is not possible for some package it would be better IMO to just add an executable to the source array and install it. That's it. Ronald
