Thank you for the advice. This is, in fact, what I already do (if it affects the built package in any way). :) But ideally, we could edit PKGBUILDs to taste *in addition to* providing general advice about commonly-agreed tastes, or even specific advice. It isn't an either-or kind of thing, I am multi-talented that way. :) :) -- Eli Schwartz
