Greetings, 1. I'm sorry for instantly creating a git repository from all of the files. I am still new to git and I'm not 100% accustomed to creating PKGBUILDs out of git repositories.
2. I have nothing against SourceForge or SVN. I used the latter shortly for getting FreeBSD kernel source tree snapshots. 3. I would be very happy if you could help me out with migrating the project from SVN to git. >From the link you attached I read that it's not trivial. 4. For now, I cleaned up the entire repository and moved both the patch file and tarball to a separate directory so that I can still build the PKGBUILD for Arch Linux. I'm awaiting your further assistance ;).
