Didn't see them.

Sorry I don't see my work as a duplication.

Duplicate - 3. To make or perform again; repeat.

You are duplicating the work when you could be contributing.

I have developed my pkgbuilds to
work with a fresh install of arch linux and to adhere and integrate into arch
linux the way the arch developers have out lined in their package building
guide.

Wow thats awesome! why don't you contribute to the project by helping us? It seems ridiculous for you to be playing the part of Maverick here especially since I don't even really want to do the packaging. I'm just doing it because no one else has stepped up yet.

The Arch Way as far as I see it implies leaving everything upstream.

I also build in a clean chroot environment and namcap both the
packages and the build scripts. The scripts I have are not completely
without error according to namacp but they are really close. I have examined
the scripts in AUR, they are not to my standards.

Doesn't everyone else do this? :-) I test our scripts not in a chroot, but a VM. Even cleaner.

namcap is a great utility which I have not utilized much. While examining the scripts in the AUR you didn't think to improve them or even bother to talk to us? Instead you went your own way? I don't mean to be harsh but this all seems very counter intuitive.
