Baho,
I think again we are duplicating our work. Me and Pawel have had
PKGBUILDs
available for some time.

Have not seen them.
My pkgbuilds are very different from the ones in AUR.
I have TDE going into /usr. I have to fix a small issue with my qt3 so qt4 can be installed without error though.
That's not a big difference - only a path. I don't see why we continue to duplicate our work. All of our sources so far are available in the Git repository.

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 see it as an alternative.
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.
It takes me a little longer to get things done as I am an old fart. What I would like to do is to get my pkbuilds into git so anyone can clone the repo and then fix, add to the work etc.
What has been missing as I see it is a place for a git repo so anyone can pull from it and make the builds better. I don't see that as being a maverick, to me you folks have abondoned me to my own accord.
I was willing to put from a git repo and contribute, but first I needed to learn how to package trinity and then learn git. I think I now have a solid trinty build "system" in place.
I am starting learning git right now.
The Arch Way as far as I see it implies leaving everything upstream.
Want to guess who's the upstream for trinity?
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.
Maybe so, but testing in a new install I think is better is even better.
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.
I had a bunch of problems with building the autotool packages, no one seemed to help except for Laurent Dard to which I am very very greatfull. From his help I found that the qt3 build was greatly borked. I have learned a lot with his help. I was able to correct my entire TDE build which was at that time horrible. BTW the AUR qt script has the same issues I had.
Instead of completely shrugging off the work we've put into in, why not work together? Everyone here is rooting for Trinity, and we are both arch users.
Some times for me I need to go it alone so I can learn. I am not as fast at this as others are.
