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.
PKGBULDs I worte were wrote in new fresh Arch install and tested on 2 different VM's (one for i686, one for x86) and then tested on my laptop (fresh Arch install here too).
You are duplicating the work when you could be contributing.
+1
I see it as an alternative.
-1 Is there really that lot of difference between our PKGBUILDs and Yours?
