Yes.
The PKGBUILD that I have done conform to the Arch linux packaging standards
set by of course arch devs.
I read the articles on the wiki and tried to keep close
to the
standards defined there. Please remember that those PKGBUILDs are
still in some kind work-in progress state, since I'm generally new to
writing them.
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. 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?
It is my opinion that if the scripts are not done in a manner as outlined in
the package build document (on their site), the devs at arch linux will
reject the pkgbuild scripts. I would like to see them included in the arch
linux extra or community package repos. So quality counts in my opinion.

The qt3 build you have does have some broken-ness to it as well. I started
with that PKGBUILD which led me down a path of horror. With Laurent Dard
help I was able to fix the broken-ness and I now have a solid build set.
qt3
wasn't done by me. I concentrated on adding new PKGBUILDs that we
yet didn't have.
Upon looking at the Arch build repo you don't have a full set. It appears
to me you are stuck at the autotool build packages as was I until Laurent
help. I now have the following complete and working qt3, tqtinterface,
arts, dbus-tqt, dbus-1-tqt, kdelibs, kdebase, kdebindings,
kdeaccessibility, kdeutils, kdemultimedia, kdenetwork, deadmin, kdeartwork,
kdegames, kdetoys, kdeedu, kdegraphics, kdevelop, kdeaddons, kdewebdev,
kdepim and kdesdk. I need to do some cleanup work on my scripts and then I
am on to the apps.
I fixed autotools issues a cople of days ago (8). And atm we
have full
set too in our git. Currentely I'm working on split package PKGBUILD
for i18n and I've begun on working on apps too.
I know they are working and good as I use them on my
desktop machine and
even at the present state of trinity not being complete it satisfies my
needs. Even with the outstanding bugs in need of patches. Good job to the
trinity devs, Thank you.
I am also adding a mksource function so that I can pull from the source git
repo on trinitydesktop.org.
+1 I've been thinking aboit that, postponed it
until the git move is
complete, which whould be 1st January.
I also need to complete my work with qt3 so it
will install and work along with qt4, I have just a few files that are
givin pacman a problem. I think it will be a non issue.
I have planned out my repo to match the source repo by having three sub
directories called dependencies desktop and applications. I would like to
see the trinity arch pkgbuild repo to move to something like that. The way
the repo is now is very confusing to me.

Where are we going to start?
I presume You have access to our git.
Check out tde-packaging and begin on correcting whatever is wrong in
our PKGBUILDs?
Correct our PKGBUILDs templates?
How many people are in the trinity arch linux developers/packagers?
Atm: Me and
Calvin who is maintainer of the whole thing.
What are the guide lines for the repo and how the pkgbuild scripts conform
to ?
ATM: there is http://trinity.etherpad.trinitydesktop.org/32
How to best incorporate my work into the repo?
The repo needs to be put in an order that makes sense so people that want to
contribute can and all the 3.5.13 packages need to have PKGBUILD scripts.
We are
working on this.
I see your post as trying to start a dick size war so lets not do that and
start being productive. I take your post as counter productive.
Is this us against them here or what?
And you are wrong. I don't know how you
see my attempt to start a war
by asking how are different yours PKGBUILDs from ours.
If you really don't want my help just say so, cancel my login to the git
repo and I will go back to doing my own thing and putting my work on github,
Just say so and I am gone. It's really not that hard for me and it's all
good for me. I can help or I can leave it is up to you folks.
My work is presently here: https://github.com/baho-utot/trinity.
You can clone those and put them here if you like.
