I have looked quickly at your packages. Some of this has been said before. 1) For some packages you use bsdtar/tar in the package() function. It is not an error, but source files already unpacked into $srcdir. Maybe is it a better way to use "cp" (or "install") instead of "bsdtar"? 2) For some packages you don't use double quotes for $srcdir and/or $pkgdir variables. 3) PKGBUILDs for "ausweisapp", "centrafuseauto-beta", some of "courier-" and other packages may be less than it is. (If you will use "find -exec" for example.) But it isn't an error too. 4) Some of PKGBUILDs have "| return 1" function. 5) Some of your packages are out-of-date. 6) Why you do not use patches for some of your packages and use giant sed script? 7) Some of your packages have old VCS standart. 8) vim-paster really had not package() function. But some others look pretty. I understand that it is difficult to maintain a large number of packages. But it is a reason to disown some of them. I want ask you what are packages groups that you want maintain and why? Or have you no any general idea? -- С уважением, Е.Алексеев.
