As my advanced "PKGBUILD" mentor you really have high expections sometimes :) However, top-posting is a preference which I'm comfortable with. Allan made perfectly clear that such netiquette( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-posting) is not welcome here, so I respectfully unsubscribe from this mailing list. Also, I'm not familiar with frugalware, nor will I ever be. I know debian package management, and I've tried to implement some basic concepts. I wish you good luck with the makepkg script and the package spitting. On Sat, Sep 5, 2009 at 10:29 PM, Xavier <shiningxc@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I did not understand 90% of what Ali H.
