That's what i suggest too and i hope my poor english have explained it in this way. The only thing what is enough for me is to search over pacman and to have the PKBUILD's local on my disk instead of searching in the web forum. Don't misunderstood me i don't want to critize it that at the moment i have to search by myself for other PKBUILD's and i'm very thankful for this other PKBUILD's. I see the whole thing more as an luxury option for users who know what they are doing and/or are a little bit more experimental and know the package fakeroot and read the PKBUILD before they run it. At the end i will say something about the security of building own packages from the view of an normal user: If there is a certain application not in the repositry than i will try do make my own package local on my computer and this will be in the same way dangerous or not as if i take another PKBUILD from a local abs tree or from the web forum as example for my own. So i think a line with "You use this for your own risk" will be enough because you will never stop normal users if they want to have a certain application and i think too that you can control a aur tree in abs better than every hint in the net.-) I hope it isn't too hard to read my german way to write english.-) See you, Attila _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
