Hello,
The AUR package "owx" [1] does not build. I have attempted to contact the maintainer in order to send a patch, but to no avail. Therefore, I am interested in maintaining this package.
Thanks in advance, -Ruslan

Hello ur6lad,
The PKGBUILD in your owx package downloads the daily SVN snapshot tarball, which changes daily (due to the name of the dir within it having the current date); thus, the checksums change daily, and it is impossible to build the package. I have created a patch (the email attachment) to PKGBUILD, which checks out the current (as of now) revision from SVN instead of downloading the snapshot (which would be less reliable). In addition, it fixes a few trivial errors (regarding Archlinux standards) and improves grammar.
