but the source part doesn't get enough love. Why not add source support for pacman?
Mostly because pacman is for the binary packages and abs is for the source. But even pacman can build every package if you want.
Oh, and why not compress packages with LZMA?
I think on arch-general was a discussion about that just last month. No really solution in the discussion though. Thomas

Nooooooo. Yeah I agree that managing source packages could be improved. Cheers!

Sorry to hear you're going to go. I'll see what I can do about having some of the Arch-Games team take some of your packages.
Christoph could you tell us to which distro you switched to? Thanks.
Sad to hear you are leaving. But everybody has a freedom of choice. Would be interesting to know which distro you are going to use after Arch :) Thanks for nice wishes. Wish you the same!
