Hello!

I'm pretty new to Arch, so thought I'd say hi.

Also, I appear to have got involved in making pkgbuilds pretty soon too :-) I've taken over maintainership of KBib (a KDE bibliography manager) in the AUR, after an email exchange with the previous maintainer, who's no longer using Arch. I also had to create a pkgbuild for a depdenency, yaz++, the C++ bindings (so far as I can tell) for yaz, which is in community. They're both there under my name (petelewis) if anyone's interested. I'm not sure if the yaz maintainer might be interested in this...

Anyway, so just thought I'd say hi, and if anyone has any feedback on these first two packages, that'd be much appreciated.

Hi! ...and welcome A quick look at those two packages: - The maintainer line is only for binary packages in one of our repos. For packages in unsupported only use the contributor lines. - you don't need to put packages in makedepends if they are already in depends - if you patch, include the patch in the source line (and md5sums), and issue the patch from $srcdir (see nextpoint) and not $startdir - to save you some typing in the future, you can use $srcdir and $pkgdir instead of $startdir/src and $startdir/pkg Regards, Ronald
