Hi, Edit: Take3, suggested changes - thanks everyone! Dan suggested I send this to the pacman-dev list. After completing some research and asking alot of questions I present some minor changes to PKGBUILD.proto supplied as a .diff to be merged after your approval. I believe it helps the intended audience create a better PKGBUILD in less time according to the latest Arch Packaging Standards.
