OK, as I see almost all differences are gone now. :-) However I've noticed some other: in autogen.sh there's automake -a -c --gnu --foreign and then cp -f $(dirname $(which automake))/../share/automake-1.9/mkinstalldirs ./ cp -f $(dirname $(which automake))/../share/gettext/config.rpath ./ in Arch and the same lines in reverse order in Frugalware. Which order is right - automake-then-cp or cp-then-automake? Even if this doesn't matter, IMHO it is better to have the same code for such trivial thing anyway. Also, in Arch Pacman is 3.4.0, ALPM is 0.1.0, in Frugalware - 3.4.3 and 1.3.4.3 respectively (numbers taken from configure.ac) :-) Also NEWS is not updated in Arch's branch. I know that this is really meaningless now, just wanted to point this out. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
