Documentation in the manpages shouldn't be Arch Linux specific. Good catch, this is why we pay you the big bucks.
Well, shouldn't the man page for makepkg be Arch Specific?
Care to explain your logic? I know *for a fact* that we aren't the only people using makepkg.

Ok, Dan, I'll try. Makepkg is from a package produced by Arch and its developers. The man page _should_ accurately depict the usage of that program as it pertains to Arch. Makepkg is not a generic package and its man page would not be included in generic man-pages on other distro's but should be included (when man-pages are included) for Arch. Perhaps that is not 'technically' Arch specific, but it seemed to me to be so.
