Hey Bryan, Unsupported packages should not share the same name as official packages, so I've deleted it.
There'd be no problem if you called it 'pacman-ischo' or something, to denote that it's your fork of pacman.
Also, it's a good idea to include your patch on the list so it may be discussed.
Hi. Sorry about the invalid package I submitted to AUR, it was my first package submission and I did not realize the many ways in which it violates AUR policy :) I agree that the best way is for me to change the name of the package, and I will re-submit a changed package to AUR (my purpose being to allow end-users to test my change easily). I just got the git sources for pacman, and have applied my patch to it, which succeeded on the source/header files but failed miserably on many other files that are apparently specific to the release version of the source. I will re-work my patch to fit properly into the git version of the source, and to include all documentation updates and such, but not to include changes to the pacman or libalpm versions (I will let a real developer handle those). I'm very new to git so I have some reading to do ... Thanks! Bryan
