Pacman is written in C, but makepkg is a shell script. I always recommend new contributors look at something they personally want to see improved. Also, make sure you ask before implementing something too large to avoid it being rejected as an unwanted feature. A On 12/08/17 18:28, Shameem Fairooz wrote:

​Hi I'm shameem, newbie. I've nailed down the basics of shell scripting. I'd like to contribute to pacman and other official projects. Any other skills that you'd recommend me to learn along with the process ?

Thank You. .
