I've dropped the patch into a git repository

current: http://neptune-one.homeip.net/git?p=abs/current;a=summary
extra: http://neptune-one.homeip.net/git?p=abs/extra;a=summary

There's 3 branches

licenses: license field clean up
makepkg_options: change no* to !* ... etc
sourceforge: change all sf download urls to downloads.sf.net
