Hi Chris,

I did indeed start from scratch (had too many faulty PKGBUILDs before due to copy/paste errors; one lives and learns). However, a lot of the lines would obviously be the same (or very similar) doing a diff. There are not too many different ways of building a package ;-)

Regarding AUR -> [community], there's the DevWiki, explaining things [1].

Generally, if I copy an existing PKGBUILD I leave the contributors in there. This was just not the case here.
Sorry, if that came across as weird. That was not my intention (just spent the day in rebuild frenzy ;-) ). Will make sure to include contributors where appropriate in the future.

None of the AUR repos are really 'gone' after deletion. They're just not accessible through the web interface anymore. You can still clone them!

btw: Good and fast job on the packages! zita-convolver 4.0.0 sadly took some time due to LAC and dependency fixes.
That being said: My offer for TU sponsorship still stands! :-)

Best,
David
