well, the message i linked had the bits i was referring to factored
out, and they amount to about 15-20 lines -- the PKGBUILD i linked
*is* complex, but not complicated ... there is alot going on, and it's
a less than trivial build.

the bits relating to git are pretty clear, imo at least.  "the arch
way" is a great guideline -- i believe i've made the process as simple
as it *can* be made ;-)

that is fine, i was not suggesting any alteration or amendments to
your series.  it simply reminded me of a my prior work; work i believe
is still more than valid.  perhaps i should have created a new thread
from it, but i'm still not 100% the expectations of this list.

no worries, i may be able to spin some patches, but i would recommend
maybe reading my original linked proposal, as i think it labels the
goals pretty well.
