Hello,

thank you for your very long list. Can you provide your script somewhere,
maybe in AUR?

I removed all of the mentioned PKGBUILDS. Regardless if they are written 
differently or are even better than the ones in the repos: The AUR is not 
the place for packages equally named with packages in the repos.
