Hi Bruno,

	Thanks a lot for confirming that I didn't receive Orphaning
email! 

	I did receive the comment. I actually checked the pull request
a little, but decided not to reply because I didn't want to be
negative. I totally believe the current maintainer has a better format
of PKGBUILD (well, except his pkgver mistake). Now let me comment a few
things on SGE.

	In the SGE package comment.

1, The current maintainer blamed me "连pkgver都填错这个真的是有点不可容忍了". Google
translation: "It’s really intolerable that even pkgver was filled in
wrong." 

Now it turned out that the current maintainer made the mistake.....

2, He also said "通过.install在post install阶段装了一大堆包管理器没有接管的文件", Google
translation "A lot of files that the package manager did not take over
were installed in the post install stage through .install".

  This could be a disaster if somebody want to upgrade SGE by uninstall
and re-install. SGE has been a very special software because it needs
some post installation to let user specify a lot of host/jobs/queue
configuration. Thus all files are put under /opt/sge for the legacy
reason.


Best,
Manhong
