i agree, also the svn dir structure is awful, if they didn't change it,
every package has three directories with basically the same content, but
you have a directory per architecture and then a trunk dir for the
working pkgbuild, and some tools to move things around. we flattened
this on abslibre.git explicitly so we didn't have to deal with this
structure :P
