This +is like (professional) Debian's approach and unlike Arch's. + +I inspired heavily from Debian's packaging of gcc cross-compilers. + +I (obviously) release my contributions to the PKGBUILDs under +Creative Commons Zero. The original PKGBUILDs I based on were +available on AUR and in Hyperbola's (and maybe Parabola's) repos and +I couldn't find any explicit license notice for them. By common sense +I assume they were not non-free. |
