For example there is the Arch Build System which provides the PKGBUILD scripts to recompile any package in the repositories to your specifications. There's also the Arch User Repository which contains user submitted PKGBUILDs that are often set up to build existing packages with different flags like removing unnecessary GNOME/KDE libs in GTK+ and QT apps.<br /><br />I don't know if this is what you're looking for but it's one of the best parts of Arch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
