You can rest assured that Arch Linux users don't bother about<br>
"distributions". Software is only "packaged" because it's a necessary<br>
step to maintain a record and system sanity. You can't really refer to<br>
our packaging and compare it to, say, Fedora's packaging. We "package"<br>
almost everything, even our own custom, personal scripts.<br></blockquote><div><br>You've said it there: Arch Linux *users*.<br><br>In response to "warning dialogs": Am I the only one that tries to figure out if clicking "Yes", "No", or "OK" is going to make the program go on without reading the box?

<br>I can see the use of the script, but I have to say that I think the damage of a new user not understanding "development" software, and thinking a program is broken due to them testing a pre-"pre-alpha" far outweighs the usefulness of the script.<br>
<br>That's not to say that your not allowed to script the process, but don't share it online. It damages the reputation of the software you've packaged.<br><br>Am I totally in the dark here? -Harry<br></div></div>
