Yes, it does. I have a virtual machine with Arch, and its package manager really looks good. I have not tried to write my own build script for it yet, though. Since you know more about Pacman: does it allow running arbitrary scripts on the DESTDIR contents before actually creating a package? I am asking in order to automatically refuse package creation if the result would contain a reference to /tools, /usr/etc, UTF-8 encoded manual page or a similar unwanted thing. -- Alexander E.
