Hard to beat that as a recommendation. ;)

It sounds as though alioth may not have the necessary facilities,
which is unfortunate.

<joke>Well, tla-buildpackage is written in python, so of course

Jokes aside (sorry, John, I really do like it!), I, personally, have
yet to need more freedom than it provides, and it's limitations have
helped insulate me from some things about arch that I am not yet at
home with.

That said, whenever you decide you want someone external to poke at
arch-buildpackage, I'd be interested in doing so.
