Re: First Archlinux GUI USSD Sender - USSDPAD

EDIT:  I originally had some very harsh critiques of this package, but I was very confused about what was what - my appologies.  This has been returned from the dustbin.

There certainly are ways this could be cleaned up, but on my first investigation I saw the PKGBUILD calling an odd "make-install.sh" and in the sourceforge repo you linked to I found your install.sh which I wrongly read to be the same thing.  I thought your own install.sh was being called from the PKGBUILD, and that would be very problematic - but this seems not to be the case.

I would recommend you clean up your repo - there is no reason for users to download all your personal testing build scripts.  There may be other ways to clean this up more too, but my initial reactions were unfounded.

I first looked into this due to reports questioning the legality, but I don't (currently) see any issues there - but I could be missing something.  There are other ussd tools in the AUR, this one just has a GUI.

I did at one point "redact" your URLs, I've replaced them now with links to the AUR page.  I think one of them went to your sourceforge repo before - but that is not useful for users here because of those odd install scripts.

Mod => Moving to Community Contributions.

Personal => Adding an explanation of what "ussd" is would be nice. Maybe I'm missing something obvious though.
