[request] Open Source Laptop Tracking System

Hi!

Just found Adeona, which is a open source system for tracking the location of your lost or stolen laptop that does not rely on a proprietary, central service.

Is somebody willing to create a PKGBUILD for it?
More information and the source code can be found here: http://adeona.cs.washington.edu/

Thanks!

I made this PKGBUILD. It will only work interactively, because you have to enter a password twice.

It is also in the AUR.
