Backup hd script

I have created a script which you can get at the linux discussion forum under the topic help with script  or whatever that was is that i created... Anyways its pretty advanced in my opinion as i just did it today and yesterday for a bit.. Its just suposed to ask a few questions as it goes.. Ill eventually have it where you select everything you want backed up but its good for now.. Anyways i need some help with it and want to know how to make it into a package and put it in incoming and then you can all download it..

Re: Backup hd script

There are tutorials in the wiki and some info in the official install guide on how to create packages.  man makepkg is a treasure trove of information too.
