creating a pkg - the easy/fast way:

- create a directory

- create a text-file called 'PKGBUILD' in this dir

- fill this empty file with the stuff you found in the forum

with "the stuff", i mean this:

pkgname=redhat-artwork 
 pkgver=0.96 
 pkgrel=1 
......

- open a terminal/shell/console and cd  to/the/dir/

- run makepkg

- this will create the pkg in this dir

- to install it, use pacman -U theNewFile-someversion.pkg.tar.gz

have fun
