Hello,
I was about to make a nice AUR package for an application I use (the Elance work tracker) and I had a few details I needed to clear up. This package is pretty easy to install and all of the deps are available in the aur, but I would like a more convenient way.
Problems:
It seems to best/only work using the java6 packages in AUR. These install in opt
It has a hard coded dependency on java being at /usr/bin/java
I want to become a more active contributor to the AUR as I have a home build directory with a bunch of stuff I compile and use myself and would love to contribute these with PKGBUILDs. I just want to know how this situation is normally handled and make sure I use the proper etiquette.
Thanks very much for your attention.

/usr/bin/java is a symlink on my system, check if the java6 package changes that symlink .
If so, the hard coded dependency on /usr/bin/java is no problem.
Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
