[SOLVED]Defunct or inoperative source file locations in some PKGBUILDs
In using pacbuilder, I've found several instances where the source location listed in a given PKGBUILD is not currently valid. A quick Google search usually turns up a working location, and a fast on-the-fly edit of the PKGBUILD (which pacbuilder now permits) will generally let the build complete.
Where should I post these proposed changes to ABS PKGBUILDs so that either the package maintainer can edit the file if he chooses, or so that other ABS users can more easily edit the PKGBUILD themselves? I looked through the docs and some forum posts, but I didn't find this info (which doesn't mean it's not there; maybe I just missed it).
Thanks.

Filing a bug report would be appropriate for those instances.

O.K., thanks, Allan. That was relatively painless. My first bug report! Man, I feel good. I'm gonna have to wake up my wife and tell her. She'll be soooo excited:)
