Any reason there's no fluxbb pkgbuild?

It's not in the official repos either. Is it just so close to punbb that for all intents and purposes whatever version of punbb that's in the official repos is considered sufficient?

Maybe nobody needed it / wanted to maintain it.

It doesn't really make sense to package this kind of stuff. This has been discussed before:

Cool, thanks for the information! Are web apps hard or impossible to package correctly due to permission issues like blazercist mentioned, or is it some a whole group of issues that they tend to have?

Those php files are changed by the user on a regular basis. Webpages are dynamic, you bend and bow them to your liking. Every time there is an update, you risk losing all that, because the .pacnew concept (logically) does not apply to every file in a package.

Re: Any reason there's no fluxbb pkgbuild?

In that case, are the only differences between punbb and fluxbb php based?
