My sincere apologies if I have stepped onto someone's toes, it was not my intention.
Personally I build either from AUR or Source myself and if it requires modifying the PKGBUILDS then so be it.
But in general if the Provider of a Service or App is not providing a ready-build package or source then I rather be not their "customer" and use something else or if no alternative is available, then I can live without it very well, tbh.
And it is and was not my intention to discredit your endeavour or your intentions as you seem to put a lot of effort into your project to provide others with ready made packages.
I only felt that it is duplication of work, which seems wasted energy to me since there is a structure in place already (AUR).
Plus there is still the trust issue, which for me is still a no no.
And there is a difference between a random repo found on the Internet and a mainline Arch or Debian repo as one can not directly upload a package without being a Maintainer or Developer in the first place or have to know a Sponsor which can upload for one.
