I'm using arch linux both on my laptop and desktop. The AUR is a fast and easy way to install community provided packages. It would be great to have PM there. I'm not familiar with packaging, but the arch wiki provides a comprehensive source of information which helped me in creating the package. I have couple of questions regarding this:
- First of all is it ok to submit it there? Using the access2godzilla build binaries on sourceforge.
- I tested the package that it works both on my laptop and desktop, but this is my first package I've created, it's likely that there may be some problems. Should I give this to some one with more experience?
- Some information I copied from similar firefox-esr-bin package, like licences and dependencies. Here is the full PKGBUILD. What do you think, is the description ok? I copied it from PM4Linux sf page. I'm not sure should I use palemoon-bin as package name instead to show that it is a binary build.

Don't want to make a bad first impression, after all?
