Contributing to the Artix repos

Hey everybody! After been on Artix for some time and getting everything working on my machine, I've decided to see if  I can try getting the package to Artix repos. While I can find the Arch packaging guides, I don´t seem to be able to find any for Artix. So my question is:  is there an Artix specific guide for packaging? asusctl is already on the arch repos, and while it asks for systemd, I managed to get it running by adding two files to init.d, one for the asusd service and another for supergfxd service. The link to the git is here:
https://gitlab.com/asus-linux/asusctl
The only problem is that I'm not a super programmer, so it might take some time to get it done properly, but I think it could be an nice contribution to Artix.
Thanks for your time!

Not really. In fact, most of Artix's PKGBUILDs are copy-pasted from Arch with minor branding changes and/or systemd support switches getting disabled.


While you're at it, you could upload your initscript files as asusctl-openrc to the AUR. On your git repo, just add your init.d files and have the PKGBUILDs package() function install -Dm755 them to "$pkgdir/etc/init.d".
