This all.patch is constantly updated. Wouldn't it be better to have a local copy in svn for this one?

What does the all.patch do? Is it even needed?

It seems like it would cause problems to expect users/maintainers to have an SVN copy of the file to build this. Perhaps the makepkg could parse the current md5sum from the website, or do away with it altogether?

Yes, I'll keep a copy in svn.

The patch does miscellaneous fixes and improvements. Having a copy of the patch in svn won't cause any problems. It will even be useful because we'll have the version of the patch that was used to build the package.
