The Linux version of ACPICA is completely different from what is available on the ACPICA
website. The native ACPICA code is translated to Linux with a utility at the time ACPICA
is integrated into Linux (this is done for every new release of the ACPICA code.)
So, I'm not sure what your goal is.

The source code wouldn't be changed at all, I am not programmer. I try
to package software for the Arch Linux community repo for others to use.
All it does it pull from the software's site and compile it and install.
If it does get moved to the official repo then when it compiles the
software it will put in binary form.
