Hey all,
I'm comfortable enough with the new db scripts to throw them out in the wild.
So, I've placed them at /arch-new for you to play with. Here are some
caveats, however:
* This will not update the website DB. Use at your discresion. Once
these are "approved", then Eliott can move the new-model web changes
out and the front end WILL be updated on a cron job.
* There will be a warning about ~/staging/${REPO}64/ existing. This is
expected. Because we have the arch in the filename, we don't need
extra dirs anymore. Don't worry, the scripts handle it gracefully and
a new devtools release will do away with pushing to the '64' dirs.
Then we can clean up our staging dirs a bit.
* I didn't fully test removal, because I didn't have anything to
remove. If someone has a package to remove, let me know so I can test
it properly. If you try, let me know if it fails.
There's 2 packages that you could remove to test the script.
There's my proftpd package that noone seems to be interested in picking
up. A package in community depends on it, so it'll need to be moved there.
I have an updated PKGBUILD and fixed daemon script that I could send you
so you could put the fixed package in community. Alternatively, I could
build the packages but you'll need to test the x86_64 one because of
reasons mentioned in the proftpd thread.
There's also acroread. The discussion about it seems to have
settled down.
