I think I might add this in to this set of "repo maintenance" cron jobs so that it will email the dev list once a day. It's definitely worth it. I just checked it in in the dbscripts repo. http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=dbscripts.git;a=commit;h=1c9a21bdf378ddd3572b3b8f405d99b3063521c9 (Thanks Scott) Travis, would you mind taking a look at this and patching it to work over the /home/abs tree on gerolde?
