This is not the only problem. Another big problem is that it would require real interest and work from official developers, and this is clearly inexistent :) For example, dbscripts would require some work as well http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=dbscripts.git;a=tree If these two problems can be fixed, we still have some technical issues about how adding deltas to a database with repo-add should work. _______________________________________________ pacman-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/pacman-dev
