Hi,
I took repo-add from the pacman package and one built from the latest git
will all Xavier's patches and made a repo db from all packages in my cache
(all of testing, core and extra, some community). There are a few
differences (see http://dev.archlinux.org/~allan/repoadd-diff.txt).
A summary of the differences:
A bunch of packages have the ARCH field removed:
-%ARCH%
-i686
Hmm, this I'm not sure about.
Following Xavier's hint in an earlier reply, these are all packages that
were build a long time ago - before the arch field in PKGBUILD.
e.g.
> pacman -Si barcode | grep Build
Build Date : Sun 22 Feb 2004 14:10:37 EST (!!!!)
These will not really matter until something happens that force a
rebuild of the repo-db. They could probably all do with a rebuild to
get newer optimization and fix man paths, etc, anyway.
A few differences to do with quotes. e.g.
-custom:INTEL537
+custom:"INTEL537"
and
+%DESC%
+Efficient bit vector, set of integers and "big int" math library
Exactly. This was the exact description that brought about that other
fix in the first place. You can't have your cake both ways.
This change is not so good... (k3b-i18n package)
%DEPENDS%
-k3b>=1.0.5-1
+k3b>=$pkgver
This happened in the makepkg stage, and I will bet a lot of money you
will find the following in the PKGBUILD:
depends=('k3b>=$pkgver')
rather than
depends=("k3b>=$pkgver")
And we have a winner! This is in the .PKGINFO file:
depend = k3b>=$pkgver
I guess a bug report, and maybe a namcap check, is in order.
