Sorry for bumping a thread from April, but the VCS prototypes are still an issue. These prototypes are getting exceptionally dated, and they need to be either removed or updated. Can a final decision be made on what to do with them please? If it's decided to remove them, can someone please remove them from ABS and tag a new version? I think there's already a patch on arch-projects to remove them all. It just needs to be applied. For what it's worth, I would really like to keep them around, preferably after moving them from ABS to pacman. I want to keep them around because they are useful for quickly getting a generic pkgver() function from, e.g., PKGBUILD-git.proto. If you decide to keep them, I will gladly send in a patch to update/move them. And if downstream packagers/distros don't want to include the VCS prototypes, they can easily remove them. Jason
