I have re-flagged those packages on the TODO list. Everyone, please be careful when updating packages. Either update them in only in the [staging] repo or _both_ the main repo and the staging one.

[arch-dev-public] mailman, python24, db4.1, db4.5
by Allan McRae 03 Oct '10

03 Oct '10

Hi, The updated mailman package has been in [testing] for a long time now so I am moving it to [extra]. With this we no longer need python24 in to repos so I will remove that to the AUR. That also removes the need for db4.5, so say bye to that too. And while I am at it, say bye to db4.1 which is no longer needed by anything... The next person to update gerolde should take care with mailman as its install has moved from /home/mailman to somewhere more appropriate. That will probably need some intervention. Allan

[arch-dev-public] The "Great Python Rebuild of 2010" begins
by Allan McRae 02 Oct '10

02 Oct '10

Hi, I have pushed the new python (3.1) and python2 (2.7) packages to the new [staging] repo so rebuilds can start there. Remember the staging repo should never be used outside a build chroot... If you do, everything python related will break on your system. TUs will not be able to start uploading rebuilds yet as they do not have a staging equivalent, but we will sort something out for them once we get all the db-scripts/devtools changes tested for the main one first. The package pool is going to save us a heap of issues when this gets moved so it is worth the wait. The key things to remember with the rebuild are: - build in clean chroots. Most packages will detect "python2" or "python-2.7" once they see no "python" and use that. Some will need simple patching. - change your dependencies to python2 - check files for #!'s with "/usr/bin/python" or "/usr/bin/env python". If you have those you will need to do a sed to change them to python2. If you come across a package that you can not easily fix, add it to http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Python_Todo_List#Packages… and I will take a look at it. Have fun, Allan
