Hi Devs/TU's,

Why do we still have the renaming of packages in community so that packages are uploaded without the '-arch' in the filename? Official repo's were converted a while back, any reason were not editing communitypkg to do the same?

I don't know if AUR backend is able to handle packages with -arch suffix. I asked Paul about this quite some time ago, but didn't recieve a reply AFAIR. Simo, can you take a look at this?

Sorry, thought I replied to this.

np.

It doesn't handle the -arch suffix.

oh, bad, that should be fixed.... -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
