This is just a quick note for devs regarding pacman 3 (specifically makepkg) package naming. We eventually are switching to a scheme where the arch is tacked on to the package name, and makepkg 3 names packages this by default. However, this breaks backwards compatibility with pacman 2.9.8 and down, so we cannot do this in the official repos yet. Here is one way to quickly fix this (as a bash function): makeoldname() { mv $1 "${1%-*.pkg.tar.gz}.pkg.tar.gz" } JGC also suggested that you can just edit makepkg for now and have it output the old-style name. Finally, what is a good timetable for changing the uploaded package names? If we treat pacman a bit special and always name it without an arch, people will always be able to upgrade to it, and from there do a full sysupgrade. -Dan
