Hey guys, do *NOT* try these out quite yet. Removing packages from a db results in a segfault that leaves it on the web db, which will quickly desync it and make a mess. http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10114
Bah, how often do we remove packages anyway. It's still fine for upgrades - the "do *NOT*" warning is jumping the gun. I will fix this when I get a chance.
Everytime we remove something from testing to move it to core/extra. Due to the signoff rule, that happens a lot.
/usr/bin/communitypkg is merely a symlink to /usr/bin/extrapkg, and extrapkg has the svn commit lines instead of the CVS lines needed for community. I'm not sure if this is "bug worthy", but I opened a bug in community packages so TU's have a reference:

To all TU's, either downgrade or don't upgrade devtools until this can be fixed. I mean, you could always use "cvs commit".
Good catch. I didn't even pick up on that one. Now the kicker - how quickly can I/we get the community daemon converted vs putting out a new devtools package? Which way should we go?
Instead of a symlink, use the old (CVS-)extrapkg as communitypkg. That will effectively fix communitypkg, so you can take your time to convert community. As I understand you, no work has been done on that yet.
