Would it be possible to (temporarily) add jpng to the list for gerolde? That way we can use "/arch/db-update jpng" to add packages to the repo and have all the safety measures the db-scripts bring instead of manually using repo-add.
Any objections? Allan
Does not soud like a bad idea.
I added jpng as an "approved repo" for gerolde. It add packages there: 1) create ~/staging/jpng on gerolde 2) upload using: commitpkg jpng "message" 3) on gerolde: /arch/db-update jpng
I have added the repo to https://www.archlinux.de/?page=Packages;repository=7 and the diff list at https://www.archlinux.de/?page=ArchitectureDifferences Maybe that is of any help.
I did not know that we need to patch some/many package to be build with the new libpng. However: Do you think we can merge that repo into testing once the most important packages are done? I fear we'll start to block each other or do unnecessary rebuilds soon. We are also working on kde-unstable (on top of testing) which should be merged into extra at the first week of February.
It all depends how many people help with the rebuild... The last few rebuilds have been done by only two or three people. We could get through most of this in a day or two if people helped out. Allan
