Pacman 3.2.0 is in testing for i686. Please signoff. Changes outlined here: http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=pacman.git;a=blob;f=NEWS
Can someone build it for x86_64? Thanks.
On a side note, I'm gone for most of this upcoming weekend, so you may want to wait until next week to move this to core even if it has the requisite signoffs unless you guys want to put out any fires.

Is there a certain reason why pacman.static has been removed? I used it a lot when playing with glibc upgrades that often break the dynamic pacman. Is there any replacement?
Can you back up this claim? If you uninstall glibc, you are f**ked. pacman.static (and every other binary on your system minus those statically linked against klibc) will not run. I know this from doing it by accident on my Eee. :) If someone wants to do a "replacement", feel free. Let me know who wants to maintain the pacman package and build it in the PKGBUILD. I really have no desire to both hack on the code and package it for Arch- I see them as two completely different things. Travis did in fact find the thread where this all came up on pacman-dev and no one had complaints against it from that side of the fence: http://archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2008-July/012348.html -Dan
