Please check /var/log/sourceballs/ to see if some of your packages are there. These failures cause a slow down of the script. The script now runs in 30 min compared to the few hours it took when I first started the tests. Please post here if you can fix your packages sometime this week. If not, post anyway.  This way we'll know what packages are taken care off.

BTW, fssos-nsvs will need to be rebuild to fix the license among other things. But it doesn't build anymore (latest version is from 2005). I have an updated PKGBUILD if you want to give it a shot. And I'm upgrading openal so leave that to me.

If you are interested (and have time) in helping out for steps 2 & 3 that I mentionned earlier in this thread, post here. This way we'll know who will work on this and we'll be able to organize ourselves. You can count me in although an upcoming faad2 rebuild (and perhaps an ffmpeg/x264 update/rebuild) will probably take most of my time this week.

A week has passed and still no volunteers?  Anyway, I've kept myself busy lately by updating out-of-date orphaned packages, fixing their licenses and other stuff as needed. I 've also started fixing the packages in /var/log/sourceballs/.

Changing the subject and ML to make this more visible Please take a look at the packages that fail in /var/log/sourceballs If any of your packages are there, please fix them so that "makepkg --allsource" works. Additionally, please check ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/sources/failed.txt ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/sources/errors.txt [1] for additional failures 1: This output sucks. I've committed a fix for it, but it's not released
