Every day we get new bugreports of perl not working because a symlink got overwritten. This is a bug in pacman that has been fixed according to git, but there's still no new release with this fix. Any drawbacks of applying http://projects.archlinux.org/git/?p=pacman.git;a=commit;h=7a42e24400499873c 3b9e1e2315edc808d753734 to the current version of pacman?
I'd need some other input here, but we actually rewrote the whole part dealing with this so I don't know if this patch as it stands will fix all the problems without introducing new ones. It may work in the short term, however.
Thoughts on a 3.0.6 release with the locale issue and this issue fixed, and then focusing on 3.1? It has been a bit tough for me to juggle real life with pacman, so I don't tend to worry about bugfix releases anymore unless it is something really serious.
I like this idea of a 3.0.6 that doesn't involve a lot more work but just releases these fixes. I'd be happy to help test a 3.0.6 package. - P
