Hi all,
There has been talk about what is needed/wanted for the future of devtools and db-scripts but not much done lately. So I thought I would get together a list of ideas so we could perhaps do a coding sprint to implement them. Here is what I have got so far:
devtools - split-PKGBUILDs with (supported in future pacman): -> both binary and arch=any packages -> overridden pkgver -> overridden pkgrel (and only selected sub-packages) - support for xz compression (nothing needed?)
db-scripts - support for xz compression transition (e.g. in clean-up script) - support for single "package" directory with symlinks to repos - allow db-move to handle multiple packages (or add a script to help moving from community-testing) - delta support...
Any others?
db-scripts - support for moving packages from community to extra. single "package" directory it will help and is a matter of svn commit the proper files. -- Ionut
