That's right, I made such a rebuild script. But I'm not really sure if I have it any longer. Have to check it at home. It was a hackish bash script which increased the pkgrel variable and rebuild the package, that's all. We have to use the package() function and to remove the ||return 1 stuff. I don't think that do this job with a script is a good idea.

Anyway, count on me for this rebuild.

Dito, could help also. Btw: We put it into testing first anyway, so the permission to move them to core is not really a blocker here.

Allan, how do we chosse packages? I could easily do a query like "show me all packages which are older than xx" etc.. Just let me know.

I have a list that I will put somewhere with all packages that are not .xz format (except those that need to stay .gz) and not in the package pool directory sorted by date since last built. I will dump it to a TODO list/wiki page at some stage.

I'd say just create a todo list and maybe create a check list about what to do with those packages then. (e.g. package functions, removing || return 1 or look for an update in general.) -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
