This is a dual signoff. I have split the pacman mirrorlist into its own package because 1) Pacman releases are not all that common (because its perfect software, of course!) 2) Our packaged mirrorlist often lags waaay behind the actual one in SVN, because I find it a waste to rebuild pacman just for mirrorlist changes. This will prevent that.
I don't actually run pacman, so 2 signoffs per arch would be wonderful. In addition, PLEASE let me know if anything goes awry during a normal upgrade process. This could include mirrorlist not being written to pacsave, mirrorlist disappearing, etc.

Upgrade went fine here. The old mirrorlist is moved to a .pacorig instead of the new one being saved as a .pacsave, but I think this is what we should expect. I had a suspicion the new mirrorlist might have been removed when the pacman package was upgraded but it appears pacman is smarter than I thought.... ;) (1/2) installing pacman-mirrorlist [#####################] 100% warning: /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist saved as /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacorig (2/2) upgrading pacman [#####################] 100% warning: /etc/pacman.conf installed as /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew Optional dependencies for pacman fakeroot: for makepkg usage as normal user python: for rankmirrors script usage We might want to post a news item because many people would not have seen a .pacorig before. It also means people actually have to do merging to keep their mirror settings. Signoff i686. Allan
