It would be great to get the package pool stuff pushed before the "great python transition of 2010". In short: we are ready to go. I just need some admin to setup the dirs on gerolde and sigurd. (maybe rsync needs to be adjusted, too)
Btw: I plan to add better support for moving or adding a large number of packages at the same time. This is needed to make these moves more or less atomic. For example you'll be able to pipe a list of packages into db-move: $ cat python-rebuild.txt | db-move - testing extra i686 Ideally we would have some kind of transactions; but that's not easy to implement. At least due to package pooling db-move became quite cheap as there is no need to move big pacakges around. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
