We should finally have proper aliases for these. Like packages-submit.archlinux.org and community-submit.archlinux.org.
what is the purpose of those?
Hostnames for subversion and package upload that devtools can use. This is the umpteenth time that the host name changes - these aliases would solve this problem transparently.
We can also use a config file for devtools programs instead of have config vars harcoded in scripts.
The hostnames are "hardcoded" in your subversion checkout - and migrating the checkout is annoying, because subversion sucks. So true.
Why are you guys arguing against having two extra DNS CNAMEs to make everyone's lives easier?
I'm not arguing against! This DNS trick is a good idea (so please do it), but I _also_ suggest to have config files in devtools. Cheers, -- Sébastien "Seblu" Luttringer https://www.seblu.net GPG: 0x2072D77A
