Status update:
Aaron just contacted me via Jabber. Due to time constraint as it's becoming late, the move will happen tomorrow.
Thanks Eric. Additionally, I added 'db-move' which is a generalization of Pierre's testing2extra script. db-move, testing2extra, and testing2core are all in /arch-new if you want to test them.
I tried to use testing2core but it didn't work. It's the first time I use a script to do that so I might be doing it wrong. First, I did the usual archrelease stuff locally. Then I logged on gerolde and:
$ /arch/testing2core licenses bzip2 ==> Moving package 'licenses' Checked out revision 1848. Error: licenses is not in repo testing ==> Moving package 'bzip2' Checked out revision 1848. Error: bzip2 is not in repo testing
Did I had to copy the packages in the staging directories before? Or is it something else? I eventually did it manually and that worked.
Ah, yeah - those scripts mean you don't have to do anything locally. If it's in testing, just connect to gerolde and run "testing2core" It's only one step.
Also, I noticed that the new db script no longer removes the files in the staging/${repo}64/* directories. I know it'll be a moot issues when the devtools package will be updated but, instead of copying the packages to staging/${repo}/*, can't it just move them there? Of course, if devtools is planned to be updated soon then you can ignore this request.
Ah yeah, I overlooked that. Right now I copy files from the *64 dirs to the non-suffixed ones. I guess I could 'mv' them to cover all the bases
Updated the scripts: fixed db-remove usage output use 'mv' to transfer from staging64
Updated "removing" and "move to another repo" here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:HOWTO_Be_A_Packager
Please take a look when you get a chance
Looks reasonable to me
