So I finally pushed the core readline/bash packages to testing. The reason it took so long was a) a mkinitcpio issue which was fixed a few weeks in, and b) the fact that I couldn't keep up with the extra packages in my limited freetime. So, I've just built the core packages, and put them in testing for a signoff. These packages are: bash readline device-mapper heimdal inetutils lvm2 sqlite3 There are LOTS of packages in extra and community that need rebuilds. The original output from Allan's script is as follows: abiword-plugins abook afterstep amule bc cdcd clisp ecasound evms fluidsynth freeciv fvwm fvwm-devel genius gftp gnokii gnuchess gnupg gnupg2 gnuplot gnutls gphoto2 guile gutenprint hugs98 jack-audio-connection-kit kdeedu koffice lftp libgda libqalculate librep libxml2 lua maxima mono-debugger mysql-clients ntp ocfs2-tools octave pal parted php pilot-link postgresql postgresql-libs python python24 r ruby smbclient socat swi-prolog texlive-bin tftp-hpa twinkle uml_utilities unixodbc vice wvstreams xine-ui I'm going to slowly work through these throughout the day, but if someone can help, that'd be great. Let me know if I broke anything - been using bash 4 for some time with little or no problems
