I guess I forgot some explanation, huh? Jason covered most of it in the old thread, but I will regurgitate: The new devtools package (incoming soonish) contains a few real tiny tools. The first of these is "archco". You use it to checkout and update a single package. Now, you don't have to do this, but a full checkout takes some time... Anyway, say I run "archco openssh". I then cd openssh/trunk/, make the PKGBUILD edits, and commit them. The trunk, however, does nothing. It's just the master copy. Now what we do is run "archrelease core-i686". Alternatively, I can run "extrapkg" and it will do this step for me. So then the package is uploaded via extrapkg, and I run the db scripts as I used to. However, this time they take a tad longer. The svn export is a little more weighty than before. I may change it to use a permanent checkout per user (say at ~/.dbscripts/checkout or something) to make it much faster, but that's less important than actual functionality right now. Let me know if I got all this right, and I covered everything enough for you all.
