[arch-dev-public] moving to pacbuild
This is one of those things that's not gonna get done until someone does it. For a trial (until we determine if it hurts us), I want to try and install pacbuild on gerolde. I think, however, it needs a good ol' -Syu, which I'll probably leave in more capable hands (though we need to make sure we don't break django with python2.5, heh). It should be easy to setup and apple daemon on there, then we need to get some build machines together. I have one here I can use, and can probably be sneaky about it and use one of the arch machines at work. We'd still need some x86_64 build machines, but that can't be all that hard. If there's a problem with putting this on gerolde at this stage, I _could_ open up my home machine for a while. Jason, is there anything blocking us from using pacbuild right now? - Aaron

The entire site runs fine on python2.5 in my local test environment. I don't know about stuff like mailman though (that's in python too.. isn't it?). The AUR daemons should be fine as well. Leave the -Syu to Dale, at least if he breaks it he can kick it without getting up :)

I've got an i686 box too. -S

I've got an i686 box (or maybe even two) I can use as a build machine. Let me know what I have to do to get it set up. -Dan
Jason, is there anything blocking us from using pacbuild right now?
2 things, I want to release a package that actually works (which I'm pretty sure I can do now) and people actually would have to use it. We'd have to figure out how to integrate it into our workflow (or if we'll just do spot compiles to exercise it). Jason

Ok, so we can hold off until the next release then?

True, but that all starts with getting it set up. We can philosophize all we want, but at some point we need to just "do". Any idea on when you will make the next release?

Probably be a good idea there.

It's true. I'm not saying it's a bad idea, I'm just saying with a plan people will have no reason to change how they're currently using it.

I'm going to try to get it out by the end of next week. Jason
