[arch-dev-public] extra x86_64 database breakage (graphviz maintainer please fix it)
This is a problem in our current version of initscripts: If a package is added in staging, but the PKGBUILD shows an older version, the package and database data become inconsistent: $ cat /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra/graphviz-2.16.1-3/desc %FILENAME% graphviz-2.18-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz %NAME% graphviz %VERSION% 2.16.1-3 %DESC% Creates acircular graph images %CSIZE% 1304315 %MD5SUM% 47e014aa4dc7f3976db49ede4621af97 %FORCE% This causes problems during the upgrade. Please be more careful until our dbscripts have more checks included and never forget to add the PKGBUILD properly.

Weird... this should be checked, but maybe I fugged it up with the dbscripts changes. Ah, well, I'm rewriting them anyway.

Still not fixed, I fixed those errors several times, but won't do it now to increase the maintainer's awareness of the problem.

No, I fucked it up when I moved our scripts to the -$ARCH suffix. Or it was fucked up before.

Make it fast. :)

FTR, I reported that problem a few days ago: http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2008-April/005726.html Unfortunately, graphviz is not the only package with this problem.

I will make it my sole priority this week. I am partially waiting for Eliott's backend changes to move to gerolde. I dunno is reporead.py is on there or not - when it is, then I will be gung-ho about this.
