Yeah, we have a lot of "source not found" issues in extra too. I was working on the source tarball generation script a little today, and am going to configure it to dump to the ML when source is not found. great, I didn't know if you know that :)

Just a quick question for ya though - what is pacbuilder? Is it an automated build tool? Yes, pacbuilder is a tool to massively recompile archlinux packages from sources http://code.google.com/p/pacbuilder/

If so, I think gcc and gcc-libs have odd bootstrapping requirements when building. Perhaps Jan or Andy can enlighten us a little? Ok, I'm waiting a reply of Jan/Andy

gcc-libs and gcc failures will probably be due to needing a de_DE locale. From their PKGBUILDS:

if ! locale -a | grep ^de_DE; then echo "You need the de_DE locale to build gcc." return 1 fi

German conspiracy? :-) Seriously - why does it _require_ exactly that license? :-)

German conspiracy... gcc checks for a bug in the de_DE locale to see if it can enable --clocale=gnu. Older versions of glibc have this bug. If de_DE is not enabled, this check triggers the wrong result and --clocale=gnu is not set.

Hi ML, I'm trying to rebuild core repo with pacbuilder and I watched some packages doesn't rebuild from PKGBUILD

packages list:

cpio: make fail device-mapper: source tarball not found gcc: make fail gcc-libs: make fail iptables: make fail libldap: make fail libpcap: source tarball not found lvm2: source tarball not found ntfs-3g: source tarball not found popt: connection refused wpa_supplicant: require kernel<2.6.26 !!!

for some of these the problem is easy to solve, the others I think need patch for gcc4.3
