So I haven't heard what it is we're doing yet with the new "core" repo setup and such? Alex? Armin? Any thoughts or directives?
Ok, here's the current status of my preparations: * I have written a nifty little script which should handle the shuffling of cvs entries and packages. * Modified /arch/db* and webdb/interface scripts to work with core and <arch> tags in packagenames. * Built new pacman, gcc & gcc-libs versions. My thoughts on how to do the move: * backup cvs-{extra,current} and scripts * move new scripts in place * create cvs-core, ftp-dir, ~/staging/core/{add,del} * run my migration script (takes 5-20 min I guess) * it will put the repos (core,extra) to /tmp, do a quick check and move them into place * run /arch/db-{core,extra}. * check core/{base,devel} packages for their correct groups, rebuild if necessary * fix & release installer * remove everything from current, put pacman, libarchive & libdownload packages with the <ppc> tag stripped from the pkgname in there to ensure backward-compatibility. This is a better solution than a symlink to core imo. * announce How do we handle the various kernels (pmac,prep,powerstack)? kernel26-pmac should go to base, will prep & powerstack have their own core/kernels dir? -Armin
