[arch-ports] Arch64 package release variable
Hey, Two things, first Seshu, I can't seem to authenticate to SVN -- I can log in with ssh (public key still not working, but that's not important), but svn rejects the same password as I use for ssh. Second, how do we address the pkgrel variables in arch64 packages? Do they borrow from the 32 bit rel, or should we start over from 1? For example, if I add a package that I copied the PKGBUILD from 32 bit current, and it is at pkgrel 5, do I put it in at pkgrel 5, or pkgrel 1? I'm gessing 1. Oh, a third thing, now that I'm here.... putting compiled binaries in the httpd directory, are we supposed to remove previous versions of the binary, or does that get done automatically with some script? thank ye, Dusty

i've just been leaving the numbers as they are. sometimes if there is a new version of some program or something available and the old one isn't compiling i'll give the new version a try, but other than that i just stick to the same numbers

you have to delete the old version. xentac also gave me a few things to make regenerating the dbs easier. a patched gensync so you don't need the pkgbuilds and just the packages. also i got a script for syncing with svn, its supposed to be like abs it uses wget to sync get the latest pkgbuilds from the svn repo. i'll build a new pacman package with the changes soon... also forgot to mention i recompiled pekwm today and it worked fine for me. still haven't recompiled xorg or the nvidia driver, i've been trying to get orbit2 to work.
the server migration is complete. I will be bringing down my server temporarily. When i bring it back up i will mirror the packages at arch64.org. here is a list of the new links: homepage: http://www.arch64.org viewcvs: http://www.arch64.org/viewcvs/ subversion: https://svn.arch64.org/svn/Arch64 also if you were using sftp to upload packages before you must now use arch64.org, just place packages in ~/current or ~/extra like before. I'd like to thank c14n for doing this. - syamajala
