There's nothing like writing php code in the dead hours of the night when you're stoked on sugar. That being said, I finally integrated my pkgbuild parsing code into a (almost completely) rewritten pkgsubmit.php. Here are some highlights (off the top of my head):

- Now uses PEAR::Archive_Tar - Integrates my previous pkgbuild parsing script - Any GNU/Tar file will work, including .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2 - Raw PKGBUILDs may be submitted as well (and only PKGBUILDs. PKGBUILDs that come with patches, install scripts, etc will need to be archived) - Absolutely ZERO exec/system commands

There are some major and small changes to the submission process as well: - PKGBUILDs are thoroughly checked against Arch Packaging Standards (surprise surprise) - Uploaded archives are assumed to be correct (e.g. files in foo/PKGBUILD, foo/foo.install, etc), else rejected - The comment box has been removed. I've never seen the reason to always have to write "Initial upload" for a package - Overwrite option is gone. We check for permissions anyway, hence it's redundant

There are some other tiny changes that just make the process a bit easier, but I'll leave that to your discovery. And now for the hard part, testing. I only got a handful of responses for my previous request, but I'm crossing my fingers this time. I've set up an adequate test site here:

http://aur.nagi-fanboi.net

Testers will probably need to register an account (just like in AUR), then submit packages.

Possible bugs: - When I tried this on a local setup, uploaded files have 0600. The testing site maintains permissions, but I'm not sure what it is for the real AUR - Apparently there has to be a AUR syncdb script that moves files from INCOMING_DIR to URL_DIR. If someone can point me in the right direction for this, I'd be grateful (currently I'm reading from INCOMING_DIR)

Since this not just any bugfix, but quite a rewrite, feedback is important. I'd like to open this up to discussion =]
