commit 104c5bc90e259028f5c9352a32f8976aa0f95a8d Author: Levente Polyak
Date: Sat Nov 30 13:13:49 2019 +0100 makechrootpkg: sync database for checkpkg to avoid nonexistent targets
For build servers or similar infrastructure its relatively common to not sync/update the database regularly. This leads to problems properly running checkpkg duo to nonexistent target files that we try to download. As building on build servers is a very common use case, lets ensure we sync the local database before trying to resolve the package locations.
This commit means that devtools is not suitable for installation on any archlinux system (including the systems owned and maintained by Developers and Trusted Users) other than the single build server which you've declared to be a common, yet not exclusive, use case of devtools. One can solve the problem with outdated databases by regularly updating, or by having dragon.archlinux.org do a periodic pacman -Sy and relying on devops to not break the box by using pacman -S without -u. Devtools is now a direct cause of noncompliance with https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/System_maintenance#Partial_upgrades_are..., and this will affect both users who follow the recommended best practices to build/test AUR packages using extra-x86_64-build, as well as Developers and Trusted Users who prefer to build on their own hardware, but do not expect running extra-x86_64-build to sneakily modify their pacman database out from under them. Please revert. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
