There is a bug on the current AUR because the new chmodding stuff does no error checks so if a PKGBUILD is invalid in any way the AUR will start chmodding all package dirs hosted. PHP kills the script before it's done but it can't be good for the server and there is no feedback on what happened for the user. I think we're gonna have to do another release soon. Thoughts? -- Callan Barrett

Oops, is this my patch? :) 2 things: * Frequent releases aren't a bad thing. * Do we even need this chmod() stuff? We seemed to do fine for a few weeks without anything being rejiggered, so maybe we don't need it at all? -Dan

I might make a release tonight then. I haven't been able to talk to Loui so I assume he has some sort of life and is doing Christmas, I'll just have to make it without him. I haven't actually done a release myself yet so fingers crossed I don't screw it up. -- Callan Barrett
