pacman does... "pacman -Ss perl-set-infinite" makes it quite clear that this package is in [community].
that's still manually. that's yet another command I have to type.
One of the old perl package generators used to give a error if a package was already in the repo so it can be done.
I know it can be done. but it's not been implemented here yet. I suppose I can look into it... but that could take a while, if you want it now... patches to CPANPLUS::Dist::Arch are welcome >:) . While I'm at it I'm going to make it automagically flag your packages out of date so I don't have to do that anymore either.
We had issues with people adopting a bunch of packages and deleting them. So this is not going to happen.
shame that people have to ruin something like that. Have a queue delete button that will delete the files after like a week or something. Then have an interface that allows you to reject deletions and block them from the queue... or... you could just have it where it allows you to approve each one. It would at least save us all from emailing. I notice you didn't respond to the idea that aur rejects them instead... since aur will reject a package I don't own if it's on aur. why not just reject any package that's in any of the other repo's for the same reason.
So make you a TU so you can clean up your frequent mistakes... does not sound a convincing argument! :P
It wasn't meant to be. If someone eventually decides to talk to me about it, I'll consider it at that time. I'm not asking, it wasn't a serious statement. AUR actually works well enough for me to contribute in what I believe is a meaningful manner. AUR is great. -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com
