[aur-general] status moving to official db scripts?
Hi TUs, You may remember that we voted to move the community repo to use the official db scripts but not much has happened. Can I get a status update on what is happening with AUR support for this? That is the major hold-up. Allan

Actually, the major holdup is probably me. I'm going to have to do the svn conversion, and give all the TUs shell accounts on gerolde, and am trying to think of a clean way to do it. But, I guess you're right that the AUR needs some sort of changes in order to be able to do this.

Maybe we must only edit run-tupkgupdate and communitypkg on AUR? (not sure of this) -- Andrea `BaSh` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer

Well, those will not be needed at all once the switch is made. The decision on whether to include [community] packages on the AUR interface after the switch, or even extend it to all packages was the main issue. I think it was decided that they were to be included, so I was wanting to know who is doing the coding and what the progress is. Allan

It should be a simple matter of extending the "dummy package" process already used for core/extra, and adding some fun stuff to actually make them show up.
