[aur-general] uploading binary packages / makepkg.conf files
Hi, I'll be taking over Nexuiz from Swiergot and I'm working on tidying up and updating the PKGBUILD right now. (related issue: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=69617) Is there any way to build the package on the community upload server? There is a single PKGBUILD for both architectures and I have access to both x86_64 and i686 Arch systems but the binary package is about 600 MB and my ADSL upload speed is pathetic. Uploading 2 * 600 MB will take ages (at least 3.5 hours with full bandwidth saturation, which cripples other networking). I only ask because the TU checklist states "Ask Aaron for access to the x86_64 build machine if you need it (when it comes back online) " which leads me to believe that there might be build machines for both architectures. I haven't found any information about this in the wiki (AURTools Tutorial, TU Guidelines, etc). Sorry if I've missed something obvious. A related question: what's the easiest way to switch between different makepkg.conf files? I currently have CFLAGS specific to my processor in makepkg.conf and I would like to avoid changing the file every time I compile a pkg for uploading. The best solution that I can think of so far is to create a script to swap makepkg.conf files but that feels kludgy. Actually, I'll probably just submit a feature request for a "--config" option. *hopes his questions aren't embarassingly stupid* Regards, Xyne

That option is available in git. Also, have a look at this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_Clean_Chroot Allan
