Here is a list I made to help keep track of the status of issues in the 3.5.0 release that I thought may be on use to others....
Fixed:
(No FS#) - reading from stdin and piping "yes" - Fix in git
FS#23307 - [makepkg] unexpected EOF error when parenthesis are used in optdepends description - Fix attached to bug report (on Allan's working branch)
FS#23314 - [pacman] segfault when a database includes deltas - Fix attached to bug report (Dan to clean up)
FS#23315 - Makepkg gives fatal error if locale isn't set to en_US.utf8 - Fix identified in bug report. Requires adjustment to translation
FS#23325 - libalpm links to many libraries - "Fix" to workaround libtool bug on mailing list
FS#23342 - --ignore'ing a package given in the arg list - Fix on mailing list (on Allan's working branch)
FS#23343 - Pacman does not set world readable permissions on db files (obeys umask instead) - Fix attached to bug report (on Allan's working branch)
Bug remaining to be fixed:
FS#23340 - Group selection mechanism and -Sp - is this a case of excess output, or should the selection of packages be able to be performed with -Sp? I guess the former given the -Sp is intended to be used in scripts?
FS#23322 - zsh autocompletion no longer works with pacman 3.5 - The zsh autocompletion file has not been updated in a while. Do we have a zsh user that wants to tackle this?
(No FS#) - pacman -{S,U,R} --help does not show -p (only --print) - Was this deliberate to keep it beside the --print-format line?
How about: - usage message does not show "-T" (this is not a new bug, actually) - difference in handling "-v" and "--debug", if this is even really to be called a bug at all ( http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2011-March/012693.html) I don't see FS open for either of these. I'll do so if you want.
