I'm reading here but don't have much time for playing with it these days. Tell me when the true testing begins so I can switch over using it for daily pkg building.
Two small questions:
1) Do you recommend or is it required to mark the arch with "" around as Jan is adding it always - arch=("i686") or simply arch=(i686)?
Either works, first of all. But in our documentation we are trying to be pretty consistent with saying arch=('i686').
2) Will we get an option to makepkg.conf to set the desired compression gz/bz2 (+ compression level?). I still think it would make sense to use bzip though it eats more cpu time.
With 3.0, not yet. However, this is quite doable, and it is probably worth implementing even if we don't switch the default. -Dan
