Just a quick update: The bugcatcher is here - http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6316 I would like to close the following as soon as possible: * http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/4514 undocumented makepkg options * http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/5887 removing a package on a readonly filesystem * http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/5775 dependency issues * http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/5388 -S and -Su respecting option=(force) The other two feature requests on there: * http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/5909 redownload on corrupt package * http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/5571 the contentious -A/-U to -I request These will most likely be deferred for the moment. There are a few other backend things which need to be done before an official release (devtools, arch/scripts/ changes, gensync and updatesync), but we can still push along the release schedule without those changes (well, gensync and updatesync are important). Annnnyway. Here's the rundown. I want to close out the 4 bugs about ASAP and push out a new RC for you all to test with. I would love it if someone could test both 5887 and 5775, and let me know the results. I will see what i can do about the -S/-Su check AND makepkg documentation in the next few hours. If there are any pending issues not mentioned here, not mentioned here, now is the time to bring them up. Thanks!
