Hi everyone,
With the release of pacman 3.1.2 I was reminded to get around to putting a pacman-contrib package into AUR/community like I said I would [1]. I have categorized the files in the contrib directory below.
Utilities: pacdiff pacsearch re-pacman (needs some updates? [2]) wget-xdelta.sh
vim: PKGBUILD.vim vimproject (needs updated - developer use only)
Included in pacman package: bash_completion zsh_completion
Old: gensync updatesync
I think the pacman-contib package should only include pacdiff, pacserach, re-pacman, PKGBUILD.vim. I did a very quick review of the files to check if they still work with the current pacman. As far as I can tell pacdiff and pacsearch don't need updated. I will look into updating re-pacman as I don't see any commits to this file since [2]. No idea about the status with PKGBUILD.vim - I don't use vim for PKGBUILDs so can someone else comment here.
Any comments on the status of these scripts or list of scripts to be included?
There is a script for coloured pacman output somewhere on BBS. You can also include one of repo/cache cleanup scripts (based on filename matches) that available on ML and BBS. (and adding to git would be nice) -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
