While there is nothing critical, all bugfixes already fixed in git are nice to have, but there are especially two that keep getting reported : makepkg: fix download functions with weird urls http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=pacman.git;a=commit;h=9bc799ec7b1718e6d90ce... Fix creation of source package with local source files http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=pacman.git;a=commit;h=57bd8974c73571d827617... So the sooner, the better :) The only pending patches are the following ones : pacman/callback.c : fix detection of totaldownload http://shining.toofishes.net/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=pacman.git;a=commit;h=4f563... Fix error when sourcing profile script http://dev.archlinux.org/~allan/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=pacman.git;a=commitdiff;... And eventually this one : Allow sync200 pactest to pass without libdownload. http://shining.toofishes.net/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=pacman.git;a=commitdiff;h=6... This last one also shows how to use curl as XferCommand in pacman.conf, which is nice because it handles file:// protocol.
