We are close to release, folks. Anything else outstanding that is critical?
Hm well, nothing critical, but I thought there were several things that needed to be taken care of before the release, and not much happened during these last two weeks (sorry, I didn't have much time). 1) not important, easy to fix: * -Ru patch from Nagy is ready for quite a while, and it doesn't change any existing behavior, it just adds a new feature (however, it adds a new message to be translated) -> my unneeded branch 2) more important, easy to fix: * testdb is broken I fixed this on my testdb branch, and also added conflicts checking. nothing intrusive. * one memleak from Nathan was apparently ignored : http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2007-December/0104 and also, a little and good patch for ignorepkg : http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2007-December/0104 both pushed to my working branch 3) important, hard to fix: * the backup handling is in a poor situation : http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2007-December/010439.html http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2007-December/003868.html (with 3.1 , reinstalling filesystem makes the .pacnew appear though) * another weird issue with directory symlinks http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2007-December/010451.html these two areas are my favorites (read: this really pisses me off).
