Hi! I noticed, that with fileconflict*.py the .FILELISTs of generated packages isn't generated correctly: the symlinks are missing. So we can ignore the results of these pactests now.

.FILELIST was killed off ages ago. I think even before pacman 3.0

Considering you tracked this bug down, could you maybe... I dunno, even give us some sort of source line or something if you're not going to provide a patch?

Um...I've thought it should be killed off, but that really wasn't done. http://projects.archlinux.org/git/?p=pacman.git;a=blob;f=scripts/makepkg.sh....

It is true that we no longer require it for pacman. Has it been long enough then that we can safely remove it from makepkg (meaning there are no holdovers from 2.9.8 that we want to worry about)?

Oh yes, I am merging two things here. We removed "filelist" generation from makepkg, and skipped the dependence on .FILELIST in pacman itself. I'd say we can get rid of the generation in makepkg and always generate it on install. It makes more sense to me. Additionally, regarding non-3.0 holdovers: they're screwed anyway with current/core rename and all that, so they're non-issues.
