There have been a lot of changes going on to the repos and ABS needs
updated to reflect these. As it see it the following need fixed:
1) arch=('any') support
Fix commited to git
2) split package support
Currently the PKGBUILD is only found in /var/abs/$repo/$pkgbase. This
would make it difficult to find a split package directly. Should the
db-scripts add symlinks from $pkgbase to ${pkgname[@]}? That would have
a bonus effect of reserving at the split package names.
3) community support
I can see this being achieved in two ways
- svn2abs is run on sigurd then rsynced to gerolde
- svn2abs is run directly on gerolde (requires complete svn checkout on
gerolde)
The second is easier but uses a bit more resources.
4) community-testing support. Comes directly as part of #3 but will
need to be added to the abs.conf file
So should we do anything for #2 (requires changes to db-scripts) and
which is the best way to go for #3?
