Ok, so this ran for all repos. I blacklisted a few known bad ones (bash and readline, the mirror used for the source is borked), and the following huge list of packages failed: http://dev.archlinux.org/~aaron/sources/failed.pkgs Take a second and scan these please - if you can, please correct the source. As Eric pointed out elsewhere, we can merge source change from trunk with archrelease, without the need to re-release the package (this will fix abs too)
