A while back I started working on a feature to add VCS url capabilities to makepkg, based on a whitepaper I published on this list.
https://gitorious.org/parabola/pacman/commits/lukeshu-fix Shortly after I began, the upstream pacman devs started working on a similar feature. Their implementation contains good code--ideally I'd replace my download_$VCS() methods with theirs (we even chose the same function names, how 'bout that!). However, the general design of our implementations differ. I made minimal modifications to makepkg itself, and added an external `vcsget` tool that spits out tarballs. I believe that mine is better design. This is not the important part; their design does not allow for checking source integrity--an important requirement for Parabola. So, it'd be awesome if you guys would test my version. It's available as 'pacman-lukeshu' from the [~lukeshu] repo. ~ Luke Shumaker _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.parabolagnulinux.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
