Re: [pacman-dev] [PATCH 1/1] always accept untranslated answers 'Y' and 'N'

[Florian Weigelt]

"Yes" in Swahili it is "Ndiyo", in Arabic it's "Na'am", Greek is "Nai", ...
apt on Ubuntu allows to answer with "J" for "Yes" on a German locale.
But I am not sure if apt unconditionally allows to answer with "Y/N". In
general I think it's a bad idea. Either allow localized input only, or
Y/N only.

Re: [pacman-dev] [PATCH] Make sure all proper scripts are installed instead of the wrappers

[Florian Weigelt]

I can confirm Johannes' patch solves the described issue. Thanks.

[pacman-dev] building from git erroneous

[Florian Weigelt]

Building from commit fa06951d90fee028ece95fc7caab39fc7d35d55f generates
the scripts pacman-db-upgrade, pacman-key and pkgdelta in the form
DIR="/path/to/builddir/src/pacman/scripts"

LIBRARY="$DIR"/libmakepkg exec "$DIR"/.lib/pacman-key "$@"

so they hold a reference to the build directory. Building pacman with
makepkg triggers the "reference to $srcdir" warning. However, I haven't
bisected the latest commits yet.
