FadeMind, I'm a little unclear: is there something here I need to fix? I just did `pacman -Rsn downgrade && aurget -S downgrade` and did not receive any warnings.

warning: could not get file information for foo/bar.mo just mean: FILE foo/bar.mo is included in package foobar-12.01-2 BUT pacman can't find it during upgrading proccess. tl;dr: IF You using bleachbit for removing not needed language files, then this will show up as warning.

Seems reasonable. I'll put this on my list of TODOs. If you're feeling particularly generous, opening such a change as a PR on GitHub would be wonderful :)

In the "AUR-Wikipage"[0] and "Arch Packaging Standards"[1] they describe what a tarball should contain. And there were on AUR-General ML some topics on that (over the years)[2][3][4] (I point to posts, where they try to describe the term binary in case of interpreted languages). And since it's more or less the whole project in there I suppose it's too much. What would it mean for your PKGBuild? Just minor changes: https://gist.github.com/Narrat/b7dd7fd0658e6e13f208#file-downgrade-pkgbuild One minor notice to your makefile. Instead of the "sed'ing + makepkg --geninteg" you could use "updpkgsums" (comes with pacman) and is doing the same. ______ [0] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR#Sharing_and_maintaining_packages [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_packaging_standards [2] https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2010-December/012342.html [3] https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2012-December/021380.html [4] https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2012-December/021290.html _____ Edit: gist-url not working

TrialnError, I had not heard that discussion or that it's a best practice to not include sources in the taurball anymore. Do you have a link? It's easy enough to change things to work the other way if there's a compelling reason to do so. As a sidenote - tagging releases in a VCS and what does or does not go into the taurball are orthogonal in my mind; I'll always tag releases in git regardless of how I'm packaging things.

TrialnError commented on 2014-09-17 09:20 (UTC)

I'm just wondering You have a git-repo with tagged releases, still you put everything into the tarball, which should be avoided as far as I know (altough there were enough discussions in case of: "Oh, it's just bash-scripts, so that should be ok").

I don't follow. Root permissions are required to install packages. Downgrade escalates for only this step via sudo or su. What are you expecting?
