@Eschwartz: "Potentially incorrect what?" - Upstream changes that dont find their way back into the static configurations. (Which i experienced last year, when a option was not documented. Although, i cannot recall what it was, offhand). //// "There's a reason the repo package also provides its own non-stock configurations." - Im confused, why is that? //// "I'm unmotivated to support the arm pacman.conf" - i already have a local version of this package with all the patches, etc. converted. if you were interested (https://github.com/EndlessEden/pacman-all-git) //// "pacman-contrib is already ... why it should be a hard dependency" - The Arch Package Version, has supplied this as part of its package since commit "b41b136a3"@2013-04-04 / Inclusion of it just makes more sense to me. But this i think is personal. I apologize if my opinion seems inaccurate.

Potentially incorrect what? There's a reason the repo package also provides its own non-stock configurations.

I'm unmotivated to support the arm pacman.conf, but feel free to submit PRs here: https://github.com/eli-schwartz/pkgbuilds -- I won't hunt down the necessary conf files myself, for a system I don't use.

pacman-contrib is already an optdepends, I don't see why it should be a hard dependency especially given it would be a circular dependency.

I have a few questions... 1. This package already generates pacman.conf and makepkg.conf, why include it? (its only included in the Generic packages from arch-team, to be more CPU generic and include additional mirror info for x86_64) - Wouldnt it be much cleaner to just sed or patch the data in, rather than replace with potentially incorrect files.

  1. Since this is a git package, why not add additional support for non-x86 platforms(IE: Arm). Its not hard to merge their patches here.

  2. Since Pacman-contrib was merged into Pacman, wouldn't it be smarter to make Pacman-contrib-git a dependency or include it into your package?

pactree is missing. Is it in pacman-contrib-git?

contrib/ was removed from pacman. Please update the pkgbuild so a pacman-contrib package can be added. Edit: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pacman-contrib-git Once there's a release, pacman-contrib will be available in the repos.

Please could we start patching /etc/pacman.conf to replace 'pacman' in the HoldPkg list with 'pacman-git'.

makepkg bails out with an error: ==> ERROR: pkgver is not allowed to contain colons, hyphens or whitespace. ==> ERROR: Could not download sources. Can we remove the colon, please?

pkgver is invalid.

pacman-db-upgrade broke packages whose 'files' (file) contains %BACKUP% for example %BACKUP% is right on the next line after %FILES% as if some kind of sorting happened. And this causes pacman -Qo and -Ql to not see any files and thus attempting to upgrade/downgrade those affected packages causes `exists in filesystem` for each file. This happened after I upgraded from commit d9cf14ff1d69ac8834b84015c7971f55ce77645b to commit(latest currently): 7ee01c86669327b2af63c8ed9390bcbf071cdac5 Ok someone(demize) just notified me of this: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2014-October/019422.html but may be worth to know if someone else if about to update from this
