How is it right now. Are Arch packages build up on AUR packages. For example
I release a AUR PKGBUILD with epoch=39, would Arch remove that, reset it to
nothing or would Arch keep it?
Thats important because if Arch resets it anyways, the PKGBUILD can stay on
the AUR and we shouldnt care what happens on there before release. If Arch
however keeps it it should be removed as it is right now, on move to
testing.
Hi,
I don't know, how aur-helper handle this, but pacman itself does not
compare versions of packages in different repositories. It just looks,
what repository comes first in /etc/pacman.conf. So if an aur-helper adds
an additional [aur] repository in pacman.conf at the end, official
packages would always take priority over aur packages.
Regarding your first question: I have no idea, but I would assume, that
they remove exceedingly high epoch values - but it might also be up to the
packages and different from package to package.
regards,
Erich
