Re: makepkg and then pacman -Syu

A while back I had a similar problem with libIDL. I never figured out why I got a local version of that package. It was probably something I was tinkering with. The fix was to remove the package then install the 'current' one.

Re: makepkg and then pacman -Syu

That's a bug...  I left a 3.1 dependency in there by accident.  A new kdevelop package is going up now.

Re: makepkg and then pacman -Syu

makepkg
==> Checking Dependencies...
==> Making package xchat (Thu Mar 27 22:17:56 WET 2003)
==> Acquiring/Extracting Sources...
==> ERROR: FTPAGENT is not configured. Check the /etc/makepkg.conf file.
==> Aborting...

How in good name did this
export FTPAGENT="/usr/bin/wget --continue --passive-ftp --tries=3 --waitretry=3"
Disappeared from my makepkg.conf ? Is it in the latest pacman pkg ?
maybe I just deleted it by mistake?
its fixed ....

Re: makepkg and then pacman -Syu

perhaps your original makepkg.conf was replaced with a new one after a package upgrade?

Re: makepkg and then pacman -Syu

well i would assume many people do not change their makepkg.conf files. i haven't so those of us who have not changed them will have normal functioning of that file. your makepkg.conf on the other hand would be back to the original status and all your fancy optimizations would be gone. that being said i believe this is one of the files that is backed up if it is going to be chaged
take a look to see if your old makepkg.conf is save under the name makepkg.conf.pacsave.
