]]>I see that FS#15198 will be implemented in pacman 3.4, will this make rebase redundant?
Partially, yes. I think rebase will still display more information about changes to the database, but for most users there will probably be no reason to continue using it.
]]>I tried a few more and you are right they do work, apart from the heanet ftp server, which is the one I normally use. Strange as pacman -Sy works, suppose its no big deal and I can just use the http server.
It might have something to do with passive FTP settings etc. I use Perl's LWP::Simple for downloading the database archives and it usually "just works" without further configuration. If this were a general FTP issue then I would look into it but in this case it seems that the settings on that server are to blame.
Let me also take this chance to thankyou, another big fan of your work here. (esp. bauerbill, rebase and a script from you in the paconky thread)

I have no problem with FTP servers here. I just tested it by removing all HTTP servers and rebase still worked. Try using a different FTP server.

]]>edit: I did some further tests, and I can't get --no-color, --silent and --log to work.
]]>* That surprised me. I really thought that I had already added that functionality. Either I got distracted after writing the subroutines or I refactored the run subroutine and forgot to re-add them. Meh.
]]>But another small issue I noticed is the database lock. rebase neither sets a lock when updating the database (although there already are subroutines for locking/unlocking the db) nor it respects existing locks. It's probably a good idea to correct this behavior.
]]>Didn't notice any problems so far, but I will report back if one occurs.

]]>I'll have to find a way to make `sudo pacman -Syu` do `sudo rebase ; sudo pacman -Su`.
