[SOLVED]Using ABS

Hello guys. I was wondering which directory should I cd into to build a package. For example inside xorg-server I can find "repos" and "trunk". Inside repos I have one called "x86_64_extra". Both trunk and x86_64 have PKGBUILDS.

Re: [SOLVED]Using ABS

Each package has its own subdirectory. Within it there are repos and trunk directories. repos is further broken down by repository name (e.g., core) and architecture. PKGBUILD's and files found in repos are used in official builds. Files found in trunk are used by developers in preparation before being copied to repos.

CarterCox, the one in the repos dir was what the PKGBUILD was when the binary was built for the given repo. Trunk is what it is now. Take your pick.

He did quote the relevant part. I said the same thing, only slightly differently.
