yaourt, cvs, md5sum and community repo.

Hey, lately trying to install packages with yaourt are not working. For example, flock and lmms both say CVS and not PKGBUILD in AUR. yaourt cannot find them.
I tried to download the pkgbuild by clicking on cvs bout I get "AN Exception Has Occoured" error message.
This is only with CVS packages. Also, when upgrading a package for my system from AUR, I don't use md5sum and I've always removed the old md5sum number from the pkgbuild and it builds.
Now I can't do that anymore.

Is there a problem with:
1: packages saying CVS and not PKGBUILD in AUR/Community?
2: is md5sum manditory now?

An Exception Has Occurred

lmms/repos/community-i686: unknown location
HTTP Response Status

404 Not Found

Packages in community have been moved to the previous CVS repo an SVN repo just like the official packages. There are still issues being ironed out, which explains the exception.

I believe the md5sums thing is due to the latest pacman update, makepkg will not just throw a warning now, it errors instead. Don't quote me on that though.

yeah, the error message stops the build. very frustrating.
