pacman 3 (libalpm) available on frugalware but not on arch?

From http://frugalware.org/news.php

New features:

Libificated pacman to meet our needs, and the newborn pacman 3 has become the default package manager.

Can anyone explain why WE don't have it yet?

I'm assuming it's because it's not stable. The Frugal devs must have pulled it from the CVS server. I expect you are free to do the same.

But where is Pacman's CVS server? Is it public?

Yeah, there was a mention in the latest newsletter about pacman's cvs going public. Here's the mailing list.

This is a good sign. Is it going to be stable enough for a release soon? *drools*

From a user's perspective, with pacman3 actually be any different?

Perhaps they just forked it, though if that's the case, they really ought to change the name...

I just gave a quick look at the pacman-dev ML archive.   A frugalware dev (maybe the project leader?) was quite active there. I would think that it's not a fork but perhaps more of a colloboration.  A certain 'roadmap' thread seems to indicates that it is near completion.

No the lead dev of frugalware is *very* active in pacman3 development.

Yeah. Frugalware seems to be a very good community partner for archlinux. Lots of technology sharing and information passing back and forth.

I applaud the frugalware team for this.

Hm. Fugalware has already an official x86_64 port and they're working on a ppc port. We're still having no plans for official ports.  :cry:

Looks like a Debian/Ubuntu situation  (Ubuntu starts with sid, outruns it and falls back to it during release...)

Well, it is not stable enough yet.

Feel free to use it for tests purpose and to help us spotting bugs, but avoid playing with it on your main installation.
