[Solved] Patch to pacman-contrib - where to send?

Hi,

I have a patch for pacman-contrib that fixes an error on my system. To whom should I send it? My gut feeling says to do a `git send-email` to arch-dev-public, with cc to the people who are listed in the AUTHORS.md file. Am I right?

But have you confirmed that it is a bug? You say it fixes an error on your system. What is the error? Has anyone else replicated it?

Actually it is https://git.archlinux.org/pacman-contri … atches.txt because pacman and pacman-contrib were split apart.

So instead of the "pacman-dev" mailing list, use the "pacman-contrib" mailing list.

@blochl,

arch-dev-public is the publicly readable, but internal, list which is used for coordinating distribution-level discussions. It's not related to sending patches to any project.

It will happen on any system where there are many packages in the cache that need to be cleaned - the Bash command line which is expanded in the script becomes too long, and the script returns an "Argument list too long" error.

eschwartz - thanks! Sent.
