Abs question: "checkout ..."

When I run abs, I sometimes see some "checkout ..." statements. For instance, this morning, I see this:

Updating collection extra/cvs
 Edit extra/multimedia/k3b/PKGBUILD
 Checkout extra/multimedia/k3b/k3b.install
 Checkout extra/system/pmount/PKGBUILD
 Checkout extra/system/sysfsutils/PKGBUILD
Finished successfully

What am I supposed to do with that? Rebuild?

Re: Abs question: "checkout ..."

I believe checkout means that abs is updating those files and replacing the old PKGBUILD with a new one.  For example the files you list are the PKGBUILDS for the packages that have been updated since the last time you ran abs.  You don't have to rebuild anything, unless you compile all you packages from source using abs

Re: Abs question: "checkout ..."

yeah it just means that abs is getting the newest files from the servers... i.e if  the maintainer changes AwesomePackage-0.1.2 to the new version Awesomepackage-0.1.5, then abs will update the PKGBUILD open your system when it checks it out
