Old PKGBUILDs no longer available?

Korrode · 2011-02-05 15:24:39

Hi Arch Forums,

We used to be able to search for a package and on that package's page click "SVN Entries" then "View Log" and easily obtain older PKGBUILD's (and any associated files).
The process is even described in the wiki here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Do … he_Package

As of somewhat recently, unless I am missing something, we can no longer do this.
Now when "log" is clicked we just see a log of changes and a diff style representation. (example)

Just wondering if I'm missing something and somehow can easily view and download old PKGBUILD's? ...and if not, why was this change made? Personally I found the old functionality to be really useful at times.

I did search the forums to see if anyone else had already asked this but didn't find anything. Apologies if the issue has already been raised and responded to, if so could someone please link me to the thread.

You want the whole PKGBUILDs?
http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/ … c7a420ac92

Plain one for download http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/ … c7a420ac92

Maybe the change is related to the move from SVN to git.

hmmm ok i see now that I can select a log entry then hit the right-most link on the "tree" line and get the old PKGBUILD and other files. Thanks, don't know how I didn't find that initially.

Still a little annoying as the log list doesn't at a glance show the version of the package and i'm pretty sure previously we could get a tarball of the release.

Still, it can be done, so i won't complain.
