Sounds like they were built for testing then moved to repos, that in case they're not rebuilt.

In case they're built again after moving from testing to [core/extra], I don't know.

Best Testing Repo Warning: [testing] means it can eat you hamster, catch fire and you should keep it away from children. And I'm serious here, it's not an April 1st joke.

Ah, thanks.

I'm not sure if this info is more important than the Build Date, but it is featured more prominently on the webpage: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort … =&limit=50

I'm marking this as solved.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
