Pacman 4 RC is available for testing -- are you brave enough?

For testing:

  • pacman -U http://dev.archlinux.org/~dan/pacman-4.0.0rc1-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz

  • pacman -U http://dev.archlinux.org/~dan/pacman-4.0.0rc1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz

The Devs are looking for feedback on:

  • any build failures in makepkg you may see
  • if you manage a custom repo, how does repo-add work for you
  • does pacman behave as it did before
  • if you want to sign packages, does the functionality in makepkg and the documentation make sense
  • same for signing repos- does it work for you
