Great thinking! They're scripts that update the entire set of metadata that ensures AUR remains consistent, without conflicting versions pruning large parts of the build tree. > I'll be holding my breath expecting some actual progress by 2020. The most significant bottleneck for us is *not* AUR packages -- as they can be updated fully automatically, inside of a day -- it is the GHC core packages in binary form. Vegai needs help here. -- Don

There are some other scripts that need to be in place. My timeline for this is: * Release updated versions of cabal2arch and archlinux packages [done] * GHC 6.12.3 into extra * Release all additional scripts (i.e. for generating http://www.galois.com/~dons/arch-haskell-status.html , and process for updating. * Create group account. * Hand over maintainership for packages. -- Don
