Is there any way to see the list of source packages without binaries? I'm trying to get the game ProjectXenocide running under Paldo. For this I need to install ogre3d and several other packages. One of ogre's dependencies is zziplib. I checked whether it was available using paldo packages search engine. I didn't get any results. So I downloaded zziplib tar.bz2, wrote a spec and issued upkg-build command. It turned out that instead of building local package upkg downloaded source package from server(experimental branch) and built it. So it turned out that there had already been a spec for zziplib, but no binary was available.
So tu sum up. Is there any way to get a list of packages that are on server, but haven't been built yet? |

BTW: The experimental branch is currently only used for toolchain testing (gcc 4.1 / glibc 2.4). |

So could this be that upkg treated my local repo as experimental? Because when I compiled zziplib it said that zziplib was from experimental branch. There was the word "experimental" in brackets while building. That's why I thought the package came from experimental. If that's so, sorry for my stupid question  |
