Howdy guys I'm really excited about ArchServer and could use your advice on properly creating a environment suited to create packages, test, etc.

For instance I'm trying to build OpenLDAP, (I want to create a authentication stack). I've taken the PKGBUILDs from my local arch install and modify them as needed. However there are a few of the deps that are out-dated and I want to not only find the dated pkgs but also anything that depends on them as well so we can make sure everything is updated accordingly.

So I could use some advice on a good "standard" on how setup my system(s). Any and all advice is welcome.

We have 2 build servers setup (32 and 64 bit) and are still finalizing the configuration for how best to build using them.... We'll set you up with access soon

I have installed two VBoxes on my Laptop (taken from our repository), one for i686 and one for x86_64. On both of these machines, I have installed base-devel and git. You need to modify the makepkg.conf accordingly, like explained in our wiki.
I have a folder in my home-directory (called projects), in where all relevant source repositories live (e.g. server-core and server-extra). These are clones from my personal master repository on the host system, where I usually modify the package source files.

A good starting point for the dependency question is http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=4

Please note that this is my setup and it is far from perfect.

Thanks! This is what I was looking for.
