A few problems here:
1. Why did the behavior of corepkg/extrapkg and friends suddenly
require a staging directory on my machine? This seems wrong. The old
way was perfectly acceptable...
2. Why is communitypkg an absolute link and the rest are not?
Right now, devtools is broken to me. Let me know if someone plans on
fixing it or if I'm going to back out changes that seem wrong to me.
Right now I can't upgrade a package if I wanted to (pacman 3.0.6
anyone?).
