Updating devel packages doesn't work anymore

[sh4nks]

Hey,

When I try to update all my --devel packages that I have installed, it always finishes with "local database is up to date" which is not true in this case because I know that I have installed several VCS packages. (also notice how curl exited)

$ apacman -Syu --devel
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
 multilib is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
 there is nothing to do
:: Synchronizing aur database...
notice: curl exited with code 6             39  75 [######################----------------------] 52%
manpage: Couldn't resolve host. The given remote host was not resolved.
 aur                                        75  75 [############################################]100%
:: Starting full aur upgrade...
 local database is up to date

The curl exit code is due to an installed package that is no longer (or never was) in the AUR. I'll post a fix for that soon. But it's a red herring as far as the --devel breakage is concerned.

This was actually two bugs.

• The $basepath part of the URL was slicing off in the wrong place (affecting any package with a period in the name)
• The code for the --devel flag has not been maintained at all since forking from packer. I'm adding an "extinct" message for packages that are no longer in AUR

@sh4nks and @justin8 should be fixed now
