[aur-general] chroot clean building and "http 429"
G'Day all, I have been rebuilding all my packages properly in a clean chroot. I wwas writing a smaill script to put all the packages in order and I accidentaly got "http 429". Any Idea how long that lasts? - I figured out what caused it and fixed it. ( damned thing wasnt querying the PKGBUILDS but going online ). But my main question is how do you get around a circular dependancy. eg. mingw-w64-harfbuzz depends on - mingw-w64-freetype2 mingw-w64-freetype2 depends on -mingw-w64-harfbuzz You cant build one unless the other is already built. Is this allowed ? Thanks Macca

Don't worry it only lasts a day.
But my main question is how do you get around a circular dependancy. eg.
mingw-w64-harfbuzz depends on - mingw-w64-freetype2
mingw-w64-freetype2 depends on -mingw-w64-harfbuzz
You cant build one unless the other is already built.
You'd want to bootstrap with a binary package. if foo depends on bar and vice versa, build foo against a binary version of bar then rebuild bar against your version of foo. Another way if possible is to configure foo and disable any features that require bar. Then after building bar, rebuild a fully featured foo. Although I'm not sure if freetype/harfbuzz can be configured this way
Is this allowed ?
Thanks

This advice basically boils down to "you need to already have it in order to build it", which isn't really the most useful advice unless you're using the official repos...

Looking at the AUR, mingw-w64-harfbuzz depends on mingw-w64-freetype2 which is also provided by mingw-w64-freetype2-minimal, mingw-w64-freetype2-bootstrap. I'm not sure why both variant packages exist, but the -bootstrap variant is pretty obviously meant to do exactly this. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User

Thanks all, I found the bootstrap ones. Ive been redoing all my 340 odd builds in a chroot with distcc to fix some small issues. Thanks Macca

The rate limit ban lasts 24 hous.
