hi http://frugalware.org/~vmiklos/patches/libpacman-proposed/doc.diff also a question: for example at alpm_set_option(), what is the proper way to document 'parm'? should i document them in a function header, and then at other functions (ie. alpm_get_option()) refer to alpm_set_option()'s documentation? udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org

[pacman-dev] libalpm or libpacman?
by Mark Rosenstand 10 Jan '06

10 Jan '06

Hey guys, I'm wondering if "Arch Linux Package Management" is the best name for the new package library. I'm mainly concerned for relatively big utilizers - currently only Frugalware - but also people such as LFS users who seek a nice package management utility. (Of course all of them should be using Arch as we all know it's superior! ;-)) libpacman doesn't sound too good, but any less flavored name should do the trick. I guess it all boils down to whether pacman is "a package manager" or "the Arch Linux package manager" - so, what is it? :-) -- Mark Rosenstand ,;-, ,oOQ Arch Linux /_,K` (§§) Department of Footware ` ` `G

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] fix "conflicting files" error useage when the trans type is sync
by VMiklos 08 Jan '06

08 Jan '06

hi http://frugalware.org/~vmiklos/patches/libpacman-proposed/sync_file_conflic… the basic problem is that when the trans type is sync, then trans_prepare can't handle file conflicts, so trans_commit need a trans_prepare-like data pointer to be able to send the list of conflicting files back to the frontend also as this was the last list which wasn't sent back, do not display libalpm errors by default in pacman, as it's no longer necessary udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org
