[pacman-dev] PM_LOCK
by wael＠siemens-mobiles.org 28 Aug '06

Hi, in lib/libalpm/alpm.h, you define PM_LOCK to "/tmp/pacman.lck", but the lock file should depend on config->root, a scenario: I have a chroot at /home/chroot where I ran the following: pacman -Sy -r /home/chroot xorg gnome gnome-extra kde And i want to update and/or install on my real root ( / ), so I run pacman -Syu but pacman will exit since /tmp/pacman.lck exist, this is wrong, "pacman -r /home/chroot" should not lock "pacman -r /" since pacman will not touch /var/lib/pacman... Regards, Wael Nasreddine

[pacman-dev] pacman libtar

Hi, I have started looking into pacman code. After running configure on freshly downloaded sources, the configure did not fail on missing libtar. Is this behaviour correct? Without libtar build will fail. Perhaps there should be some notification on missing libraries. Maciek

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] new option: pacman --ask
by VMiklos 06 Aug '06

hi http://darcs.frugalware.org/darcsweb/darcsweb.cgi?r=pacman;a=commitdiff;h=2… the idea is to be able to pre-specify the answers from commandline to all libalpm questions for example if you want to say no to the "already up2date, upgrade anyway?" question, but yes to all the others, you can use --ask 32 if you know pacamn --debug, you'll like this option manpage also updated with detailed documentation udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org

[pacman-dev] required by relation

Hi, All! I wrote in the arch mailing list about problem with versioned libs such as openssl and db. When I update such lib I should update all packages that depends on it, but pacman can not give me list of such packages. I see I can write trivial one line script or use gtkpacman or update whole system, but I think it is wrong when "pacman -Sy openssl db" breaks system. What do you think about it? (May be it is feature request...)
