[pacman-dev] Release Schedule for 3.0
by Aaron Griffin 07 Feb '07

07 Feb '07

Pacman 3.0 Release Schedule =========================== 2007-01-31 For those of you used to these sorts of schedules, this may seem a big aggressive, for those of you NOT used to it, it may seem slow. I think this is a decent middle ground. I would not want either testing cycle to go LESS than one week, but they could go longer. We should also setup a bug tracker category (temporarily) for pacman 3.0 testing, to get a concise category for bugs and the like. This was suggested by Dan. The following schedule should give us enough time to iron out any and all issues remaining. It is not set in stone, but gives us something to strive for. * 01-31 to 02-07 (one week): RC Testing. Remaining bug fixes This is our current setup where it seems to be only devs and people on pacman-dev doing testing * 02-07 to 02-14 (one week): Public testing - NOT in repos yet Provide a URL in a news item or forum announcement * 02-14 / 02-15: Release to [testing] repo At this point we will also remove the "side-by-side" scheme (pacman-rc -> pacman) currently used * 02-15 to 02-22 (one week): Public testing This is aggressive and will require us to actually prod people to test / report things * 02-22 / 02-23: Release to [current] * 02-23 - 03-01: Watch and wait for some time. There will be problems at this point and we should address them ASAP. * 03-01 +: Begin pacman 3.1 feature additions and other fun stuff

[pacman-dev] Removal of bindings
by Jürgen Hötzel 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

Hi, I don't know why language bindings generation is part of the pacman-lib CVS repository. Any swig-supported (not only perl/python/java) language binding can be generated from alpm.h and a swig interface file. Real language bindings will also ship higher level function/classes. So i would prefer to remove automated bindings generation. Jürgen

[pacman-dev] Fun supplementary files
by Aaron Griffin 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

I wanted to put this out there. There's a handful of supplementary files that would be nice to have in pacman cvs. One that I can think of off the top of my head, is an 'indent.pro' (see The Fine Manual for details) file for GNU indent (based on the pacman coding guidelines). In addition, it'd be nice to have a guide for translators, so they would know how to send translations (I don't feel qualified to write something like that). I had some more, I'll tack them on with other emails later. This is mainly here for people with free time who want to help out, so feel free to submit anything you feel would be worthwhile. Thanks, aaron

[pacman-dev] New RC up, getting close!
by Aaron Griffin 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

Ok, with Dan formally committing to the repo, we seem to be able to get rid of alot of these bugs fairly quickly. There is very little left in the bug tracker, so as long as we all feel comfortable, we should be able to officially release pacman 3 soon. The newest RC (8) is up at: http://archlinux.org/~aaron/pacman/ Please try it out and report _anything_ and _everything_ you can think of, no matter how small it may seem. Tomorrow I'll setup a semi-formal release schedule, and hopefully we can get this out the door and can move on to pumping out features (3.1). So anyway, it's time we all got excited!

[pacman-dev] Output questions
by Aaron Griffin 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

I have a few pending questions about the current output that I'd like to get some opinions on. Firstly, the spacing in -Ss output - there is an extra newline after each package. This was added a while back upon request, and i personally like it, but it makes the output real huge. Looks like the options are: * Keep the line (-Ss output) * Remove the line (-Qs output) * Add the line between repositories only. Secondly, we have an interesting -Ss "issue" here: $ pacman -Ss ^kernel26$ This should only output (duh) kernel26. However, it also displays kernel26beyond. This is because -Ss ALSO searches the provides=() entries for each package... this is a bit misleading. The options are as follows: * Keep this search and indicate, somewhere, that the package was matched due to a provides=() entry * Don't search provides=() at all So, I'd like some opinions on these two topics... there's probably more somewhere, but I can't think of any.
