[pacman-dev] documenting the base-devel split
by Jonathan 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

I haven't been able to find any arch documentation (besides the mailing lists) on the splitting of base into base and base-devel groups. The main need is for people to understand the need to install the base-devel group before building packages. the makepkg man page seems like a good place for this. Jonathan 'wide-eye'

[pacman-dev] Hypotetic pacman's db structure (SQL)
by JJDaNiMoTh 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

Hello to all. I'm writing an example databe structure for pacman db ( may be useful when someone decide to use SQLite as backend, and not simple text file). [1] Tell me your impression, if something can be made, revisioned or deleted. Views isn't complete, because I need some data stored in the db to test it; and, of course, I'm writing a simple script that parse all packages information stored under /var/lib/pacman to this db schemas ( if anyone wants help, it's welcome :D ) Thanks [1] http://rafb.net/p/XxK62l68.html (Version 0.01) -- JJDaNiMoTh - ArchLinux Trusted User

Re: [pacman-dev] Some pacman and delta test results
by Dale Ogilvie 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

Why wget-xdelta.sh as Xfercommand? I thought I'd try out the Xfercommand "corner-case" of pacman 3.1, as coincidentally I had wget-xdelta.sh in my current pacman.conf. Seems to work ok, unless that segfault I saw was Xfercommand related. Now, I've removed it to take advantage of that delta chain Nathan implemented. Dale

Though, alpm_list_add / alpm_list_remove were changed recently, and Nagy noticed a few bugs in them (didn't look at it either, so not sure if it's really related), but I think the problem might come from there.

[pacman-dev] Some pacman and delta test results
by Dale Ogilvie 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

Currently I'm running with pacman 3.1 using wget-xdelta.sh as an alternate transfer method. I was a little surprized to get a delta download for pacman-git, pacman-git-20071107-1_to_20071108-1-i686.delta saving 1.1Mb on a 1.3Mb file. Applying delta... 1133389 bytes saved by xdelta. Then, I was a little bit surprized to not get a delta for Nathan's delta-test: http://home.insightbb.com/~nathanj/dt/deltatest-1.0.1-2_to_1.0.2rc3-1-i686.… => `deltatest-1.0.1-2_to_1.0.2rc3-1-i686.delta' Resolving home.insightbb.com... 74.128.0.22 Connecting to home.insightbb.com|74.128.0.22|:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found 20:51:10 ERROR 404: Not Found. Hmmm. Then, I got this: error: segmentation fault error: Internal pacman error: Segmentation fault. Please submit a full bug report with --debug if appropriate. I was trying an upgrade of: Targets: deltatest-libs-1.0.1-1 deltatest-1.0.2rc3-1 dosbox-0.72-2 glibc-2.7-5 libgphoto2-2.4.0-1 libsamplerate-0.1.2-4 Regards Dale

[pacman-dev] pacman 3.1 segfault (more info)
by Dale Ogilvie 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

Here's what happened, in order, in case it helps with figuring out what might have gone wrong. Note this is using wget-xdelta.sh for XferCommand. Targets: deltatest-libs-1.0.1-1 deltatest-1.0.2rc3-1 dosbox-0.72-2 glibc-2.7-5 libgphoto2-2.4.0-1 libsamplerate-0.1.2-4 pacman pulled down all packages before libgphoto2 no problems. pacman tried to pull libgphoto2-2.4.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz from ftp://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/archlinux/extra/os/i686, which is the first of only two entries in my mirrorlist. It failed, which is interesting, possibly this mirror was not quite finished syncing. It then successfully downloaded libsamplerate-0.1.2-4-i686.pkg.tar.gz, which was the last package in the targets for update. It then segfaulted. error: segmentation fault error: Internal pacman error: Segmentation fault. Please submit a full bug report with --debug if appropriate. I *guess* at this point it would have been trying the second server in my mirrorlist for the missing libgphoto2-2.4.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz package. I then removed the pacman lock file so I could run pacman again. I did a pacman -Su to redo the upgrade At this point it still failed to find the libgphoto2 package on my first mirror, but did manage to begin downloading it from the second mirror (ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/archlinux/extra/os/i686). I cntrl-C'ed it. as I wasn't sure why it was hitting 2 mirrors... Then I did a pacman -Syu to freshen things up, this time I get a new package in my targets, imagemagick. The upgrade works perfectly, with libgphoto2 being found on my first mirror *this time*. All's well that ends well? My pick would be something to do with the package not being available on that first mirror... Dale
