[pacman-dev] Pulled changes and other things
by Dan McGee 28 Jun '07

28 Jun '07

I pulled in Andrew's bsdtar branch today, and Xavier's ready_to_pull branch, so those changes have all been pushed to the al.org tree. Thanks guys! Other things: 1. For you guys that I am pulling GIT repos from, can you do me a favor? I added some more descriptive tags to the GIT repo (v3.0.0) instead of the older uglier CVS tags (R_3_0_0). If you wouldn't mind deleting those old tags in your pushed repo, I would appreciate it so I don't keep pulling them in. By default GIT does not push tags, but it does pull them. I got rid of them on my public repo and the al.org tree; if you do the same that would be awesome. 2. What is on people's minds for a 3.1 release? I don't think its too early to start at least getting some thoughts on paper, and see what kind of timeframe we can make for ourselves. I know at least the following things are true- I've made a lot of changes recently and they need some refinement, to say the least. In addition, we seem to have a lot of outstanding libarchive issues that we should take a look at and ensure are fixed. If we need to extend the pactest framework to be able to test this better, then we should do that. Thanks to everyone that has been contributing to pacman, we definitely appreciate it, and you can see the wide variety of authors that are now in the GIT history. Hopefully some of you will venture into the big bad libalpm after dipping your toes in makepkg changes. It is what I did. :) -Dan

[pacman-dev] Color patch again
by Vojtěch Gondžala 28 Jun '07

28 Jun '07

Hi all, I rewrite the color patch from 3.0.x version. Colors are reconfigurable in pacman.conf in section [colors], if isn't anything explicity named then is using default color. Option --nocolor disable colorized output. yours opinion? :) --vogo

[pacman-dev] makepkg creates bad .FILELIST
by Andrew Fyfe 27 Jun '07

27 Jun '07

This patch[1] breaks the creation of .FILELIST, directories don't end with / so pacman treats them as files and does conflict checks and bails out because /usr (or any other dir) has already been installed by another package. Posted a patch[2] to my ready_to_pull branch. [1] http://projects.archlinux.org/git/?p=pacman.git;a=commit;h=430a19c604e474e9… [2] http://repo.or.cz/w/pacman.git?a=shortlog;h=ready_to_pull Andrew

[pacman-dev] libarchive issue
by Xavier 27 Jun '07

27 Jun '07

Upgrading to the last libarchive fixed some problems, but also caused a new one : http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7484 I tried to look at it, since Dan was away, but miserably failed. I'm afraid this one is way too hard for me, I found all libarchive related stuff very confusing, and couldn't make any sense of it. All that is left is even more questions. Sorry about that :( Maybe I'll keep trying, if we can take the time to fix this, and if no one else can figure it out. The main questions I've (already in the bug comments) are : 1) why pacman got permission of /tmp wrong with old libarchive, while old bsdtar gets them right? 2) is the ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_NO_OVERWRITE option the only way in libarchive to avoid losing symlinks ? And does this option do what we want? I'm afraid both questions require some investigations for being answered.
