[pacman-dev] [PATCH] make alpm_strerror binding friendly
by Stefano Esposito 10 Sep '07

10 Sep '07

Hi all, i'm currently working on python bindings for alpm written in pyrex. While working i found that declaring alpm_strerror as char * alpm_strerror (void) instead of char * alpm_strerror (int err) and then using pm_errno in the implementation instead of err, could make it more bindings-friendly. Compiles fine. I've also installed it and runned a full system upgrade with any problem. Patch attached.

[pacman-dev] Dynamic repository updates?
by eliott 08 Sep '07

08 Sep '07

As it currently stands, in order to update the files in pacman.d are only updated on a pacman rel bump. This requires pacman to update its version to push any mirror list changes out. My proposal is to have a pacman-mirrors.pkg.tar.gz package. This way, pacman can get more dynamic mirror list updates, without having to version bump pacman itself (or rel bump). pacman-mirrors would take ownership of the /etc/pacman.d/ directory and the associated mirror files in there. This would allow people to keep their own mirrors at the top of the list, while proving new .pacnew files that people can merge across if they want. pacman would need pacman-mirrors as a dep I suppose. Anyway, it is just an idea, and would require minimal changes to pacman itself, while still giving the ability for dynamic repository updates without version bumping pacman itself.

This conceptually separates the local DB from sync DBs in the code. Also updated the pacman frontend to use the new functions. In addition, this changes the location of all sync DBs in the filesystem from $DBPATH/$REPO to $DBPATH/sync/$REPO, This removes the silly limitation that a sync DB couldn't be named 'local', along with structurally separating sync DBs and the local DB in the filesystem.
