[pacman-dev] zsh completion for pacman
by Dan McGee 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

Can anyone tell me if this package should be merged with our zsh_completion file in the current pacman repository? http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?do_Details=1&ID=6843 If so, can someone provide a patch ASAP? I plan on installing both the bash completion and zsh completion files in the next pacman release. -Dan

[pacman-dev] translation procedure
by Xavier 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

There was a discussion yesterday on irc about simplifying the translation process. Stonecrest was basically saying that having to go through git might turn off some potential translators, and confuse others. And I agree with that. Translators actually don't even need the pacman source tree, here is how the process can go : 19:53 stonecrest >> 1. release coming 2. string freeze 3. dan updates po files 4. people download po files from gitweb and update them 5. people submit them 19:54 stonecrest >> and you can continue making any changes to pacman during that process that don't change strings. So first, I would like to know the opinion of others (especially the existing translators) about this procedure. And then, I tried to update the translation-help accordingly, but I am not sure how bad my changes are, so if others could also comment on that and suggest improvements, it would be great :) Note : the patch is based on Dan's working branch since he converted translation-help to asciidoc there.

[pacman-dev] [abs] Proto files and Makeworld
by Travis Willard 07 Jan '08

07 Jan '08

Hey guys, With ABS splitting off from pacman, I was wondering where makeworld and the .proto files belonged. To me, makeworld seems to be an abs tool (and even mentions ABS in its usage) so it would seem to belong in the abs project, not with pacman itself. The proto files (PKGBUILD.proto, install.proto, and possibly a ChangeLog.proto?) seem to belong with makepkg in my mind. Any changes in these proto files would be directly caused by changes to makepkg, and the coupling of putting them in with the pacman package seems to make sense. I've never understood why we sync them with abs in the first place - if someone wants a prototype PKGBUILD to start from, why should they have to download the entirety of our repos' build scripts? In short, I think we should move makeworld to the abs project/package, and move the prototype files into the pacman project/package, perhaps in /usr/share/pacman/*proto? Thoughts? -- Travis

The previous fileconflict check (package vs filesystem) skipped the conflict when the file on the filesystem was a directory or a symlink to a directory, no matter what the file in the package was. Now, the conflict will only be skipped if the file in the package is a directory (so compatible with a dir or a dir symlink on the filesystem). So in the case of 8156 (new fileconflict003 pactest for this case), instead of silently ignoring the extraction of the test symlink, pacman will now fail because of a file conflict between the test symlink in the pkg2 package and the test directory on the filesystem.
