[pacman-dev] [translation] zh_CN
by Lyman 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

As attached, it is a git diff file. (Generated by "git diff po/zh_CN.po lib/libalpm/po/zh_CN.po > zh_CN", please correct me if I was wrong since I am new to git). Wish it could be useful :) Changes: * add n$ into %s to identify the sequence if there are 2 or more parameters in translated sentence * clean up fuzzy translation * some typo/format corrected Sorry for possible duplicate send since last one enclosed a uncompressed diff file which exceeded 40k limit of the mail list. -- Lyman Li http://lymanrb.blogspot.com

[pacman-dev] A quiestion on translation
by Lyman 27 Oct '08

27 Oct '08

Hi, I noticed some translation flaw of pacman and wish to correct it. I followed the instruction as this link http://www.archlinux.org/pacman/translation-help.html and get the updated po file (to be exact, zh_CN.po). Here's the problem when I open this po file: I don't know how to identify parameter with sequence. For example, when I need to translate a sentence msgid ":: Replace %s with %s/%s?" into the form of msgstr ":: Use %s/%s to replace %s?" How could tell which %s is which. This does happens when translating English into Chinese and there are such bugs in zh_CN.po right now. I've searched for a while and found that different projects might use different policies. In KDE people uses msgid "%1 articles match rule %2" msgstr "匹配规则 %2 的文章有 %1 个" and in Gnome people uses msgid "%d articles match rule %d" msgstr "匹配规则 %2$d 的文章有 %1$d 个" What about pacman? Thanks. -- Lyman Li http://lymanrb.blogspot.com

[pacman-dev] [ABS PATCH] Allow syncing the ABS tree using tarballs

I figured I'd post this here for comments seem it is a fairly decent sized patch. Thanks, Allan Some people are stuck behind restrictive firewalls and can not sync the ABS tree using rsync.

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] Fix memleaks in front-end caused by dynamic memory allocation

http://repo.or.cz/w/pacman-ng.git?a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/working I know you may not like this way (free functions public), but IMHO the result is not so ugly ;-) Off-topic: A small thing. During working on this patch I realized, that "\nerrors occurred, no packages were upgraded.\n" message is printed after -U fileconflict error only. Is this intentional? (Anyway, IMHO that message is useless.)

[pacman-dev] Addition of a new package in a package group and how pacman handles it
by wg2k 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

Hey all I will briefly describe the situation: yesterday, Gnome 2.24 hit the repos. I issued "pacman -Suy" and, lo and behold, next time I logged in I was running Gnome 2.24. So far so good. But then I noticed that certain parts of Gnome were not there at all! It turns out, it doesn't matter if I have originally installed the package group named gnome and gnome-extras, their contents have changed (new packages added) but I did not get the new packages. Instead I had to issue a pacman -Suy --needed gnome gnome-extras in order to get the full package list. Now, I was wondering if this is on purpose or not and in my humble opinion, this is very counter-intuitive. When I first issued the "full upgrade" command, I didn't merely expect the system to bring all my packages to the latest version, I expected to have a "current" system, exactly as it would be if I had done a clean install. In fact, that's the main reason for choosing Arch: the fact that it is rolling release! This means, I expected the package manager to be smart enough to say "Aha, he wanted gnome and gnome-extras back then and I see no reason for him to *not* want the new gnome and gnome-extras now, let's install them!" Granted, this could be circumvented by issuing: $pacman --needed -Suy gnome gnome-extras but why should I be on the lookout for when a new gnome is out, for instance? Isn't that the job of the package manager? Here's an idea: why not keep track of package groups the user has *explicitly* installed and then by doing a "full-full upgrade" (let's say pacman -Syuu, double u), bring the new packages in? I could also argue that this behaviour should be the default one. Thoughts?

You can see this error gets thrown if filename is null, which means alpm_pkg_get_filename() returned null on that particular package. Do you have any custom repos enabled that could potentially have invalid filename fields? /** Compute the size of the files that will be downloaded to install a * package. * @param newpkg the new package to upgrade to */ static int compute_download_size(pmpkg_t *newpkg) { const char *fname; char *fpath; off_t size = 0; fname = alpm_pkg_get_filename(newpkg); ASSERT(fname != NULL, RET_ERR(PM_ERR_PKG_INVALID_NAME, -1));
