[pacman-dev] -Sc and shared cache
by Xavier 12 Mar '08

12 Mar '08

This was already discussed here : http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2008-January/010940.html And then more recently in bbs : http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=43809 The guy there started to write a little script on his own, and that made me realize that the behavior he wanted is actually pretty close to the current -Sc code. Only a small part needs to be changed, most of the code can be re-used. But instead of only keeping the packages which are in the local database, we would keep the packages which are in a sync database. http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=330487#p330487 So I hacked a patch together. It's not really usable yet, because it's not configurable , only the second behavior will be used. It's only a proof of concept for now. (and anyway, it only prints the package that it wants to remove, it doesn't actually remove them, for testing purpose) I just wanted to know what others think about proposing two different behaviors for -Sc, and how the user could choose between both (maybe an additional flag, but which?).

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] Add VerboseUpgradeInfo Option
by Justin Lampley 11 Mar '08

11 Mar '08

Attached is a patch to add an option that displays the old version of the package as well as size in column format for the upgrade operation. Another patch was submitted back in November for this, but it either got lost and buried in the list, or Dan just hated it :). When enabled, this is what the upgrade information looks like: Targets: Pkg Name New Version Old Version Size perl 5.10.0-2 5.8.8-9 15.37 MB cairo-perl 1.044-1 1.041-1 0.10 MB courier-authlib 0.60.2-2 0.60.2-1 0.17 MB dhcpcd 3.2.1-1 3.2.0-1 0.04 MB imagemagick 6.3.8.0-2 6.3.8.0-1 2.00 MB glib-perl 1.162-1 1.160-1 0.36 MB perl-event 1.09-3 1.09-2 0.09 MB perl-anyevent 2.8-6 2.8-5 0.02 MB perl-libintl-perl 1.16-3 1.16-2 1.11 MB perl-event-execflow 0.63-3 0.63-2 0.04 MB gtk2-perl 1.162-1 1.160-1 2.28 MB perl-gtk2-ex-formfactory 0.65-4 0.65-3 0.20 MB

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] Autoversion deps upon package creation in makepkg
by Darwin Bautista 11 Mar '08

11 Mar '08

Hi all, Attached is a patch to add "autoversion of dependencies" in makepkg. I think the usage of the term "autoversion" is a little vague but I can't of any other term. Anyway, autoversioning will save package maintainers a lot of time in adding and bumping the minimum required versions of a certain package's dependencies directly in the PKGBUILD. Of course, this autoversioning can be overridden by directly specifying the minimum/maximum (if ever)/exact version of a dep. Autoversioning can be disabled by using these opts: '-v' or '--nodepsver'. I've seen quite a lot of packages (extra, community) which have "out-dated" or wrong minimum versions of the deps. For instance, I've seen a package (which I can't remember) of a KDE app built against KDE 3.5.8 yet the specified minimum version is 3.5.7 (or older?). This can help prevent bugs resulting from this seemingly subtle issue. -- Darwin M.
