[pacman-dev] ILoveCandy misc option in pacman.conf
by Laszlo Papp 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

Hello! What about ILoveCandy option in pacman.conf ? It occurs in the source code, in the config parser function, but there isn't any word about it in the pacman.conf manual and it doesn't occur in the default pacman.conf file in disabled/commented line, like the other Misc options do. Will it be supported in the future so that to be worth to do the relevant manual part and pacman.conf part or not ? Best Regards, Laszlo Papp

[pacman-dev] two patches for makepkg
by huntxu 02 Oct '09

1. let makepkg work with icc this patch is inspired by the gentoo wiki page http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/ICC First of all, you should install icc of course, see http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2252 Add your icc CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS($ICCCFLAGS & $ICCCXXFLAGS) to /etc/makepkg.conf. Add "icc" to the BUILDENV array in /etc/makepkg.conf Add packages' names (one per line) you want to compiled with icc to /etc/package.icc, if a package is not listed in this file, it will be compiled with gcc. Add per-package CFLAGS for packages(package's name followed by CFLAGS per line) you want to compiled with icc to /etc/package.icc-cflags. A few packages benefit greatly from the -O3 flag like python and sqlite according to the gentoo wiki. 2. let makepkg install custom license automatically When making packages whose licenses are "custom", we use PKGBUILD to install the license file manually. Since it is a common step for those packages, why not let makepkg do that automatically? Just specify $licensefile in your PKGBUILD(like $licensefile=LICENSE) and ensure the license file is in $startdir, it then will be automatically install to $pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/$licensefile when packaging. -- best regards, hunt

For the AUR, you just need pkgbuild parser, right ? And this is much more complex than pkginfo parser. Actually that's why I hate pkgbuild :) There was another pkgbuild parser in python , written by stonecrest, and used there : http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=dbscripts.git;a=blob;f=cron-jobs/check_arc… But I switched to using bash, because this is just much simpler and works much better (well this has changed with split pkgbuilds though :P). Anyway, go Xyne :P http://xyne.archlinux.ca/ideas/pkgmeta

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] Remove makepath function from frontend
by Laszlo Papp 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Remove makepath function from pacman frontend, because _alpm_makepath(_mode) is good enough from the libalpm API, so it was duplicated in fact, and this function from the API may be paramiterized with permission rights, while makepath from frontend not. It's a cleaning activity too, at last it wasn't used. ./src/pacman/util.c: - this source code contained the makepath() function definition ./src/pacman/util.h: - this header file contained the makepath() function declaration Signed-off-by: Laszlo Papp <djszapi(a)archlinux.us> --- src/pacman/util.c | 36 ------------------------------------ src/pacman/util.h | 1 - 2 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 37 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/pacman/util.c b/src/pacman/util.c index 353aae3..8f6948d 100644 --- a/src/pacman/util.c +++ b/src/pacman/util.c @@ -99,42 +99,6 @@ int getcols(void) return 0; } -/* does the same thing as 'mkdir -p' */ -int makepath(const char *path) -{ - /* A bit of pointer hell here.
