[pacman-dev] pacman problems
by antonio.grande＠uniroma1.it 18 Mar '10

18 Mar '10

I'am a newbie so please thank you for your patience. Executing pacman -S samba I've this error: failed retriving file 'tdb-1.2.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz' But both two mirrors I've in my etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist contain the filename "tdb-1.2.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz" where there is a difference about the version 1.2.1 and also in the extension .xz instead of .gz My pacman version is 3.3.3-1 which is the latest. Someone can help me? Thank you. Antonio Grande

[pacman-dev] pacman, formatted output
by tuxce 16 Mar '10

16 Mar '10

Hi, I made a little program in C, package-query to query alpm and aur. He takes an option to format his output and I'm wondering if this feature can be implemented in pacman (just for alpm of course). I think I can provide a patch to implement it for queries like -{Q,S}s with an option --format, but I don't know if it could interest. To see how it renders, you can try package-query-git from AUR, example: $ # repo/name version [local version] $ package-query -Ss pacman -f "%r/%n %v [%l]" core/pacman 3.3.3-1 [3.3.3-1] core/pacman-mirrorlist 20100131-1 [20100131-1] extra/namcap 2.5-1 [2.5-1] extra/srcpac 0.7-1 [-] community/pacman-contrib 3.3.3-1 [3.3.3-1] community/pacpan 4.0-4 [-] community/pacupdate 0.1.1-2 [-] community/powerpill 17.1-1 [17.1-1] community/xpacman 0.11-4 [-] community/xpacman2 1.002-2 [-] btw, thanks for the work done in alpm, I found it quite simple to understand even if there is no documentation :)

[pacman-dev] pacman -Q --print
by Nagy Gabor 15 Mar '10

15 Mar '10

I have a minor comment on pacman --print: pacman -Q --print is the same as pacman -Qp, so the result of "pacman -Qi evince --print" is 'error: package "evince" not found', because pacman searches for 'evince' package file. Clearly, it is stupid to use --print with -Q, but pacman shows that option with -Qh. I think we should not show "--print" with all -h operations, this is needless with (not yet implemented) -Dh, too. Then I think we can forget about my minor comment above. Bye

I have one problem. It seems this commit could make a lot of users unhappy : http://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git/commit/?id=b4317a740ac2d4f5e4d1aa5… While I was writing this mail, I was sure I brought this up already. I just found some old jabber chat. 6:46 PM me: hey 51 minutes 7:38 PM toofishes: hey whats up 7:39 PM me: I should let you know I had a complaint from wonder about my rework of group handling 7:40 PM toofishes: what was the complaint? me: you know this old behavior : :: group gnome-extra (including ignored packages): eog vino :: Install whole content? [Y/n] n :: Install eog from group gnome-extra? [Y/n] :: Install vino from group gnome-extra? [Y/n] n I lost that when moving group handling to backend toofishes: yeah what does it do now again? me: lost all the interaction / questions 7:41 PM it should just select everything without asking select all targets from the group 7:42 PM this morning I asked on IRC if any users used/liked that feature, I got another two very positive answers 7:43 PM http://code.toofishes.net/cgit/dan/pacman.git/commit/?id=b4317a740ac the reasons of this change were explained by nagy in a mail : http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2009-June/008847.html 7:44 PM to sum up : the frontend can query what is in a group and gets a list of packages pmpkg toofishes: yeah 7:45 PM me: but it can only add the name of package : char * as a target to the transaction i.e. there is a loss of information 7:46 PM the same package name can be in multiple repo. or there can even be provisions 7:49 PM toofishes: yeah we should either accept pmpkg_t or accept a "unique" name like 'repo/pkg' the former seems smarter 7:50 PM me: note that by moving group loading to backend, I worked around / eliminated that problem 7:51 PM the backend can just query the group and do whatever it wants, in particular it can add the pmpkg to the transaction itself without problems but now.. if I think about interactivity and being able to only select some packages from a group 7:52 PM also if I think about what a different frontend, especially graphical one would do 7:54 PM it seems it makes more sense to let the frontend handle that. just give the ability to return a list of pmpkg from a group. but then allow to add a pmpkg or list of pmpkg as a transaction target

I wrote a stupid 10 lines bash program that tested every permission, and it seemed that both r and w were needed for strip. But IIRC, I did one test inside makepkg (so using fakeroot) and got different results. Actually I was probably so confused by the permissions I got in package built by makepkg that I completely gave up. Now I remember why I did not answer, I have only new confusions to bring...
