[pacman-dev] Please make the colourised output exactly like that of "pacman-color"
by Xavion 29 Apr '16

29 Apr '16

Hi All, It's great that "pacman" finally has native colour support in v4.1.0. It's just a shame that it's not as good as that of "pacman-color". Without meaning any offence, it falls way short of the mark IMHO. I'm hoping you can just replicate the colourisation of "pacman-color". For your convenience, I've attached the relevant files you'd need. I'm only requesting this because "pacman-color" no longer exists. -- Regards, Xavion.

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] trans_release: do not error on STATE_IDLE

[pacman-dev] [PATCH 0/9] refactor ini/config parser
by Andrew Gregory 29 Dec '14

29 Dec '14

As the first step to back-end hook support, this patchset makes the ini parser suitable for sharing between alpm and pacman by moving all error handling from the ini parser to the _parse_directive callback. This involves: * moving debug output to the callback * allowing empty section names (alpm already rejects empty db names) * moving Include handling to the callback * notifying the callback of read errors In order to do that I also refactored the config callback to use only a single pass by storing repo information until alpm is initialized and using bitmasks instead of the ALPM_SIG_*_SET enums to handle siglevel inheritance. apg Andrew Gregory (9): conf.c: store repo settings in dedicated struct conf.c: use masks for siglevel inheritance conf.c: parse config in a single pass ini.c: remove final callback call ini.c: move Include parsing to conf.c ini.c: remove unnecessary helper function ini.c: remove empty section name restriction ini.c: remove useless key check ini.c: move error output into conf.c lib/libalpm/alpm.h | 3 - lib/libalpm/be_sync.c | 2 +- src/pacman/conf.c | 304 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------------- src/pacman/conf.h | 16 +++ src/pacman/ini.c | 147 ++++-------------------- 5 files changed, 208 insertions(+), 264 deletions(-) -- 1.9.2

[pacman-dev] [PATCH 1/4] makepkg: checkout a revision specified in SVN fragment in download_svn.
by Lukáš Jirkovský 17 Nov '14

17 Nov '14

Previously the sources were dowloaded in HEAD revision in the download_svn(). If a specific revision was requested in fragment, the code was updated to that revision in extract_svn(). However, because SVN is a centralized system, this means that the changed sources has to be downloaded again. By moving the fragment handling to download_svn(), we get the correct revision without having to download it later in extract_svn().

[pacman-dev] [PATCH WIP] Allow pacman to be run as a non-root user
by William Giokas 15 Nov '14

15 Nov '14

In order to run pacman as a non-root user to install packages to non-system (somewhere in $HOME or something) it was required to fake your root status using fakeroot. This allows users to specify a config directive, `NoRoot` to tell pacman that it should not check for root privileges. There is also an option in makepkg to allow it to not use root, as otherwise it will call 'sudo' or 'su' when using pacman to install or remove installed packages. --- WIP. I'm intending to use pacman and makepkg as a manager for some game mods, and this was the only thing really holding it back. I had done some tests using fakeroot and other ways of getting around these checks, but this is something that I thought should really go into pacman. Will allow even more people to use things like pacman and PKGBUILDs for other things, like games and user packages. Might also let us do some testing without having to fake root. Because WIP I haven't added docs yet. Just thought I'd get someone to look this over because I generally don't code in C, and it probably is disgusting. It's really just a carbon copy of the checkspace stuff, except in util.c. Thanks for looking it over, and sorry in advance for it being horrible.

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] makepkg: bzr: update existing sources in srcdir without removing them first.
by Lukáš Jirkovský 13 Nov '14

13 Nov '14

The local changes are discarded when updating. This matches the behaviour when non-VCS sources are used. It also allows incremental builds. This changes semantics a bit. Previously using "bzr revno" would obtain the revision of the working tree. After this change, it is necessary to use "bzr revno --tree" to achieve the same result. The reasoning behind this change is that "bzr pull" that was previously used actually altered the original clone, making it impossible to freely navigate through the history when the internet connection wasn't available.

[pacman-dev] Pacman-4.2 release plans
by Allan McRae 17 Oct '14

17 Oct '14

Hi all, We release pacman-4.1 ages ago and there are many bug fixes sitting on master that I am too lazy to backport. So I would like to see a push towards pacman-4.2. I propose the following. 2014-08-01: Feature freeze 2014-08-15: Code freeze 2014-08-31: Release I have the glibc release scheduled for the end of July, so that is where the feature freeze comes from. We have a number of bugs in the tracker and patches in patchwork fixing bugs or providing some polishing that need dealt with. The two (or more) week gap before the code freeze is dedicated to dealing with those. In preparation, can bugs be filed for anything that needs done before 4.2? The major thing that I know needs finished is figuring out how to adjust databases that have packages installed using the old directory symlink method. Our current roadmap (with several bugs that will be pushed further back) is here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/roadmap/proj3 Cheers, Allan @Lukáš: note the VCS incremental builds is listed in the roadmap so your patches will be dealt with soon! @Andrew: Do you need your ini/config reading patches in, or would it be OK to hold back until the next release (which I intend to focus only on adding hooks support and call pacman-5.0).

Hi, this addresses previous feedback from agregory and also fixes a bug I found in my own testing. I've had success creating packages such as: https://aur-dev.archlinux.org/packages/ch/chromium-plugins/PKGBUILD https://aur-dev.archlinux.org/packages/go/google-chrome/PKGBUILD https://aur-dev.archlinux.org/packages/wi/wine/PKGBUILD Which are, imo, far more beautiful than the boundless "if $CARCH" checks.
