[pacman-dev] pulp integration / file format documentation
by Simon Peeters 23 Nov '17

23 Nov '17

hey all. As somebody who personally likes archlinux and professionally likes pulp¹, I am considdering building a pacman plugin for pulp. To do this ofc I will need to be able to parse and build syncdb's. I could probably use a python wrapper around libalpm, but: a) this might not be easily portable to other distros (the idea is pulp shouldn't be bound to running on the distro it serves) b) I'm not sure how much using libalpm will influence the host system's behaviour. So the alternative is to read and write syncdb's from python. It looks like the file format is easy enough to understand, and I can probably just reverse engineer it, but I was wondering if there is any official documentation on it. An in-between solution might be to read the syncdb natively, and write the new one using repo-add, but I'm unsure if this would be better. Greetings Simon ¹ https://pulpproject.org/

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] src/pacman/query.c: do not exit -Qo with error if file does not exist
by iff＠escondida.tk 13 Nov '17

13 Nov '17

From: Ivy Foster <iff(a)escondida.tk> Query operations act on the local db, not the filesystem. Also, a valid use case for -Qo is to discover what package owns a deleted file so it can be reinstalled. Closes FS#55856. Signed-off-by: Ivy Foster <iff(a)escondida.tk> --- I've opted to simply remove the relevant error messages here, since there's a good chance that the user is aware that the file is missing if they're querying a missing file. As a side note, this removes the sole usage of the translated error "failed to find '%s' in PATH: %s\n". I have not deleted this string from every .po file, but that option now exists. src/pacman/query.c | 16 +++------------- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/pacman/query.c b/src/pacman/query.c index 024d3e21..64c42f19 100644 --- a/src/pacman/query.c +++ b/src/pacman/query.c @@ -171,19 +171,9 @@ static int query_fileowner(alpm_list_t *targets) filename[len--] = '\0'; } - if(lstat(filename, &buf) == -1) { - /* if it is not a path but a program name, then check in PATH */ - if(strchr(filename, '/') == NULL) { - if(search_path(&filename, &buf) == -1) { - pm_printf(ALPM_LOG_ERROR, _("failed to find '%s' in PATH: %s\n"), - filename, strerror(errno)); - goto targcleanup; - } - } else { - pm_printf(ALPM_LOG_ERROR, _("failed to read file '%s': %s\n"), - filename, strerror(errno)); - goto targcleanup; - } + /* if it is not a path but a program name, then check in PATH */ + if((lstat(filename, &buf) == -1) && (strchr(filename, '/') == NULL)) { + search_path(&filename, &buf); } if(!lrealpath(filename, rpath)) { -- 2.15.0

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] makepkg: avoid false "Signing package(s)" msg when signing is disabled
by Eli Schwartz 12 Nov '17

12 Nov '17

Followup on c6b04c04653ba9933fe978829148312e412a9ea7 which refactored the signing function to run outside of fakeroot, and in the process moved the status message to outside the $SIGNPKG check.
