by Rikard Falkeborn 14 Mar '18

Make the documentation a little more explicit about allowed characters for arch and pkgver. Also fix linting of pkgver which was broken if pkgver contained whitespace.

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] makepkg: use localized date strings
by Chih-Hsuan Yen 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

From: Yen Chi Hsuan <yan12125(a)gmail.com> Before this change, LC_TIME=zh_TW.UTF-8 makepkg has the following line: ==> Making package: foobar 1-1 (日 2月 11 01:13:42 CST 2018) With this patch, this line becomes: ==> Making package: foobar 1-1 (西元2018年02月11日 (週日) 01時13分57秒) The latter is more natural for a Chinese native speaker.

[pacman-dev] Parallel download patch
by lesto fante 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

Hello, I prepared a couple of alternative method to invoke parallel download but ONLY for external tool (xfer) and not for internal curl. I would like to have a feedback so I can eventually fix them. You can find patch file and explanation of the methodology used here; https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/20056?project=3

[pacman-dev] Does anybody look after the translation system?
by Ludvig Holtze 07 Mar '18

07 Mar '18

Hello! Since the Swedish translation of pacman is incomplete and incorrect in some places I tried to join the translation team two months ago. I haven't heard anything since then so I'm not sure if I've done something wrong or if nobody's simply noticed my request. Is it possible that someone could let me into the Swedish translation team? Kind regards, Ludvig Holtze (zeroxfourc on Transifex)

[pacman-dev] building pacman for a customer foloder
by pacman-dev 07 Mar '18

07 Mar '18

Hello Pacman Team, I was trying to build Pacman for installation into a custom folder. I downloaded the following pacman source code: https://sources.archlinux.org/other/pacman/pacman-5.0.2.tar.gz I then ran the following configure command: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pacman/ --disable-doc --disable-shared After this is seems to be using --prefix for make install but not when building. The binaries assume a location of /usr/local. See below for details. How do I build pacman to run from a custom directory? To make install I run $make $sudo mkdir /usr/local/pacman $sudo chown localuser:localuser /usr/local/pacman/ $make install At this point it has installed pacman executable at: $ls /usr/local/pacman/bin/pacman /usr/local/pacman/bin/pacman The configuration file can be found at $ls /usr/local/pacman/etc/pacman.conf /usr/local/pacman/etc/pacman.conf However when I run pacman I get an error, like the following: $ /usr/local/pacman/bin/pacman -U ~/mist.tar.gz error: config file /usr/local/etc/pacman.conf could not be read: No such file or directory If I go and link the file: $sudo ln -s /usr/local/pacman/etc/pacman.conf /usr/local/etc/ Then run pacman again I still get an error, just now with the var folder: $/usr/local/pacman/bin/pacman -U ~/mist.tar.gz error: failed to initialize alpm library (could not find or read directory: /usr/local/var/lib/pacman/) It seems to be taking the prefix for installation but not for compile. What do I need to change to make it run from a different prefix? Michael Power
