Adding support for custom user data (notes etc) via %xdata% field
by vixfwis 21 May '24

21 May '24

Hi all, Is this something pacman devs would be interested in adding to pacman? I found myself wanting such a feature a couple of times in the past, and after a recent reddit post I tried to make it a thing https://github.com/vixfwis/pacman https://github.com/vixfwis/pacman-xdata Common use case - adding and searching for user notes in installed packages. Those notes would be inside the %XDATA% field in localdb. My current implementation has a simple --xdata <key>=<value> param for -S-U operations, which is then added to the current transaction packages in sync_prepare_execute. As well as -Q --xdata-search <regex> param, which allows for searching. Changes affect pacman and libalpm, although no existing exported libalpm functions were changed What do you think?

[Git][pacman/pacman][master] makepkg: remove GITFLAGS support

Allan McRae pushed to branch master at Pacman / Pacman Commits: d74d7ec3 by Allan McRae at 2024-05-20T00:18:43+00:00 makepkg: remove GITFLAGS support Supporting git source fragments (branch, commit, tag) is difficult in conjunction with GITFLAGS usage - particularly with the most common use cases that reduce the amount of data cloned from the upstream repo. Leaving GITFLAGS in place an documenting that various git source features are not supported when GITFLAGS are in used is not an ideal 'solution'. Instead, remove GITFLAGS support.

Pacman web pages - help needed
by Allan McRae 11 May '24

11 May '24

Hi all, I have setup the pacman web pages to be automatically generated and served through gitlab pages. See [1]. As you will notice, those pages are rather bare boned. Compare with the old pages at [2], which is ever so slightly more pretty... I guess some changes happened somewhere in the tools used to generate the site etc at some stage and we have not kept up. It would be great if someone could deal with this... I greatly doubt that it will be me! Problems to be resolved: 1) No CSS 2) No ToC (just the text 'Table of Contents'!) and extra for experts! 3) Our API documentation is not built/provided/etc I have created an issue [3] where this can be discussed. [1] https://pacman.archlinux.page/ [2] https://archlinux.org/pacman/ [3] https://gitlab.archlinux.org/pacman/pacman/-/issues/135 Cheers, Allan

We strip the trailing slash in unlink_file() to handle directories replaced with symlinks, but that then affects the dir_is_mountpoint() check. Add the trailing slash when we have established we are dealing with a directory.
