[pacman-dev] dependency resolution fails if package exists in different repos/groups
by Pierre Schmitz 07 Dec '11

07 Dec '11

Hi, this issue somehow looks familiar but before it gets lost I'll post it here. ATM binutils exists in core and testing. The core package has the base and the testing one the base-devel group. There is also a versioned dep from gcc to it. Now if you try to install both groups (as done in devtools) pacman fails with error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: gcc: requires binutils>=2.22 You can check for yourself by running "pacman -S --needed base base-devel" Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, http://pierre-schmitz.com

[pacman-dev] Multiple Keyservers?
by Kevin Chadwick 06 Dec '11

06 Dec '11

I had some keys for the community repo coming back unknown. I added a second keyserver line (hkp://pgp.mit.edu) to pacman-keys gpg config. It worked but I'm not sure if it was just a temporary timeout issue or it tried both? Might be a good idea to have a second one? I could check my logs if need be, but haven't?

[pacman-dev] [PATCH 1/2] Enforce signature download size limit on -U <url> operations
by Dan McGee 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

We had a 16 KiB limit on database signatures, we should do the same here too to have a slight sanity check, even if we can't do so for the package itself yet.

[pacman-dev] Accepting patches on github
by John Sumsion 03 Dec '11

03 Dec '11

I saw that several people have submitted patches on github. But when I follow a link to their repos, it's always a 404, so I'm assuming you prefer patches in email. So I'll send a couple through email. NOTE: I couldn't find any statement of policy on accepting patches through github; this search didn't turn anything obvious up: http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Amailman.archlinux.org+pacman+github+r… It would be good to state your policy on accepting commits through github here: http://www.archlinux.org/pacman/submitting-patches.html John...

[pacman-dev] Do you want Heads Ups about the Signing System
by Kevin Chadwick 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

Hi I'm new to arch but I've got automatic sig checks by pacman running fine so far on stable with just pacman4 from testing set to Optional (for the databases) TrustedOnly. I just had to tsign Ionuts master key with mine manually and also Allan Mcraes which seems to be unsigned by the Arch Linux Master keys oh and now also Ronald van Harens. I haven't tried many packages but when tryinh abs which is unsigned it went fine but the signed rsync threw angel velasquez angvp(a)archlinux.org is unknown trust. It appears to be signed by Pierre's Master key which I have lsigned with no luck. Not sure if you find these reports useful or just annoying until launch so let me know for any others I find. Looks like a good highly adaptable system :-)

[pacman-dev] Localization issues (Attention Developers)
by atilla ontas 27 Nov '11

27 Nov '11

Hi. I' m an experienced translator from Turkey. Contributing Arch turkish translations for a while. I have noticed today; some strings in pacman-scripts are very hard to translate. You see, Turkic languages are very differ from Latin origin languages; structure of sentence is almost reversed. So, using multiple "%s" variables in source string makes a lot of trouble. It is hard to translate and translated strings are hard to understand for native Turkish speakers. For example; "Running %s as an unprivileged user will result in non-root\nownership of the packaged files. Try using the %s environment by\nplacing %s in the %s array in %s." will translated into turkish properly, if second, third, fourth and fifth %s variables are supposed to %d, %n, %f, %z : "%s uygulamasını yetkisiz kullanıcı olarak çalıştırmak paketlenmiş dosyaların kök olmayan sahiplik almasına yol açacaktır. %z dosyası içindeki %f satırına %n değerini yerleştirerek %d ortamını kullanmayı deneyin." You see, how variables reversed? So if you, developers, mind to and if it is possible use only one %s in a string it will be much appreciated. Also, if you, developers, mind to add comments what is %s (a command, an application, what??) it will be great help to translators. Greetings...
