This is an automated email from the git hooks/post-receive script. It was generated because a ref change was pushed to the repository containing the project "The official pacman repository". The branch, maint has been updated via 7ddb645bd7cf7e1c56a508321df511864da411a4 (commit) via a05757f984f526233e90a774beb571dba8270ff0 (commit) via 20ba3cfe4e92beab9ae368bf73c1609f2555ee9a (commit) via 82522dd8c1f4cd9f19d0cae83368689971f48ebd (commit) from bdd8e92ff601aab44941e7572f6c48d7e32a3f24 (commit) Those revisions listed above that are new to this repository have not appeared on any other notification email; so we list those revisions in full, below. - Log ----------------------------------------------------------------- commit 7ddb645bd7cf7e1c56a508321df511864da411a4 Author: Xavier Chantry <shiningxc(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed Aug 5 16:12:46 2009 +0200 makepkg: always keep sources symlinks Make bunzip2/xz/gunzip decompressing to stdout, because gzip does not offer something like a -k option.

[pacman-dev] use of /usr/local with pacman
by Jeff 06 Sep '09

06 Sep '09

I just updated the installed pacman and noticed makepkg.conf's use of /usr/local in strip, doc, and man dirs. Should pacman allow any files to be installed into /usr/local? I've been an administrator on various UNIX clones for more than a decade and packages that were installed by the package manager, whether precompiled or a build recipe, always avoided /usr/local and any "local" modifications were put exclusively in /usr/local with PATH and library search path having /usr/local first so the user's modifications would take precedence. Just curious if pacman makes such a policy or if it is up to the PKGBUILD author. -- Jeff My other computer is an abacus.

[pacman-dev] makechrootpkg and $PKGDEST
by bardo 05 Sep '09

05 Sep '09

Is it my impression or there are some problems with $SRCDEST and $PKGDEST? I didn't define any of these variables in both my makepkg.conf, the guest one and the chroot one. In makechrootpkg, lines 155-157, I see: --------- source $uniondir/etc/makepkg.conf [ -d "$uniondir/pkgdest" ] || mkdir "$uniondir/pkgdest" if ! grep "PKGDEST=/pkgdest" "$uniondir/etc/makepkg.conf" >/dev/null 2>&1; then echo "Setting PKGDEST in makepkg.conf" echo "PKGDEST=/pkgdest" >> "$uniondir/etc/makepkg.conf" fi [ -d "$uniondir/srcdest" ] || mkdir "$uniondir/srcdest" if ! grep "SRCDEST=/srcdest" "$uniondir/etc/makepkg.conf" >/dev/null 2>&1; then echo "Setting SRCDEST in makepkg.conf" echo "SRCDEST=/srcdest" >> "$uniondir/etc/makepkg.conf" fi --------- So here the chroot's makepkg.conf gets sourced, and it shouldn't inherit any of these variables, but they get forced (in the chroot) to /pkgdest and /srcdest. Problem is, later (lines 240-248) the files don't get moved to $WORKDIR as before, but they go to $PKGDEST, which *should* be empty (because it's the guest system's pkgdest, which got sourced before adding the variables there): --------- if [ -e $pkgfile ]; then if [ -n "$PKGDEST" ]; then echo "Moving completed ${_pkgname} package file to ${PKGDEST}" mv $pkgfile "${PKGDEST}" else echo "Moving completed ${_pkgname} package file to ${WORKDIR}" mv $pkgfile "${WORKDIR}" fi fi --------- I don't understand because they go the /{src,pkg}dest, but it looks like they shouldn't. Even more, there's no directory check on the guest system, so guess what... if the dirs don't exist, the source and dest files get renamed to /srcdest and /pkgdest respectively... This looks like a bug to me, but given how many times I am wrong (especially at 2 a.m.) I'd prefer to wait for some feedback before opening one. Corrado

I guess this requires further thinking and discussion. I also forgot to mention that I don't like the group interactivity , but that is another problem.
