[pacman-dev] Splitting packages with makepkg
by Allan McRae 15 Aug '08

15 Aug '08

Hi all, Now that pacman 3.2 is out the door and the initial bug fixes appear done, I am going to work on adding the package splitting feature to makepkg. So the time has come for some input on the prototype PKGBUILD for splitting packages again. We discussed this a couple of months ago on this list (http://archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2008-June/012123.html) From that discussion I have come up with a PKGBUILD prototype which I like (prototype 1 at http://dev.archlinux.org/~allan/splitpkg.html) which is inspired by the KDEMod method but has a few significant differences. This is a call for comments or other prototypes to implement this function. Some "rules" to help us all with this: 1) If submitting a new idea, attach a complete prototype (based on the one distributed with pacman) so we can see all details of how the packaging is done. Add notes if necessary. Point out the advantages of your method. 2) Note that the ability to separate the building and packaging stages of a PKGBUILD is going to be added to makepkg so that fakeroot is used for the smallest amount of time. Any new prototype should account for this. 3) No comments about how splitting packages is bad and this will be the ruin of Arch. Arch does not favor package splitting in its main repos and this will not change that fact. Allan

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] Add autotools magic for pactests
by Henning Garus 14 Aug '08

14 Aug '08

Added a Makefile.am for the pactest/tests dir. This is a blatant ripoff of scripts/Makefile.am, which replaces predefined expressions in NAME.py.in pactests with configure variables. This can be used to write pactests which consider compile time options.

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] Treat info pages like man pages
by Allan McRae 12 Aug '08

12 Aug '08

As far a package building is concerned, info pages need to be treated in the same fashion as man pages in that they both can be compressed. This separates them from other forms of documentation and so it makes sense to make that distinction within makepkg.

[pacman-dev] sourcing /etc/profile and set -e bug in makepkg
by Allan McRae 11 Aug '08

11 Aug '08

So, despite me assuring Dan that nothing could possibly go wrong, the commit to source /etc/profile rather than individual files in /etc/profile.d (http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=pacman.git;a=commitdiff;h=0e0a8461) has caused a problem. See FS#11179 (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/11179) for more details. Xavier and I are stuck as to what is actually causing this problem. The guilty script being sourced is /etc/bash_completion.d/modules and specifically the "type modules" statement at the top. What we don't understand is that this file is being sourced under both methods and why it is causing problems only with one. Even more confusing, the way it gets sourced in /etc/profile is essentially the way makepkg used to do it (loop over /etc/profile.d/* files). A work-around is to add "set +e" and "set -e" on either side of the "source /etc/profile" call. That is probably a good idea anyway as that sourcing should probably not inherit the "-e" property. But can anyone explain why we now need this? Very confused, Allan

[pacman-dev] Pacman only tries to resolve with the primary nameserver
by Teran McKinney 10 Aug '08

10 Aug '08

Hey, While revamping eleutherNet's ( http://eleuther.net ) DNS setup and giving it external IPv6 connectability, I found Pacman's sync server resolving method to be problematic during testing. Pacman 3.2.0 seems to only try the primary nameserver when resolving a server to sync to. The common (though not completely ideal) practice for using internal domains in VPNs is making the internal DNS server your primary and keeping your normal nameserver as secondary for resolving "real" domains after the VPN's DNS server fails to resolve the domain. Almost all applications will try to resolve through the whole nameserver list if there are no matches initially, but Pacman does not seem to.do this. Pacman is an awesome package manager, but having either optional or standard functionality for this would be nice. Thanks, Teran (sega01)

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] Fix segfault on x86_64 when using UseSyslog
by Dan McGee 10 Aug '08

Due to differences in handling va_list between i686 and x86_64, this bug can only be seen on x86_64. va_list usage is not allowed but we had been getting away with it. See http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-programming/2008-02/msg00005.html for details and explanation. This fixes FS#11096.

We have a regression here, and it is actually bigger than it looks at first sight. Can you file a bug report for this? Tracing the code shows that %o and %u are never even used right now, as they don't make it all the way through to the download stage. -Dan

CCing to pacman-dev. Can you open a bug for this instead of a private email, or at least email the mailing list next time? Thanks.
