[pacman-dev] pacman 3.1.0: new repositories=( ... ) syntax
by Fabiano Furtado Pessoa Coelho 18 Jan '08

18 Jan '08

People, Pacman 3.1.0 has a new common "mirrorlist" repository structure like [core] # Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist [extra] # Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist Is there a way to change this syntax to this one (like rc.conf) below? REPOSITORIES=(!testing core extra community !unstable) I think it will simplify pacman.conf file. Thanks.

[pacman-dev] problems with string freeze or i'm doing something wrong?
by João Felipe Santos 18 Jan '08

18 Jan '08

Hello. I finished the message translation to pt_BR (using the final .po files released with the string freeze) and wanted to test it to see if everything was ok. So, I compiled pacman from a git clone with my .po files and ran it. When I tried a 'pacman -Si pacman', the messages "Optional Deps", "Packager", "Architecture", "Build Date" and "MD5 sum" were in English, and all the other strings in Portuguese. The options showed when doing a "pacman --help" were in English, too. Was this noticed by another translator? Maybe I'm doing something wrong when compiling. Thanks jfsantos

Sorry, I'm really busy over here. Need sleep can't fiddle with it tonight. I attach my work so far done (pacman's pl_PL.po file, I haven't touched the libalpm one yet). There is quite some amount of strings that need updating. I maybe will find some time on Saturday. If anyone wants to help out, they're welcome to do so. This is why I send this as a CC to the pacman-dev list. Cheers, //m. -- Mateusz Jędrasik <m.jedrasik(a)gmail.com> http://imachine.szklo.eu.org

[pacman-dev] Restore .pacsave file if present - WORK IN PROGRESS
by Allan McRae 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

Hi, In continuing to misjudge what would be an easy bug to fix I had an attempt at FS#8645 - Restore pacsaves on install [1]. The attached patch is a definite work in progress. I have two queries: 1) Would it be better to notify the user of the restore or to query them. Either way they will get a notification about the new file being installed to .pacsave. I'm leaning on query here because that would allow the user to stop really old files being restored. 2) Should I worry about the case where a file used to be backed up but is not now. This seems an edge case but would result in the file being restored then overwritten (I think.... I need to look at that further). Cheers, Allan [1] http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8645

[pacman-dev] makepkg patch - simple pkg class feature
by K. Piche 16 Jan '08

16 Jan '08

Hi, I hope everyone had a great holiday! Perl module PKGBUILDs tend to be a mess and some build() functions are not "standard". Now with the new upcoming perl policy all of the PKGBUILDs need to be "standardized" again. To help combat this problem I hacked up a package class feature where all the functions and package defaults are set in a class file and sourced before the package is built. The class file can define a set of build functions to call instead of just build(). Some advantages: - standardization of package types, even AUR packages could be uniform - code in makepkg could be moved to a class so that it could easily be override by people doing non-standard things: no man pages, i585 ports - anything set in the PKGBUILD takes precedence over the class - defined build functions can be optional (see the sample perl class) The patch is backwards compatible with non-class PKGBUILDs and I have been using my classy makepkg for 5 days. Attached is the patch, a perl class, and sample PKGBUILD for Sys::Syslog. Right now the class file has to be in the same directory as the PKGBUILD. Happy New Year! k -- K.

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] makepkg: add check to ensure we have non-URL files in build dir
by Dan McGee 16 Jan '08

16 Jan '08

Pacman 3.0 printed the following message if a file could not be found: ERROR: xxx was not found in the build directory and is not a proper URL. We lost this logic in 3.1 when moving to the DLAGENT type stuff, so a not-found file got passed all the way to the download logic where it failed with a odd error message. Bring back some logic to ensure only files with URLs get past a certain point, and fail if the file is not available. Fixes FS#9208. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan(a)archlinux.org> --- Decision time guys- this patch would 'break' the string freeze, but I can't think of many other ways to do what it does without (re)introducing the below error message. This patch also needs some testing with real building to ensure it doesn't break anything that worked before. In my 10 minutes of testing it seemed fine in most cases. So should we include this for 3.1? Even if the message is not translated, I think it would be better to fail correctly than fail wrongly as before. -Dan scripts/makepkg.sh.in | 6 ++++++ 1 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/makepkg.sh.in b/scripts/makepkg.sh.in index 219e2d1..ad95356 100644 --- a/scripts/makepkg.sh.in +++ b/scripts/makepkg.sh.in @@ -464,6 +464,12 @@ download_sources() { continue fi + # if we get here, check to make sure it was a URL, else fail + if [ "$file" = "$netfile" ]; then + error "$(gettext "%s was not found in the build directory and is not a URL.")"
