[pacman-dev] Some pacman and delta test results
by Dale Ogilvie 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

Currently I'm running with pacman 3.1 using wget-xdelta.sh as an alternate transfer method. I was a little surprized to get a delta download for pacman-git, pacman-git-20071107-1_to_20071108-1-i686.delta saving 1.1Mb on a 1.3Mb file. Applying delta... 1133389 bytes saved by xdelta. Then, I was a little bit surprized to not get a delta for Nathan's delta-test: http://home.insightbb.com/~nathanj/dt/deltatest-1.0.1-2_to_1.0.2rc3-1-i686.… => `deltatest-1.0.1-2_to_1.0.2rc3-1-i686.delta' Resolving home.insightbb.com... 74.128.0.22 Connecting to home.insightbb.com|74.128.0.22|:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found 20:51:10 ERROR 404: Not Found. Hmmm. Then, I got this: error: segmentation fault error: Internal pacman error: Segmentation fault. Please submit a full bug report with --debug if appropriate. I was trying an upgrade of: Targets: deltatest-libs-1.0.1-1 deltatest-1.0.2rc3-1 dosbox-0.72-2 glibc-2.7-5 libgphoto2-2.4.0-1 libsamplerate-0.1.2-4 Regards Dale

[pacman-dev] pacman 3.1 segfault (more info)
by Dale Ogilvie 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

Here's what happened, in order, in case it helps with figuring out what might have gone wrong. Note this is using wget-xdelta.sh for XferCommand. Targets: deltatest-libs-1.0.1-1 deltatest-1.0.2rc3-1 dosbox-0.72-2 glibc-2.7-5 libgphoto2-2.4.0-1 libsamplerate-0.1.2-4 pacman pulled down all packages before libgphoto2 no problems. pacman tried to pull libgphoto2-2.4.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz from ftp://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/archlinux/extra/os/i686, which is the first of only two entries in my mirrorlist. It failed, which is interesting, possibly this mirror was not quite finished syncing. It then successfully downloaded libsamplerate-0.1.2-4-i686.pkg.tar.gz, which was the last package in the targets for update. It then segfaulted. error: segmentation fault error: Internal pacman error: Segmentation fault. Please submit a full bug report with --debug if appropriate. I *guess* at this point it would have been trying the second server in my mirrorlist for the missing libgphoto2-2.4.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz package. I then removed the pacman lock file so I could run pacman again. I did a pacman -Su to redo the upgrade At this point it still failed to find the libgphoto2 package on my first mirror, but did manage to begin downloading it from the second mirror (ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/archlinux/extra/os/i686). I cntrl-C'ed it. as I wasn't sure why it was hitting 2 mirrors... Then I did a pacman -Syu to freshen things up, this time I get a new package in my targets, imagemagick. The upgrade works perfectly, with libgphoto2 being found on my first mirror *this time*. All's well that ends well? My pick would be something to do with the package not being available on that first mirror... Dale

[pacman-dev] Typo in src/pacman/sync.c
by Giovanni Scafora 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

Hi guys, I'm not sure but I think that I found a typo in src/pacman/sync.c at line 492: fprintf(stderr, _("'error: %s': %s\n"), I guess that it should be: fprintf(stderr, _("error: '%s': %s\n"), -- Giovanni Scafora Arch Linux Trusted User (voidnull) http://www.archlinux.org linuxmania(a)gmail.com

[pacman-dev] New date epoch stuff in pacman
by Dan McGee 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

Looks like we need some debug work on the date stuff in pacman: $ pacQi xtrans Name : xtrans ... Build Date : Wed Dec 31 17:59:59 1969 Install Date : Wed Dec 31 17:59:59 1969 ... Clearly I didn't install this package way back then. :) I actually see how to fix this right now, but it is nice to give a heads up. -Dan

[pacman-dev] Updated Hungarian translation + -Rh message bug
by Nagy Gabor 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

Hi! I attached the gzipped hu.po file. I found an issue during localization: -Rh prints usage twice. Bye, ngaba PS: "Optional deps:" is too long to fit in the "column" in Hungarian, and I didn't want to reformat all of the --info messages, so I had to use an abbreviation here :-( ---------------------------------------------------- SZTE Egyetemi Könyvtár - http://www.bibl.u-szeged.hu This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/

However, it missed a few things: * If we weren't in the C/POSIX/en_US locale, the date parsing would fail as it tried to use the abbreviations of the locale being used. Fix this by switching the LC_TIME value before we parse a date. * We used ctime to print the date value, which is always the C locale string. Instead, use strftime to print a localized date string.

[pacman-dev] Adding namcap-git to the [pacman-git] repo
by bardo 09 Nov '07

Is namcap in good shape? Is it ready to be tested? Or will it come long after pacman 3.1? Does it make sense to file a bug report on the current namcap? Corrado

[pacman-dev] Delta testing
by Nathan Jones 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

I have created a repo for those you who may want to help test the xdelta code in pacman 3.1. There is just one package in the repo: deltatest. I will try to update the package at least once a day. Steps for delta goodness: 1. Install pacman from git 2. Install xdelta: pacman -S xdelta 3. Add UseDelta to your pacman.conf 4. Add the deltatest server to pacman.conf: [deltatest] Server = http://home.insightbb.com/~nathanj/dt 5. Install the package: pacman -Sy deltatest 6. Update the package whenever you want 7. Report many, many bugs
