I think the stance should be DO NOT put community packages in official groups unless we developers know about it. There are some very "crucial" groups that should not be messed with as the selinux packages make proof of, but why can't packages in [community] be part of something like vim-pulgins? I think this is actually a design flaw in how pacman handles repositories. I think groups should not span repositories. But maybe this is a discussion for the pacman-dev list.

[pacman-dev] dbs should be locked between _alpm_db_open and _alpm_db_close
by Nagy Gabor 27 Oct '07

27 Oct '07

Hi! The problem bellow doesn't appear with the current dummy front-end, but if you want to design a flexible alpm lib, you have to deal with it. The main problem, that the whole pkgcache concept _assumes_ that the db won't be modified by other processes. However, pacman locks db iff he modifies it, so he cannot trust his assumption. Let me explain. Imagine a nice pacman GUI which starts with alpm_initialize, opens the databases and let user do multiple operations. pacman_gui can run all the day, without unregistering the databases, alpm_release etc. etc. The main problem, that if pacman_gui (== libalpm) let an other pacman instance to modify the local db, he should always reload the pkgcache, because it may be outdated! So the following situation can happen: pacman_gui loaded the pkgcache to list the available local packages to the user, and now he is waiting. During this an other pacman instance removed lot of packages (he could lock anf unlock the db, since pacman_gui didn't lock anything yet) and exited. pacman_gui didn't detect anything from this. Now the user ask pacman_gui to install some packages: now he locks the dbs, but he trust its outdated pkgcache: for example its depchecks will use this outdated information... So _alpm_db_open should lock database, and _alpm_db_close should unlock it. The problem here, that now a non-root user cannot write /var/lib/pacman/local/db.lck, but we can solve this somehow. (Note, that I'm suggesting a lock-per-db method here.) Another (not-so-strict but slower) possible solution a .lastupdate-like method to detect if the database was modified or not after pkgcache load, and reload if needed.

[pacman-dev] testdb
by Nagy Gabor 27 Oct '07

27 Oct '07

Hi! First of all, many thanks to Xavier for this cool stuff. Some suggestions/feature requests: -you don't free() anything in testpkg.c; this is not a big problem, but rigorous c-programmers frees everything in even helloworld.c;-) -conflict checking also would be nice and easy to implement -a small speedup suggestion (however, speed is not important here): line 176: data = alpm_checkdeps(db, PM_TRANS_TYPE_ADD, alpm_db_getpkgcache(db)); here you could use a fake_empty_db as a first parameter: -O(n^2) operation -my biggest feature request: an option to fix the problems instead of just listing them (at least rewrite wrong requiredby fields, and a suggestion "pacman -S --asdeps [missingdeps]") I will share my results with you, this is a nice database-breaker-bug history: -testdb found many duplicated requiredby fields; I had to fix them with db-fix.sh + re-pacman + pacman -U (I have no net at home at the moment; see my biggest feature request ;-) -testdb found 4 other wrong requiredby fields (however, extra requiredby field doesn't cause an error now: see remove048.py): this is the category of the REMOVEUPGRADE transaction: requiredby004.py -and an other old bug (fixed): sysvinit needs awk, gawk provides awk; and sysvinit wasn't listed in requiredby field of gawk.
