Re: [pacman-dev] pacman/xdelta using XferCommand

As Aaron and I have alluded > to, we aren't real big on getting this done ourselves, but we will > offer suggestions if asked. Great. I'm asking for suggestions! I have verified that my makepkg patch works to create deltas of old versions placed by the packager in the build directory. The attached patch is for 2.9.8, as this is what I'm running on my system today. 3.0 just adds some $CARCH stuff, no big deal. I have verified that the download and patch from my own custom repo works using my custom XferCommand script. See attached. Where to from here? Some have suggested using another method rather than xdelta 1.1, bdiff/zsync/xdelta3 etc. I gave zsync a try but had to give up when it failed to download the files from my tomcat web server. Possibly it would work with apache, but it wasn't a good sign. I feel that there are quite a few more moving parts to the zsync solution which weigh against it. bdiff is reportedly a better xdelta - I personally think xdelta will do until proven otherwise. Dale

[pacman-dev] makepkg3 suggestions/thoughts
by Andrew Fyfe 26 Mar '07

26 Mar '07

* Remove the '--usesudo | -S' option. Instead always use sudo to calling pacman when an unprivileged user runs makepkg and spit out a warning (or error) if sudo is missing. Is sudo part of the base Arch Linux system? * Move common functions to a seperate file. plain, msg*, error, warning, in_array, check_* This has been brought up a few times, the last time it was suggested that the file should go in /usr/lib/archlinux/functions. (I think that was it). I'll make a patch if that's where they're going to go. Alternatively an autoconf option could be added to set the folder when pacman is built. * Move --cleancache into it's own script. (Or remove altogether) It's alot of code for 'rm $SRCDEST/*'. Do people use it? * Move BUILDSCRIPT="PKGBUILD" and PKGEXT="pkg.tar.gz" into makepkg.conf. They're used in a few scripts. * sha256 sha3.. sha512 WTFs wrong with md5 and sha1? Do we REALLY need these? If they must remain I demand the inclusion of CRC :p * Remove '--nocolor | -m' option. If you don't like colour switch it off in makepkg.conf :p Is it used? Andrew

[pacman-dev] pacman/xdelta using XferCommand
by Dale Ogilvie 26 Mar '07

26 Mar '07

Hello, see my post on the forum (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=238317#p238317) Any chance that this "low-engineering" approach to implementing an xdelta solution could fly for arch, at least in the short term? This solution involves: 1. modified makepkg (see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=235654#p235654) 2. packagers having pkgver-1 in the makepkg build dir to create the delta 3. end-user implementing XferCommand with a custom xdelta aware script If this works well for some users, a full c-code solution in pacman could be rolled out further down the track. Thoughts? I see that archlinux.org and the mirrors have been experiencing some "bandwidth" issues after the python 2.5 release that perhaps underline the need for something like this in arch. Dale

[pacman-dev] new script: repo-local-cleaner
by Alessio 'mOLOk' Bolognino 26 Mar '07

Hi list, this is a script I wrote for myself, but Roman suggested me to send it here, so... here it is: it's a script that removes old packages in the local repo and optionally runs gensync at the end. I tried to follow the standards of makepkg, feel free to ignore it, change it, change its name and things like that. You can even change the copyright line and put Judd's name if you want. ---------------8<----------------8<-----------------8<-------------8< #!/bin/bash # repo-local-cleaner : delete old packages in local repo # # Copyright (c) 2007 Alessio 'mOLOk' Bolognino <themolok(a)gmail.com> # # This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify # it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by # the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or # (at your option) any later version. # # This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, # but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of # MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
