[pacman-dev] Patch for kdelibs
by Dale Ogilvie 17 Mar '07

17 Mar '07

This patch http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=636952 fixes an annoying problem visiting some sites in konqueror. I personally experienced it on three separate sites, including my blog on wordpress.com. http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143082 It is marked as fixed for KDE 3.5.7, but the patch seems to work as advertised having built my own kdelibs using the wonderful ABS. Just use Firefox... you might say ;-)

I have a proof-of-concept somewhere that checked a PKGBUILD for "build_module" instead of "build". If found, it runs it once for each kernel installed on the system (checking pacman first to make sure it is a real package and not a custom kernel). Couple this with repo-add which gets all information from the package (and does not need to know about the PKGBUILD) and this would be a real straightforward fix to building multiple modules with one PKGBUILD. Now the *real* question is - how do we install them? I can think of a decent use-case: $ pacman -S ndiswrapper - ndiswrapper is no longer a package. It is a group. Each package has a setting somewhere (TYPE="module" ??) indicating that this is a module. Pacman then loops through the group, if a packahe TYPE is "module", it checks to see if the kernel is installed. If it is, it adds it to the target list. - so the result would install ndiswrapper-ARCH, ndiswrapper-beyond, and ndiswrapper-thinkpad on my machine. One problem I can think of is as follows: pacman -S ndiswrapper - install ndiswrapper-ARCH pacman -S kernel26beyond - this should ALSO install ndiswrapper-beyond at the same time I'm not sure how to handle this... some actual empty package named "ndiswrapper" could be installed, with the type= set to "module". That could be used to check for deps and things of that nature when upgrading or installing a new kernel... Ideas? Thoughts?

I've been getting the same behavior > with the current version. Thanks for the clarification. I've also seen this behavior once or twice... but have been running pacman 3 for a while now. Anyway, guys - I pushed a new libdownload to testing (I guess it could have gone straight to current as nothing really uses it (yet)). It has fixes that *should* prevent the drop-to-prompt bug. Please test it out and let me know if this fixes the issue.

[pacman-dev] xdelta support in pacman 3.x
by Dale Ogilvie 16 Mar '07

16 Mar '07

Hello all, I reckon it would be great to download only diffs for new package versions instead of the whole enchilada every time a buffer overflow exploit is fixed in kernel26. Building on Thikasabrik's good work on the forum (see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=22872) I have come up with the attached patch for makepkg. FYI, I intend to look further into the pacman side of things next up. I hope I can make this thing work... Comments & suggestions are welcome... Regards Dale

Hi! I attached the file instead of creating a patch, because there is too much differences. Mainly a cleanup, but some new translations added too. Enjoy, Nagy Gabor

[pacman-dev] _alpm_rmrf is not the same as rm -rf
by Nagy Gabor 14 Mar '07

14 Mar '07

Hi! _alpm_rmrf deletes only regular files and directories recursively. See line 316: 'if (S_ISREG(st.st_mode))' should be 'if (!S_ISDIR(st.st_mode))' or at least 'if (S_ISREG(st.st_mode) || S_ISLNK(st.st_mode))' (<- I need this, because I started to implement my speed up ideas .-) Bye, Nagy Gabor
