[pacman-dev] makepkg.conf - trouble 'upgrading'
by Dan McGee 01 Feb '07

01 Feb '07

When we do roll all this out, everyone is going to get a new makepkg.conf.pacnew file. Our format has changed a bit so we should probably mention this in the install message (e.g. no longer putting export in front of variables, new variables, etc.). One of the new additions is the INTEGRITY_CHECK variable. If this is not present in makepkg,conf, makepkg fails silently as I discovered tonight- when generating it does not generate, and the integrity checks never happen when building. I bring this one up more than anything because isn't this fairly standard and unlikely to be changed by the user? Should this just be at the top of makepkg.conf? It seems like a distribution-wide thing that is standard, and it should join BUILDSCRIPT and PKGEXT at the top of makepkg. -Dan

[pacman-dev] Removal of bindings
by Jürgen Hötzel 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

Hi, I don't know why language bindings generation is part of the pacman-lib CVS repository. Any swig-supported (not only perl/python/java) language binding can be generated from alpm.h and a swig interface file. Real language bindings will also ship higher level function/classes. So i would prefer to remove automated bindings generation. Jürgen

[pacman-dev] Fun supplementary files
by Aaron Griffin 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

I wanted to put this out there. There's a handful of supplementary files that would be nice to have in pacman cvs. One that I can think of off the top of my head, is an 'indent.pro' (see The Fine Manual for details) file for GNU indent (based on the pacman coding guidelines). In addition, it'd be nice to have a guide for translators, so they would know how to send translations (I don't feel qualified to write something like that). I had some more, I'll tack them on with other emails later. This is mainly here for people with free time who want to help out, so feel free to submit anything you feel would be worthwhile. Thanks, aaron

[pacman-dev] New RC up, getting close!
by Aaron Griffin 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

Ok, with Dan formally committing to the repo, we seem to be able to get rid of alot of these bugs fairly quickly. There is very little left in the bug tracker, so as long as we all feel comfortable, we should be able to officially release pacman 3 soon. The newest RC (8) is up at: http://archlinux.org/~aaron/pacman/ Please try it out and report _anything_ and _everything_ you can think of, no matter how small it may seem. Tomorrow I'll setup a semi-formal release schedule, and hopefully we can get this out the door and can move on to pumping out features (3.1). So anyway, it's time we all got excited!

[pacman-dev] Output questions
by Aaron Griffin 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

I have a few pending questions about the current output that I'd like to get some opinions on. Firstly, the spacing in -Ss output - there is an extra newline after each package. This was added a while back upon request, and i personally like it, but it makes the output real huge. Looks like the options are: * Keep the line (-Ss output) * Remove the line (-Qs output) * Add the line between repositories only. Secondly, we have an interesting -Ss "issue" here: $ pacman -Ss ^kernel26$ This should only output (duh) kernel26. However, it also displays kernel26beyond. This is because -Ss ALSO searches the provides=() entries for each package... this is a bit misleading. The options are as follows: * Keep this search and indicate, somewhere, that the package was matched due to a provides=() entry * Don't search provides=() at all So, I'd like some opinions on these two topics... there's probably more somewhere, but I can't think of any.
