[pacman-dev] a small try to solve the "install something which conflicts" problem
by VMiklos 18 Dec '05

18 Dec '05

ok, so we have this problem, (can't remove a package while a sync transaction is in progress) but that's only the end of the problem, the way is long till that :) http://frugalware.org/~vmiklos/patches/libpacman-proposed/conflict-remove.d… so here is a small try: - it will ask you if you want to remove the given pkg - not just exits silently without explaining what's the problem - it compiles but there is a '// XXX' where the remove transaction should be done - currently it segfaults after you answered and i have not too much idea about why so this is a "hoy hoy", i tried to do something around this big problem, but i need help, i can't solve it only by myself :) udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org

[pacman-dev] PYneALPM - libalpm in python
by Joao Estevao 16 Dec '05

16 Dec '05

Hello, I'm João Estêvão and I've been busy making a libalpm extension for python. It'll be very useful to anyone, like myself, making frontends in python/pygtk/pyqt. It has an object oriented approach and supports iterators of packages and groups. So far it hasn't had much testing but you can find the code here: http://pwp.netcabo.pt/tranquility/pynealpm/pynealpm-0.0.0.tar.bz2 Comments appreciated. -- A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it. -- Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941)

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] dependsonly option to libalpm/pacman
by VMiklos 11 Dec '05

11 Dec '05

hi currently if you want to install a pkg from source or from a local package, you have to a pacman -S foo, and then a pacman -R foo. with this patch you can do a pacman -Se foo, which will install only the deps of the given pkg. this option is also usefull, when you want to install the given pkg with different options, for example with -f once this was already implemented (see #3220), but i've got no answers. now i've ported the patch to pacman3: http://frugalware.org/~vmiklos/patches/libpacman-proposed/dependsonly.diff udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org

[pacman-dev] file descriptor leak
by Aurelien Foret 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

Hi, For information, I've found and fixed a file descriptor leak in pacman-lib CVS. Here is the patch backported against pacman 2.9.7. I'm not sure of that, but it may be the root cause of the bug #3259 (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/3259). -- Aurelien

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] pacman-lib /usr/sbin/chroot replace diff to chroot() (was in TODO)
by Christian Hamar 06 Nov '05

06 Nov '05

Hello there. So i completed other entry which was in TODO. I hacked pacman-lib to use chroot() system calls and not the binary one. Entry was in TODO. The attached patch is for latest checked pacman-lib, which is: 2005-10-29 09:18 aurelien * src/pacman/: conf.c, conf.h: fixed parseconfig usage Patch description: ------------------ Removed: -------- * Removed old chroot binary detection part * Removed global declaration for chrootbin. Added: ------ * Added a complete new way to chroot and do things. Modified: --------- * Modified cmdline snprintf's to right way. Eliminated | (pipe) and echo things, which looked terrible ugly :) As you need to know, this patch using a fork() and chroot() and execl() instead of system() call. execl() looks better and safer. fork() is required for chrooting in child process, if i do not do a fork() then whole process stays in chrooted env. So fork is neccessary as i think. Please test it and see it, if it is ok, then commit it. (I tested it, worked for me) Regards Christian Hamar alias krix Hungary Frugalware Development Team
