[pacman-dev] [PATCH] yesno(), cb_trans_evt(): print questions and events to stderr
by VMiklos 16 Sep '06

16 Sep '06

hi http://darcs.frugalware.org/darcsweb/darcsweb.cgi?r=pacman;a=commitdiff;h=2… pacman's man says: -p --print-uris Print out URIs for each package that will be installed, including any dependencies that have yet to be installed. These can be piped to a file and downloaded at a later time, using a program like wget. so in yesno() and cb_trans_evt() we should print our additional messages to stderr udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org

[pacman-dev] The state of Pacman 3, again...
by Roman Kyrylych 12 Sep '06

12 Sep '06

Hi all! I don't know is it OK for me to ask such question here, but where is Aurelien Foret? And who is going to continue Pacman 3 development? I know that phracture had such plans, but IIRC he is currently busy. IIRC dsa also was going to take a look at Pacman code. I didn't hear anything from Judd Vinet recently too. And AFAIK most other developers have vacations or exams. In the last newsletter there was a line about recruiting new developers, so maybe some of them will take a look at Pacman? VMiklos is sending patches from Frugalware's branch but there are nobody in Arch team who applies them. This is sad. I hope the situation will change in the next few months. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

by VMiklos 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

hi this 2 patches move pacman's db_search() to libalpm since most frontends would have some search functionality http://darcs.frugalware.org/darcsweb/darcsweb.cgi?r=pacman;a=commitdiff;h=2… http://darcs.frugalware.org/darcsweb/darcsweb.cgi?r=pacman;a=commitdiff;h=2… ps: everybody on vacation? :) udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] move the holdpkg feature to libalpm

hi http://darcs.frugalware.org/darcsweb/darcsweb.cgi?r=pacman;a=commitdiff;h=2… i think this is a musthave, and if all the frontends support it, then it's better to have it in the library udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org

[pacman-dev] PM_LOCK
by wael＠siemens-mobiles.org 28 Aug '06

28 Aug '06

Hi, in lib/libalpm/alpm.h, you define PM_LOCK to "/tmp/pacman.lck", but the lock file should depend on config->root, a scenario: I have a chroot at /home/chroot where I ran the following: pacman -Sy -r /home/chroot xorg gnome gnome-extra kde And i want to update and/or install on my real root ( / ), so I run pacman -Syu but pacman will exit since /tmp/pacman.lck exist, this is wrong, "pacman -r /home/chroot" should not lock "pacman -r /" since pacman will not touch /var/lib/pacman...

[pacman-dev] pacman libtar
by Maciej Borzecki 16 Aug '06

16 Aug '06

Hi, I have started looking into pacman code. After running configure on freshly downloaded sources, the configure did not fail on missing libtar. Is this behaviour correct? Without libtar build will fail. Perhaps there should be some notification on missing libraries. Maciek

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] new option: pacman --ask
by VMiklos 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

hi http://darcs.frugalware.org/darcsweb/darcsweb.cgi?r=pacman;a=commitdiff;h=2… the idea is to be able to pre-specify the answers from commandline to all libalpm questions for example if you want to say no to the "already up2date, upgrade anyway?" question, but yes to all the others, you can use --ask 32 if you know pacamn --debug, you'll like this option manpage also updated with detailed documentation udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org

[pacman-dev] required by relation
by Sergej Pupykin 03 Aug '06

03 Aug '06

Hi, All! I wrote in the arch mailing list about problem with versioned libs such as openssl and db. When I update such lib I should update all packages that depends on it, but pacman can not give me list of such packages. I see I can write trivial one line script or use gtkpacman or update whole system, but I think it is wrong when "pacman -Sy openssl db" breaks system. What do you think about it? (May be it is feature request...)
