[pacman-dev] file descriptor leak
by Aurelien Foret 09 Nov '05

09 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

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] fix missing FAKEROOTKEY export in makepkg
by VMiklos 25 Oct '05

25 Oct '05

hi first, thx Judd for creating this here is a small trivial patch for pacmcan-2.9.7's makepkg: http://darcs.frugalware.org/darcsweb/darcsweb.cgi?r=frugalware-current;a=pl… see the patch header for the details i wanted to send here the cvs diff output, but it seems Judd did not updated makepkg when he updated pacman to 2.9.7. in makepkg's version there is 2.9.2. so the other question: is it really in 2.9.2's state? i think it is in 2.9.5, but i'm not sure. then are anyone working on porting the makepkg-2.9.5-vs-2.9.7 patch to libpacman? udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] pacman-lib and libarchive integration instead of libtar
by Christian Hamar 22 Oct '05

22 Oct '05

Hello there. As we talked about with Judd on irc, that should be nice to drop libtar fully and use libarchive instead of libtar. First 1. libtar is obsolote and not activly developed. 2. libtar got many limits, which isn't good in future About libarchive: 1. libarchive activly developed project (http://people.freebsd.org/~kientzle/libarchive/) 2. libarchive supports many compression formats. Eg.: targz, tarbz2, zip, etc.. 3. Better documentation available for it. 4. It got shared and static library too. We are using a patched pacman in frugalware which utilizes libarchive, and we are using a mixed package compression type. (Eg.: We got bz2 compressed and gzip compressed packages too) At us the pacman libarchive patch was fully backward compatible with old pacman. No package changes or recompile was needed. My first libarchive patch is about to use libarchive in pacman-lib cvs instead of libtar. The mixed enviroment works at us, because we got a .fpm extension for packages, but in arch you got .tar.gz and i think need a little experimence to find out how can we integrate mixed packages into archlinux. (if it is needed) The patch is attached against latest CVS. (Oops. in this patch you can find a fix for Makefile.am which is in scripts/ dir. (Added pacman-optimize to makefile.am) I can not test this patch, (just only it is compile fine) originaly was rewritten of our pacman patch (frugalware) so please test it with archlinux. Test everything. The backward compatibility, etc.. I can not test it, because in frugalware we got "tons" of specific patches for pacman. I'm waiting for you answer.

[pacman-dev] pacman-lib question
by Joao Estevao 20 Oct '05

20 Oct '05

Hello everyone. I tried to make a rough python extension of libalpm but it seems that the autoconf tools in cvs only install the libs, and not the headers, like alpm.h. Is this on purpose? Or should I wait to begin develop such an extension? I am quite aware that this code is not final, and it was not my intention to distribute it or the module in anyway. I was just trying to get some work done now that needs to be done later. I'd contribute a patch but besides being autotool-illiterate I'm not sure if I'm doing anything wrong. Thanks for your time, Joao -- A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it. -- Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941)
