[pacman-dev] The state of Pacman 3, again...
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)

he discontinued pacman development

he said he will but then did nothing (because he is busy at the uni & work or so, search the archive for details)

actually i think here we should not say "i'll do something" but just have to _do_ it then if the patches are here then we can say we did something. _imho_ :)

Im totally with you i did not fetched the current source code yet, since the connection in my work dont allow cvs and subversion traffic (Yes, i know it is strange, but we have paranoic network admins here) I will look at pacman source at sometime even because i want to make a python binding of what is coming.

Me too, it would be great if pacman3 could be released still in this year.

Ok, ok , I can take a hint. (For the record, I am no longer in school - just super busy with work). VMiklos, can you let me know the latest patch that was incorportated into pacman3, so I can check them out?

i don't fully understand what you want :) probably you know how to check out the Arch CVS :) if you want to get the splitted patches then browse the list archive. if you want to get our tree then use darcs get --partial http://darcs.frugalware.org/repos/pacman 90% of that tree is submitted to here in the form of separate, small (reviewable) patches udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org

depends on what will be merged till pacman3. if libalpm should have a usable api then merging the config parser and download code patches for libalpm can take some time udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org

Right, I wanted to know what was the last patch that you guys (frgualware) sent that was not incorporated into the archlinux pacman tree. I wanted to go back through the ML patches rather than try and diff the whole source trees.

hmm, if you mean the last patch that _was_ incorporated, then it's <20060515163639.GW25005@zeroflux.org>, but there were a lot of ignored patches before that, too. see <20060506182054.GD19177@genesis.frugalware.org>, <20060331230117.GK5793@genesis.frugalware.org> or <20060228154630.GN3792@genesis.frugalware.org> an so on

i think that would be easier, but as you want. if you want i can do a diff (to clean up the pkg.tar.gz -> fpm and other cosmetic changes) udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org

ah, but before you start, please see <20060816145007.GM19163@genesis.frugalware.org>. the cvs seems to be a bit broken currently, so i can't run the testsuite before sending a patch to be sure i haven't broke something (and i think it was not me who broke it so i don't want to fix it, pactest passes our tree) udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org
