[pacman-dev] testdb
by Nagy Gabor 27 Oct '07

27 Oct '07

Hi! First of all, many thanks to Xavier for this cool stuff. Some suggestions/feature requests: -you don't free() anything in testpkg.c; this is not a big problem, but rigorous c-programmers frees everything in even helloworld.c;-) -conflict checking also would be nice and easy to implement -a small speedup suggestion (however, speed is not important here): line 176: data = alpm_checkdeps(db, PM_TRANS_TYPE_ADD, alpm_db_getpkgcache(db)); here you could use a fake_empty_db as a first parameter: -O(n^2) operation -my biggest feature request: an option to fix the problems instead of just listing them (at least rewrite wrong requiredby fields, and a suggestion "pacman -S --asdeps [missingdeps]") I will share my results with you, this is a nice database-breaker-bug history: -testdb found many duplicated requiredby fields; I had to fix them with db-fix.sh + re-pacman + pacman -U (I have no net at home at the moment; see my biggest feature request ;-) -testdb found 4 other wrong requiredby fields (however, extra requiredby field doesn't cause an error now: see remove048.py): this is the category of the REMOVEUPGRADE transaction: requiredby004.py -and an other old bug (fixed): sysvinit needs awk, gawk provides awk; and sysvinit wasn't listed in requiredby field of gawk.

[pacman-dev] pacman doesn't realize about letter package versioning when doing upgrades
by Mateusz Jedrasik 27 Oct '07

Simply put: pacman -Syu <snip> warning: openssh: local (4.7p1-3) is newer than core (4.7p1-2) warning: openssl: local (0.9.8g-1) is newer than core (0.9.8f-1) <snip> :: openssh requires openssl>=0.9.8g :-) It simply does not realize that 0.9.8f-1 is newer than 0.9.8g-1.

[pacman-dev] small bug in libalpm/remove.c
by Nagy Gabor 27 Oct '07

27 Oct '07

Hi! Look at line 122-123: _alpm_log(PM_LOG_ERROR, _("could not find %s in database -- skipping\n"), miss->depend.name); Probably you want to say miss->target here. You can treat this mail as a patch, since it is very easy to fix it (now I'm working on removing pmdepend_t and I don't want to create a new branch;-) Bye, ngaba

[pacman-dev] alpm_list_remove is buggy
by Nagy Gabor 26 Oct '07

26 Oct '07

Hi! That function seems totally odd. /* TODO I modified this to remove ALL matching items. Do we need a remove_first? */ <- this is partly true: *data contains only the last found "i->data", and the function doesn't return with an alpm_list. MEMLEAK!! Bye, ngaba PS: I don't create a patch, because I dunno want do you want: remove the matching _list_ or remove the first matching _item_'s data. My vote: 2nd. (Because then I don't have to resubmit my -Ru patch ;-)

[pacman-dev] Pacman maint branch (was: [GIT] The official pacman repository branch, maint now at v3.0.0-54-g09253b4)

Long story short, I figured it out and did just that. Down with CVS! (or to Aaron- we really don't need the pacman CVS repo anymore as all that history has been imported into GIT.) If we do need another 3.0.X release, we can do it from the maint branch. Once we make a 3.1 release, the maint branch will probably move to the 3.1.1 tag and be based off of there, so be aware of that. Until then, it will be stuck to the 3.0.X series. -Dan

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] alpm_dep_get_string
by Nagy Gabor 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

Hi! If you look into libalpm code, you will realize that usually only depend->name is used in log/error messages; which can be confusing in some context (sometimes, alpm assumes that the missing dependency is a canonical package name). See my note here, for example: http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2007-October/009671.html So I started to work on this. Most cases dependency is "created" with alpm_splitdep from a string; in these cases we can use that string in error messages. However, in few cases dependency "comes from" pmdepmissing_t, so we have to convert pmdepend_t to string. As a first step, I coded this converter-function; which is going to be used in resolvedeps only (in libalpm). ---------------------------- From 074e80216543c631f51079b4c27efbf8dcefff16 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nagy Gabor <ngaba@@bibl..u-szeged..hu> Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2007 02:16:48 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] alpm_dep_get_string Public alpm_dep_get_string function is introduced, which converts a pmdepend_t structure to printable string in %DEPENDS% format.
