[pacman-dev] patch] My speed improvement
by Nagy Gabor 10 Mar '07

10 Mar '07

Hi! This is in very early stage, just a proof of concept. Just for testing only (not merging to cvs). If you want to test it, after compiling, run 'pacman --repair' <- this creates the extra infos for the local db. Now .groups implemented only, so speedup will be seen with -Qg or similar. Fully compatible with the old db; it checks whether the speedup dotdir exists (if the answer is yes, it uses it). There is no option in "my" pacman to create speedup dirs for sync repos (because it should be downloaded in db.tar.gz), but if you want to play with it for testing, rename the repo to local and run 'pacman --repair' and rename back... Bye, Nagy Gabor My first test results: (after sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches;) Old: real 0m4.522s user 0m0.029s sys 0m0.060s New: real 0m0.788s user 0m0.002s sys 0m0.012s

[pacman-dev] INFRQ_* confusion
by Nagy Gabor 10 Mar '07

10 Mar '07

Hi! The constants defined in db.h are not usual: First, it seems logical, that NONE==0x0, ALL=0xFF. However you may forget about this, like be_files.c (row 222): "if(info->infolevel & inforeq) { /* already loaded this info, do nothing */ return(0); }" As I see, the author thinks of inforeq as exactly one bit is set to 1. However, if inforeq=0xFF and infolevel!=0, this is a bug. And if inforeq=0, this condition is never true. Bye.

[pacman-dev] Double packet [pacman 3]
by Manuel Mazzuola 09 Mar '07

09 Mar '07

First, sorry for my english. If i try to upgrade my arch box, pacman say to me that all remote database are unreacheble. So i tried to modify the XferCommand like this : XferCommand = echo %u and i discover that the url isn't correct : ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/testing/os/i686/testing.db.tar.gz/testing.db.tar.gz ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/current/os/i686/current.db.tar.gz/current.db.tar.gz the correct one is ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/testing/os/i686/testing.db.tar.gz / i resolved the problem with this XferCommand : XferCommand = echo %u | awk '{ print(substr($1,0,index($1,"gz/")+1)) }' | xargs /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o bye :)

Re: [pacman-dev] [arch] [LONG] pacman3 (or maybe pacman2, or some packages, or uploading) bug: package corruption

I'm am moving this to the pacman-dev mailing list. Please discuss pacman bugs there, for consistency purposes. On 3/8/07, bardo <ilbardo(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Today I experienced a strange thing: many packages were downloaded > from extra and community and resulted in being corrupted under > pacman3.

I noticed your actual command is 'pacman3' and you are using them at the same time. Are you using the latest RC? If so, it should replace pacman 2.X. Please try with the newest package.
