[pacman-dev] Version bounds for IgnorePkg
by Daniel Schoepe 08 Jul '15

08 Jul '15

Hi, A common situation for me is to ignore a specific known-to-be-buggy version of a package with a fix being available in the next upcoming version. I think it would be a good idea to allow ignoring a specific package version. The following patch implements this functionality. Since this is my first contribution to pacman / alpm, I'm not sure if I followed the coding style. A few notes on the implementation: - As discussed when I brought this up a while back, only equality constraints are supported, since the other types of bounds would have unclear semantics. - This is checked for by pacman and libalpm assumes that only such IgnorePkg entries are added. I'm not sure if this check should rather be handled by libalpm instead. - alpm_handle_t.ignorepkg is now a list of alpm_depend_t structures, not strings. This required some more widespread changes to avoid duplicating the code that handles assumeinstalled entries. Comments and suggestions are of course appreciated. Best regards, Daniel

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] libalpm: Force update when database is marked as corrupted.
by Sebastian Lackner 05 Jul '15

05 Jul '15

We are using a CDN to distribute our packages, and it happens from time to time that the *.db and *.db.sig files are out-of-sync. When the signature is updated before the database file, everything is fine. However, when the database is updated first, then libalpm will update the timestamp of the database, but leave it in a broken state (wrong PGP signature). A force-update is required to resolve this, which can be confusing for our users - this patch changes alpm_db_update to trigger an update automatically when the database is invalid.

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] Do not warn about packages optionally require a removal when ignoring deps
by Allan McRae 05 Jul '15

If a transaction is removing a package while ignoring all dependencies, there should not be any warning about other packages optionally requiring it.
