[pacman-dev] [PATCH] Ensure we are always in $SRCDEST before downloading
by Allan McRae 27 Mar '13

27 Mar '13

When VCS sources were updated, we changed into their root directory. Any following source was then downloaded to an incorrect place causing a failure in makepkg. Ensure we are always in the $SRCDEST directory before starting any download. Fixes FS#34488.

[pacman-dev] Incremental package index support?
by Anatol Pomozov 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

Hi, I am an update junkie. I do "pacman -Suy" several times a day. One thing I do not like with current pacman is that it redownloads whole index file each time I update system. :: Synchronizing package databases... core 104.4 KiB 104K/s 00:01 [######################] 100% extra 1416.9 KiB 171K/s 00:08 [######################] 100% community 1916.6 KiB 204K/s 00:09 [######################] 100% It is 3.5M it total even if only just a few new packages were added. Multiply 3.5M to number of users and you'll get a huge number. IMHO it is waste of bandwidth and user time. From other side index is incremental by it nature. Could pacman use index format that fits incremental updates better? A naive proposal is to use compressed format for "full fetch" (e.g. for users who did not update more than a week), and uncompressed append-only index for incremental. On incremental update client sends request to server "give me append file file starting from position XXX till the end of file", so only delta from the last update will be fetched. Then pacman applies the delta to client index. What do you think about this idea?

[pacman-dev] [RFC] Move pacman configuration to /usr/lib/pacman
by Daniel Wallace 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

After watching Allan's talk at SINFO, I remembered one big thing, when he mentioned certain projects moving away of shipping configuration files and preinstalling them directly to /etc and instead install the defaults to /usr/ and overriding them in a similar fashion to how systemd does it. So I asked about this in #archlinux-pacman and this bug report was pointed out to me [1]. Here are 2 ideas, tell me what you think. 1) Move everything to /usr/lib/pacman/ /usr/lib/pacman/gnupg/ /usr/lib/pacman/hooks/ (for later) /usr/lib/pacman/repos.d I am not sure how to order repos with this way, possibly with a priority directive or with just a ##-testing or whatever like modular directories. Or possibly use something like Before=community in community-testing so that it is checked before community... etc Leave pacman.conf and makepkg.conf in /etc but move them to /etc/pacman/ and remove repos from pacman.conf . Basically making it similar to how systemd's config files are setup 2) Move everything to /usr/lib/pacman , and make EVERYTHING possible to be split out. /usr/lib/pacman conf1.conf options stuff ... and config2.conf more options stuff ... community.repo ... this would depend on . Also, using the Before=community whenever a [repo] is defined 3) Some middle ground. In the end, I like seeing up with repo stuff looking like this whether you choose to put them in seperate files or not, making it so that repos can be organized besides just straight down the file. [Repo] Name=core Before=extra community SigLevel=PackageRequired Include=/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist [Repo] Name=testing Before=core Requires=core SigLevel=PackageRequired Include=/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist [Repo] Name=allanbrokeit Before=core SigLevel = Never Server = http://allanmcrae.com/$repo/$arch etc [1] https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/17690 Thanks, -- Daniel Wallace Archlinux Trusted User (gtmanfred) Georgia Institute of Technology
