[pacman-dev] -Sp and -Se broken?
by James Rosten 18 Mar '07

18 Mar '07

Okay, once again while conversing with stonecrest, we noticed (mostly him noticing) that -Sp is broken and -Se is broken. -Sp is supposed to print out the URI of the package and its dependencies, we both ran -Se and it would only print out the package's URI, not its dependencies. Also, even though it wasn't updating the package, if it was already installed it would ask if you were sure you wanted to update the package: #flac depends on glibc and libogg james->monkeybox : pacman -Sp flac :: flac-1.1.2-3: local version is up to date. Upgrade anyway? [Y/n] y resolving dependencies... done. ftp://archlinux.puzzle.ch/current/os/i686/flac-1.1.2-3.pkg.tar.gz Shouldn't it also print out glibc's and libogg's URI and not ask if you want to upgrade anyway because there is no upgrading going on in the first place? And for -Se, it should only install the dependencies of the package and not the package itself. For example, pacman -Se gimmix should only with all its deps installed but libmpd should ONLY install libmpd and not gimmix, here is the output: resolving dependencies... done. looking for inter-conflicts... done. Targets: libmpd-0.13.0-1 gimmix-0.4.1-1 Total Package Size: 0.14 MB Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y :: Retrieving packages from community... gimmix 62.1K 117.8K/s 00:00:01 [-------------------------------------------------------------] 100% checking package integrity... done. cleaning up... done. (2/2) checking for file conflicts [-------------------------------------------------------------] 100% (1/2) installing libmpd [-------------------------------------------------------------] 100% (2/2) installing gimmix [-------------------------------------------------------------] 100% It installs gimmix anyway. ~ Jamie / yankees26

[pacman-dev] pacman 3 cvs output issues
by shild 18 Mar '07

18 Mar '07

Hello, i'm using CVS version of pacman and have some output issues (they are locale specific). My locale is ru_RU.UTF-8 and pacman handles this locale incorrectly at least in two places - trans.c and util.c output of pacman -Qi gtk2: .... Зависит от : libtiff>=3.8.2 atk>=1.11.4 pango>=1.12.1 libxcursor libxinerama libxrandr Удаляет : Не указано Требуется пакетами : mozilla-firefox xchat ettercap ethereal mlterm gvim fluxconf libglade librsvg trayer gqview .... this is `Depends On' and `Required By' in english - they break at multiline display because of incorrect string length calculation (function list_display @ util.c). output of pacman -Ss lsof: .... убираем за собой... готово. (1/1) проверка конфликтов файлов [###########] 100% (1/1) обновление lsof [###########] 100% .... This is `Cleaning up... done.', `checking for file conflicts' and `upgrading lsod' in english. i'm attaching a very simple (and very dirty) patch for this issue - hope it helps :)

[pacman-dev] Patch for kdelibs
by Dale Ogilvie 17 Mar '07

17 Mar '07

This patch http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=636952 fixes an annoying problem visiting some sites in konqueror. I personally experienced it on three separate sites, including my blog on wordpress.com. http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143082 It is marked as fixed for KDE 3.5.7, but the patch seems to work as advertised having built my own kdelibs using the wonderful ABS. Just use Firefox... you might say ;-)

[pacman-dev] Handling modules

I have a proof-of-concept somewhere that checked a PKGBUILD for "build_module" instead of "build". If found, it runs it once for each kernel installed on the system (checking pacman first to make sure it is a real package and not a custom kernel). Couple this with repo-add which gets all information from the package (and does not need to know about the PKGBUILD) and this would be a real straightforward fix to building multiple modules with one PKGBUILD. Now the *real* question is - how do we install them? I can think of a decent use-case: $ pacman -S ndiswrapper - ndiswrapper is no longer a package. It is a group. Each package has a setting somewhere (TYPE="module" ??) indicating that this is a module. Pacman then loops through the group, if a packahe TYPE is "module", it checks to see if the kernel is installed. If it is, it adds it to the target list. - so the result would install ndiswrapper-ARCH, ndiswrapper-beyond, and ndiswrapper-thinkpad on my machine. One problem I can think of is as follows: pacman -S ndiswrapper - install ndiswrapper-ARCH pacman -S kernel26beyond - this should ALSO install ndiswrapper-beyond at the same time I'm not sure how to handle this... some actual empty package named "ndiswrapper" could be installed, with the type= set to "module". That could be used to check for deps and things of that nature when upgrading or installing a new kernel... Ideas? Thoughts?
