[pacman-dev] download code in pacman
by VMiklos 05 Feb '06

05 Feb '06

hi is there any reason why the download code is in pacman and not in the library? yes, i know, this way the frontends are not forced to use libftp, for example they can use curl, if you want. but i think this is not the same situation as the list handling functions / GList (ie. at a gtk frontend) imho placing the old download code in pacman, and not in the library is a disadvantage, and not an advantage or we could allow to use NULL as the download cb function pointer, and then use the our own download code opinions? if i would implement this then theoratically you wouldn't have objections? udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] sync_sysupgrade(): avoid adding packages with newer version & replaces to trans->packages twice
by VMiklos 05 Feb '06

05 Feb '06

hi http://frugalware.org/~vmiklos/patches/libpacman-proposed/replaces_twice.di… the scenario is the following: foo and bar installed in the sync repos we have a newer version of foo, plus now foo replaces bar in this case foo should be added to trans->packages only once udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org

[pacman-dev] db_find_conflicts(): bug or feature?
by VMiklos 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

hi in db_find_conflicts(), currently we do not allow symlinks to become dirs and vica versa. for example: build() { Fmkdir /usr/lib/ffox Fln ffox /usr/lib/ffox-$pkgver } can't be upgraded to: build() { Fmkdir /usr/lib/ffox-$pkgver Fln ffox-$pkgver /usr/lib/ffox } which is not normal. i've tried to fix this issue, but the fix is not so trivial. ok, a trivial workaround is to remove the following lines: if(!S_ISLNK(buf.st_mode) && ((isdir && !S_ISDIR(buf.st_mode)) || (!isdir && S_ISDIR(buf.st_mode)))) { /* if the package target is a directory, and the filesystem target * is not (or vice versa) then it's a conflict */ ok = 0; goto donecheck; } but of course this is not a sollution, this will ignore real conflicts, too btw this is a bug in pacman2, too any idea? Aurelien, is this a known problem? udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] libalpm: add the main manpage
by VMiklos 01 Feb '06

01 Feb '06

hi http://frugalware.org/~vmiklos/patches/libpacman-proposed/libalpm_manpage.d… with this patch i think we can say we have an initial api documentation. later we can write a tutorial-like manpage, too, but for the first pacman3 release i think this should be enough comments? udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org

http://frugalware.org/~vmiklos/patches/libpacman-proposed/20051222/installf… several scriptlet uses just usr/lib instead of /usr/lib and this is needed for them. also this was an incompatibility with pacman2 udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org
