As an experiment I modified packer to show the installed status of packages.

Searching 4359 packages (packer -Ss a), packer takes 1 second, and the modified packer takes 20 seconds. (yaourt took 3 minutes 43 seconds). There might be a faster way to do it, though.

I am thinking of a way to do it with pacman -T that might be reasonbly fast. We'll see.

I think it would be beneficial and again it's something to complete the -S set of arguments.

I am not sure how to search for package groups on aur.

It would simply call sudo pacman -Sg so it wouldn't be searching AUR.
Currently, I have to do pacman -Sg or pacman -Sg | grep searchstring. If I could do packer -Sg to display all groups and packer -Sg searchstring (no pipe and no grep) to search, I would be really happy.

But what I would really like to see is the implementation of the -q(uiet) argument. Try pacman -Ss and then -Ssq to see the difference.

AFAIK there is no such sillyness.

If you are just searching through pacman repos for groups, I am confused as to why you don't just use pacman. If searching through the groups is a real problem and you do it a lot, I would talk to pacman devs or write a simple pacman -Sg | grep $1 alias/script. Packer does not really intend to extend pacman functionality at this point at least. That leads you on the road to bloatsville in my opinion.

-Ssq is actually probably pretty useful, I might have go grit my teeth and actually implement a real argument parsing strategy though to implement it, that is the only barrier tongue. It's in the queue we'll say. I might also implement it as --quiet. We'll see.

Re: packer - New bash aur+pacman wrapper (replaces poorly written yaourt)

Well, you've got a point there. Somehow I envisioned using packer exclusively for all my searches and installs and using pacman for querying, removing and everything else.

Let's stay away from Bloatsville then.

Re: packer - New bash aur+pacman wrapper (replaces poorly written yaourt)

I'm using a lot this command:

yaourt -G <packagename>

to download the PKGCONFIG (and friends) in the current directory for the given package.

Will there be something similar implemented for packer?

Re: packer - New bash aur+pacman wrapper (replaces poorly written yaourt)

One more question too.

Will it be possible or is it actually possible to choose the $EDITOR in order too check pkgbuilds ? I personally am used too nano instead of vi.

Thanks for packer.

Unless I read this wrong, it should already do this:

${EDITOR:-vi} PKGBUILD

Thanks for packer.

You need to set the EDITOR environment variable. For instance, in your /etc/profile, put a line that says export EDITOR="emacs". This is a pretty common unix convention to rely on the EDITOR env variable.

I don't understand.

[[ $localpackages ]] || exit

This on line 496 tests if there are any packages for whom finding dependencies was successful. Shrug.

Put this function in your .bashrc

getaurtarball() {
  wget "http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/$1/$1.tar.gz" && tar xf "$1.tar.gz"
}

I don't know. It seems so trivial. If people really ask for it, I guess I can add it. It just does not strike me as something for which a wrapper is necessary.

Re: packer - New bash aur+pacman wrapper (replaces poorly written yaourt)

Wow, that's pretty freakin fast smile I suggest putting whether or not a package is installed next to the package name while searching and also the number of AUR votes. Those are two things I'm very used to so I kinda need them, well at least the installed. EDIT: I guess that would really slow it down though hmm Calling pacman a crapload of times...

Well, will still be replacing yaourt for me though smile

EDIT: Small bug, on the syncing AUR progress bar, it shows two % signs tongue

It shows one % here. I changed the line that outputs that to use echo instead of printf because the printf syntax for outputting a % is %%. I don't know if that fixes it.

Seems like you should be doing pacman -Syy ; packer -Su.

Re: packer - New bash aur+pacman wrapper (replaces poorly written yaourt)

Fair enough.

Just to explain why I thought it'd be useful - I'd like to use packer for all actions related to searching and installing packages and updating the system (official repos and AUR). And I'd use pacman for queries, removals and everything else. So, I felt -Syyu would just nicely complete the -S set of arguments.

Re: packer - New bash aur+pacman wrapper (replaces poorly written yaourt)

It doesn't install bin-32-skype.. Says "Dependency ` lib32-pcre' of `bin32-skype' does not exist.".

Maybe trim the leading space?

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bin32 … e/PKGBUILD

Yep, there's an extra space in the depends line for ' lib32-pcre'. Someone already posted a comment to the maintainer about it, but it apparently didn't get fixed. tongue

I don't know if packer should "fix" this kind of thing. Also, you can always edit the PKGBUILD yourself when you run packer. smile
