List all packages from a particular repository?

miqorz · 2005-05-14 03:17:05

Alright, I've just ran through the pacman man page again, And I can seem to find a -Q switch that shows packages from a certain repo.

I want to delete all the packages I have from TURs and delete the sources from my pacman.conf and make said packages myself.

I don't remember seeing an option to list packages from a specific repo. Perhaps if this isn't a current feature, it would make a good one for future development.

er - it's scriptable to some extent using pacman -Sl reponame and some grepping of pacman -Qs ( i think, am in windows)

pacman -Sl repo

but only if the repo is in your repo list

wget -q -O - http://path/to/repo.db.tar.gz | tar -tvz | grep -e "^d" | awk '{print $6}'

if you know the db.tar.gz url and just want to see what packages are in there.

EDIT: *Sigh* nevermind. reread your original post and realized you were talking about something else entirely..
:oops:

Dunn oif you have done something similiar yourself, miqorz but i wrote a script for this

#!/bin/sh

pacman -Qi >./all_files

if [ -z "$1" ] ; then
    echo -e "33[0;37mNo repo given!"
    echo " usage: scriptname reponame"
fi

reponame=$1
list=$1_list
pacman -Sl $reponame >./$list
sed -i "s|$reponame |g|" ./$list
repo=`cat ./$list | cut --fields 2 --delim " "`

for pkg in $repo ; do
    if [[ $(cat ./all_files | grep -w "$pkg") ]] ; then
        echo -e "33[0;34m$pkg33[0;37m is installed"
        echo "$pkg" >>./installed_files
    elif [ "$2" == "all" ] ; then
        echo -e "33[0;31m$pkg33[0;37m is NOT installed"
    fi
done

echo
echo -n "Would you like to save the names of these pkgs to a file? (Y/n) "
read choice
if [ "$choice" == "Y" -o  "$choice" == "y" ] ; then
    echo "Currently in `pwd`"
    echo -n "    Save as: "
    read filename
    if [ -z $filename ] ; then
        echo "No name given saved as ./installed_files_$reponame"
        cp -u ./installed_files ./installed_files_$reponame
    else
        cp -u ./installed_files $filename
    fi
    rm ./installed_files
else
    rm ./installed_files
fi
rm ./$list ./all_files

like all my code it could probably be improved quite a bit but it does a good job!

give it a name and run it with:

script reponame

you can add 'all':

script reponame all - and it will tell you what isn't installed as well - i wouldn;t use it for extra and base tho but good for personal repos.

You can save the pkg names that are installed to a file and simply do:

pacman -R `cat file`

to remove all the stuff from that repo - obviously use such stuff with caution - that's why it's not and option in the script.

This is what I did based on the previous post.

#!/bin/bash

# List packages from a particular repository. Usage: command repo_name

comm -1 -2 <(pacman -Q|awk '{print $1}'|sort) \
   <(pacman -Sl $1 | awk '{print $2}'|sort)

This thread is kinda old, you know.

Use '-q' switch instead of awk:

comm -12 <(pacman -Qq|sort)  <(pacman -Slq $1|sort)

lpb612, you should know better than necroing a 7 year old thread.

Abuse of mod powers....

pacman -S pacman-contrib
paclist <repo>
