So if you do that and we delete the deps.. we will only need them whenever we want to upgrade aura?

Yeah. You can do that automatically if you update with the `-a` option, as in `aura -Aua`. Even better if you use `aura -Akua`. `-k` shows PKGBUILD diffs, and `-a` removes unneeded build deps.

@Johnny: Thanks for the update. I made a tiny change to the arg order when using pacman flags. It's been pushed to the repo, so would you mind reinstalling aura-git and trying it?
Also, why is it showing you as the root user? Do you have `aura` aliased to `sudo aura`?

- Serbian translation added. Thank you, Filip Brcic!
- Fixed bug that was breaking `aura -Ss`.

Is there a configuration file for aura? I can’t seem to change the editor from vi to vim, and there’s a few other things I’d like to adjust (such as package building location).

For a while I've been on and off the fence over this, mostly because pretty much everything I could think to put in a config file could be done with command-line flags and aliases. However, build location is one thing that at present can't be changed. If you'd really like that as a feature, I could add it.

Malsasa · 2013-02-18 17:00:13

I am interested in the name of this your app: AURA. AUR + A. It is simple but beautiful...

Your genius feature save and restore, I don't understand yet. Please give me simple analogy. Is this like Deepfreeze system in Windows? CMIIW.

But thank you so much for these your effort... +1!

The configuration file would be useful to allow a user to set default switches that they’re almost always likely to use. Aria2c and wget do this AFAIK: every configuration option is a long-form command-line switch, and they can be overrided by using the switch in an invocation of the program. But the main features missing are customising editor and package-build location (also, aura doesn’t display nor offer to edit .install scripts).

Overall, aura is really useful; I’ve started using it full-time for all my package-management needs.

Thanks for noticing the pun

`--save` simply stores a record of all packages currently installed in a text file. You can see what one of these records looks like by checking `/var/cache/aura/states`. `--restore` compares the current state with a saved one you choose, then attempts to revert/delete as necessary. Note that packages can only be reverted if the previous versions are still available in the package cache.

$EDITOR will actually be respected if you run sudo with `-E`. But you're absolutely right about the .install file. I should have those checked as well using `--hotedit`.

Alright, I think if you're this passionate about a config file, I'm sure there are others who feel the same way. I'll get to adding one. Expect it in a few weeks.

I’ve got sudo set up so it defaults to using vim when called with `sudo -e`, and it ignores environment variables, but aura doesn’t seem to respect this.

/etc/sudoers
…
## Use Vim instead of VI. Vim is good. I like Vim.
Defaults env_reset
Defaults env_editor
Defaults editor=/usr/bin/vim
…

fosskers · 2013-02-20 10:19:42

At the moment, if Aura can't find the EDITOR variable, it defaults to `vi`.

I’ve always thought it to be good practice, security-wise, to not pass on $EDITOR to a sudo session as a malicious users could hijack this. It’s in the sudoers manual, after all.

sudoers(5) wrote:

env_editor
If set, visudo will use the value of the EDITOR or VISUAL environment variables before falling back on the default editor list. Note that this may create a security hole as it allows the user to run any arbitrary command as root without logging. A safer alternative is to place a colon-separated list of editors in the editor variable. visudo will then only use the EDITOR or VISUAL if they match a value specified in editor. This flag is on by default.

I’ve tried enabling, disabling and all sorts of playing around my sudoers file to no avail.

EDIT Completely off-topic: Is the Pacman animation from `aura -V` an easter egg? Nice.

I believe `env_editor` only applies to using visudo... Aura doesn't read the sudoers file at all, so it's not a surprise that it wasn't working for you.

`aura -V` is a bit of an easter egg... it took me a long time to do, too. I wonder how much people have seen it?

Whaaat. I even fixed it after someone complained about this a while ago. It works in uxvrt, sakura, and xterm, as far as I've tested.

Also... new release!

1.1.4.1
-------
- Support for the $LANG environment variable.
- Aura will now pause before post-build installation if the package database
lock exists. This means you can run multiple instances of Aura and avoid
crashes.

The documentation on `env_editor` is fairly confusing actually. Some sources imply it sets the $EDITOR variable for su sessions, and others imply it’s only for visudo. I’ve told my sudoers file to keep $EDITOR and Aura now uses vim to edit the PKGBUILDs so I guess it’s ok now.

Just wanted to say thx fosskers, using this on one of my many Arch installs at the moment. I am satisfied so far, and may be migrating more of my boxes in the future. It helps that I'm learning Haskell as well.

I use Konsole (kde 4.10) and I can see the output of aura -V (maybe encoding?)

Very nice indeed.

Weird. I'm also using kde 4.10, with default settings (environment is set to TERM=xterm, encoding to utf-8), but the output of aura -V is still not shown as expected. New lines are added instead of refreshing the terminal.

JohnnyDeacon · 2013-02-27 13:06:38

Strange, my settings are utf8 and xterm too, but I don't use yakuake, only konsole. . .

1.1.4.2
-------
- Haskell deps have been moved back to `makedepends`.
- haskell-http removed as dependency.
- API Change: function naming conventions in `Aura/Languages.hs` has been
changed. The localisation guide was also updated to reflect this.

Reded · 2013-03-09 17:06:18

Hi, I think I'm making a dumb mistake here but figured I'd ask!

When I do 'sudo aura -Ayu' to update AUR packages, I get this message:

aura >>= Fetching package information...
aura >>= AUR API lookup failed. Please check your connection.

And Aura exits. I can update AUR packages using something else like yaourt, but Aura doesn't seem to manage it Is this a bug could something on my end be broken?
