Rebuild the whole system?

Benol · 2006-03-20 22:28:12

I've been quite amazed, but I really couldn't find any way of rebuilding my whole system with this famous ABS. The strange thing about it is, that I read in the docs, that it is possible with one command :?

So - is it possible, or not? Do I have to play a lot with makeworld or srcpac?

PS. Okay, I am used to Gentoo, so what?

One command to rebuild all my system with my defined flags, that would be cool 8)

.....well it's not possible atm

[edit] ....didn't know about makeworld :oops:

Dusty · 2006-03-20 22:55:36

makeworld?

tomk · 2006-03-20 23:07:45

Yeah, Makeworld - it's like Disneyworld, for geeks.

Seriously - it's part of pacman. No man page, but you get help if you run it with no args.

8) nice...

made my first package 2 minutes ago by the way
I have a problem with ArchCK though :? probably going to make a new thread about if I'm not able to find the solution (thus far .. no luck)

ABS and AUR are quite interesting to say the least 8)

Oh yeah, and you can rebuild your entire system with one command, too. Everything is done quite simply and transparently.

How's that?

So the RIGHT method to get software is "pacman -S foo". If I want to compile then I have to go to /var/abs/boo/foo and "makepkg -i"? Why isn't it described detailed anywhere?

Umm .. it's all in the wiki.

hmm...the only thing i have under /var/abs/ is /var/abs/local/ (which is empty btw) and the log file.
is this because i cleared the cache in the past?
if so, is there a way to rebuild the system still?

pacman -S cvsup
abs

to get the PKGBUILDS in /var/abs

/etc/abs/abs.conf to configure abs

and /etc/makepkg.conf to configure GCC flags and such

I couldn't really find anything usefull. Okay - it is described how to compile one package, that's all. Do I even have to use "find" in /var/abs to compile my package? This is the ultimate ABS? Srcpac seems to make a little more usefull.

But I can't still can't find anything about this famous one command...

try

makeworld

in a console prompt

NOTE : make a backup of your sytem BEFORE you use any of the options of makeworld
