Re: aurutils - helper tools for the aur

This is a devtools issue, in particular with arch-nspawn. Please open a report at: https://github.com/archlinux/devtools/issues

Thank you, done. I haven't tested yet but apparently it's already fixed in master.

Hard to say. One of the reasons I'm looking to remove parallel is that it's not very helpful when debugging issues. See:

Thank you, done. I haven't tested yet but apparently it's already fixed in master.

The 2.4 release will likely stick to the old aur-chroot approach, with some modifications. Devtools bugs aside, the change from aur-chroot and dynamic pacman configuration to a single, static link to archbuild is rather big for a minor release.

https://github.com/AladW/aurutils/tree/ad/chroot (WIP)

Also a heads up on command-line options. In 2.3, aur-build has default makepkg arguments, but it will no longer in 2.4. aur-sync is unaffected. See:

https://github.com/AladW/aurutils/pull/635

Re: aurutils - helper tools for the aur

Is m4 a build dependency now, something screwed up (left out) in my nspawn container script, something related to base pkg vs group changes, or ?

	depends = git
	depends = jq
	depends = expac
	depends = diffstat
	depends = pacutils
	depends = parallel
	depends = wget
	optdepends = bash-completion: bash completion
	optdepends = devtools: aur-chroot
	optdepends = vifm: build file interaction

The faIiled build below. After installing m4, built and installed as expected.

Re: aurutils - helper tools for the aur

Thanks lahwaacz,

Was coming back to edit my post, you beat me to it. It was a my bad!

One of my container scripts was chocking on pcmciautils, (removed from repos) which was causing problem with base-devel install silent failure.

Re: aurutils - helper tools for the aur

Is it possible to rebuild the same version of a package from AUR using "aur sync" ? I'm trying

aur sync -cuf package_list

where package_list is a string of packages already in the "custom" database but files are not rebuilt.

I think you'll need '--nover-shallow' as well.

Re: aurutils - helper tools for the aur

If you look at the man page you'll notice --rebuild which is an alias for -f --nover-shallow. A nicer approach is to bump pkgrel and have aur-build automatically update to the rebuilt package. I use this:

Re: aurutils - helper tools for the aur

Just discovered this gem, and am looking forward to digging in.

Read the thread, but didn't see anything quite like this:

I have about 30 packages built/installed to custom repo.  Saved the git clones to $HOME/aur/projects/ (kept because i add a "groups" array).  If I want aurutils to see the saved git directories, should I:

1.  Move the git directories over to $XDG_CACHE_HOME/aurutils/sync/

2.  Set AURDEST to my current directory ($HOME/aur/projects/)

3.  Do a bind-mount

4   Do nothing, because it seems that PKGBUILDS get overwritten, making the above moot.

Re: aurutils - helper tools for the aur

A bind mount is not required, because even if you build with chroot the source retrieval step etc. is done on the host. Thus it suffices to set AURDEST.

aur-sync will however overwrite any local changes. There will be an option to preserve local commits in 2.4:

This might be a dumb question... but how do I update git packages? Should I update git packages?

Re: aurutils - helper tools for the aur

yetanothernewbie: You can do so by using command substitution:

$ aur sync "$(aur vercmp-devel)"

Re: aurutils - helper tools for the aur

You'd probably need to leave out the quotes, or it would pass the vercmp-devel results as one big string.

Re: aurutils - helper tools for the aur

Okay, when I check vercmp-devel it tells me that updates are available:

hashlink-git: r1290.f96bdb3-1 -> r1298.f955075-1
oh-my-zsh-git: r5338.40df67bc3-1 -> r5386.903a3e9da-1
rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar-git: 0.r413.dc8961a-1 -> 0.r415.d7fd67c-1

But when I try to update with sync, it gives me this error:

hashlink-git: r1290.f96bdb3-1 is newer than r1022.2ba8897-1
there is nothing to do

What should I do?

You can do so by using command substitution:

$ aur sync "$(aur vercmp-devel)"

That doesn't work, with or without the quotes. It errors on the '->' in the output.

aur-sync: invalid option -- '>'

Re: aurutils - helper tools for the aur

Is there any way to "recreate" build container via aur sync -c? My case is like this: I've replaced some packages in system (like pam with pam-selinux) and I want it to propagate to build container-it is used as a dependency for building other packages. Or should I just delete created container? Thanks!

Re: aurutils - helper tools for the aur

extra-x86_64-build just removes the whole thing, including btrfs commands if you used devtools on a btrfs file system. That said, you can just use arch-nspawn pacman like the manual describes to install/replace packages.

Re: aurutils - helper tools for the aur

I just installed aurutils and must be bumping into a n00b error with the local repo.  I read through the manpage and followed its example for creating the local repo but am getting this error:

sudo pacman -Syu
...

file:///home/justin/custompkgs/custom.db: Unsupported scheme 'file'.
error: failed to update custom (error invoking external downloader)
error: failed to synchronize all databases

I edited the system /etc/pacman.conf with a custom repo, installed, and repo-add.  My local repo directory now looks populated after the pacman sync that returned that above error:

$ ls -l /home/justin/custompkgs/
total 8
lrwxrwxrwx 1 justin justin   13 Jan  5 07:01 custom.db -> custom.db.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 justin justin 1024 Jan  5 07:01 custom.db.tar
lrwxrwxrwx 1 justin justin   16 Jan  5 07:01 custom.files -> custom.files.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 justin justin 1024 Jan  5 07:01 custom.files.tar

What step am I missing?

Re: aurutils - helper tools for the aur

file:///home/justin/custompkgs/custom.db: Unsupported scheme 'file'.

Why would file:/// be an unsupported scheme??? Are you using a custom XferCommand in your pacman.conf? curl and the internal downloader both support file:/// urls, but e.g. wget does not.
