How to obtain a list of all extra packages by name only

lilsirecho · 2006-07-19 20:20:41

Please advise how to obtain a list of all extra packages by name only capable of being included in a file.

jaboua · 2006-07-19 23:25:39

Please explain "extra". From extra repo? From AUR? Packages you have explicitly installed that are not required by other packages? Packages that were not explicitly installed and are not required by other packages?

for each in $(ls /var/abs/extra);do ls /var/abs/extra/$each; done >file

you can even cat it if you want a pretty list... like:

for each in $(ls /var/abs/extra);do ls /var/abs/extra/$each; done|cat >file

i think that should work..

lilsirecho · 2006-07-20 00:47:45

I am looking for a list of all extra repository packages listed by name only...no .pkg.tar.gz and not those in my system files alone.

Are the arguments supplied sufficient for this?

elasticdog · 2006-07-20 02:13:00

Yes, those should work as you want...although you will need to make sure you run <code>abs</code> before that, as the command will pull down the PKGBUILDs for everything currently in the repositories (not just the packages on your system).

pacman -Sl extra | cut -d" " -f2

or am i missing something obvious?

Where do you see here running abs???

for each in $(ls /var/abs/extra);do ls /var/abs/extra/$each; done >file

You need to run abs before using the above line. Penguin's method uses the abs tree. If you don't have an up-to-date tree, your list will be inexact.

Oh, really. :oops:

just pretend you don't need to do that. Just....pretend.

neotuli · 2006-07-22 06:38:55

yes, but the abs directory may not reflect the actual status of the binary repo. You're better off using stonecrest's method for this reason.

paranoos · 2006-07-22 19:05:51

my way's fast and doesn't use abs!

ls /var/lib/pacman/extra | sed "s,-[^-]*-[^-]*$,,"

that sed part removes the version and package numbers so you just see the package names.

of course, you need to pacman -Sy before doing this to have a current list.

lilsirecho · 2006-07-22 19:32:07

Paranoos;

Nice list thereby....thanx

EDIT:I would add ....|less

Can also do likewise on /var/cache/pacman/pkg...............

Thanks to all commenters and hope it helps others in Arch userland!

T-Dawg · 2006-07-22 19:46:08

assuming you don't have to update the database

If you do it in <code>/var/cache/pacman/pkg/...</code> that will only give the packages that are currently installed or have been downloaded at some point and not been cleaned out. I wanted to point that out just in case someone interpreted that as being the same thing as what is listed under <code>/var/lib/pacman/...</code>

lilsirecho · 2006-07-22 21:28:08

Thanks , I guess you got a round tuit!

I see your point and I neglected to separate the two as different lists but using the same technique. :oops:

Kern · 2006-07-23 14:09:07

completely OT but

"a round tuit " i had a tea mug with that on it.
its a Yorkshire (uk) thing. "when i get a round tuit"

coincidence or ... ?

lilsirecho · 2006-07-23 15:30:43

Kern;

Elastic Dog received a round tuit for solving a puzzle I concocted.
