upgrading system with abs

wolk · 2006-10-07 14:38:55

Is there some way to upgrade system with abs in the same manner as pacman -Su does?

So you want to recompile the whole system? I can't remember how it works, but you may be interested in makeworld, which comes with pacman (makeworld -h to learn how to use it.) For more control, take a look at srcpac, which is available in [extra].

No i don't want to recompile whole system i only want to compile the packgages that have newer versions.

aren't the packages in current and extra build with the PKGBUILDs in abs, so if you compile them yourself, it wouldn't make any difference than sync with pacman -Syu

They are, but it's extremely easy to change the version number and regenerate a new arch package.

Maybe "yaourt" is something you're searching for.
It's in AUR. With it you can search fo packages in repositories and AUR at same time, in colors
Well, to upgrade packages that have newer versions (so, ye just upgrad ) you can do the following then

yaourt -Sybu --aur

This will upgrad your whole system to newest package versions including the AUR and with using PKGBUILDS for current,extra repositories.

cheers,

yes, i know, but he wants to update the system like using pacman -Su, which means to me: update to the latest official package version, which in my understanding lead to the same result...

blue poet of course i can upgrade them manually but when there is a lot of packages it's extremly uncomfortable. Beside when i execute pacman -Su it ask if i want replece devfs with udev, and abs will not ask me and i dont know how to replece it manually(pacman can change some system scripts e.g. init scripts)

no, I never meant you have to update manually, but unless you manually change the PKGBUILDs in abs you get the same packages which you would get with pacman -Su

maybe I'm wrong, but IIRC you still have to use pacman to install the packages you created using abs and it will ask you about udev and things :?

i won't gate same packages because i compile with my own flags.

you could do a little bashin'

pacman -Q |awk -F" " {'print $1'} >file
srcbuild -Syb --noconfirm `cat file`
