[Solved] Match source package and binary packages

As some PKGBUILDs provide split packages, is there script or something to figure out from which PKGBUILD it came from?

Something like

expac "%e %n" | awk '$1 != $2'

should get you pretty close, basically you are looking for packages whose package name is different from their pkgbase name

Or just:

pacman -Sp --print-format %e $PKGNAME

That gives way more information than I need, so the one from V1del was exactly what I needed.

Re: [Solved] Match source package and binary packages

Way more information?  It literally gives just a single token of the package base and absolutely nothing else.  The expac command gives a list of all packages and their base names for which there is a mismatch.

Perhaps I misunderstood your goal - but there's no way my suggestion gave *more* information than requested.

Re: [Solved] Match source package and binary packages

it does give more info then needed.

$ pacman -Sp --print-format %e vulkan-radeon
llvm
mesa
$ pacman -Sp --print-format %e opencl-rusticl-mesa-minimal-git 
spirv-llvm-translator-minimal-git
libclc-minimal-git
llvm-minimal-git
llvm-minimal-git
mesa-minimal-git
$ 

first package has mesa as pkgbase, 2nd has mesa-minimal-git as pkgbase .

(haven't tried the expac command)

Re: [Solved] Match source package and binary packages

Oops!  Yes, that all depends on missing dependencies.  The proper command would ignore those:

pacman -Spdd --print-format %e ...
