PKGBUILD and dependencies

Hi,

I want to ask, if there is way, that pacman automatically installs resp. deinstalls all the needed packages I put to the depends-field?

Re: PKGBUILD and dependencies

You could use the -c option in pacman (cascade), removing all dependend packages as well, if they are not required by any other packages.

Pacman automatically installs all depend() packages, if they are available in the repos by default.

I'm sorry to say this, but it's right there... read the man page.

Re: PKGBUILD and dependencies

Hm, exact problem ist following:

pacman -A ogmrip-0.10.0-1.pkg.tar.gz
loading package data... done.
error: unsatisfied dependencies:
  ogmrip: requires ogmtools
  ogmrip: requires vorbis-tools
  ogmrip: requires intltool
  ogmrip: requires gconf
  ogmrip: requires mkvtoolnix
  ogmrip: requires gocr

with PKGBUILD

# Contributor: Moo-Crumpus <do.not.spam.me AT web.de>

build() { 

[ "$GNOMEDIR" = "" ] && source /etc/profile.d/gnome.sh

  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

Had the same problem also with another package.

Re: PKGBUILD and dependencies

That's not a problem, it's the way pacman works. -A does not install dependencies. -S does, as long as all required packages are in correctly-configured repos.

Yup.  This will be changed in the future (probably the 3.1 release, heh)

Re: PKGBUILD and dependencies

Ok then I wait and hope the dependency support for pkgbuilds will implemented soon.
Now it's a little bit annoying to (de)install all needed packages by hand.

Re: PKGBUILD and dependencies

Make a custom local repo and put your package in there. That is the method I use and it serves me well. Instructions should be in the wiki.

You don't have to... when you install the dependencies and -A/-U a new package, you can also:
pacman -Rsc the-package

This will remove the package and all dependencies that are no longer needed because of that removal.

Re: PKGBUILD and dependencies

@toofishes: sounds interesting

@phrakture: This does not work, if I install the packages manually. Because pacman only removes packages recursively, if they are not installed by the user.
