tupac (TUrbo PACman) - a cached pacman implementation. UPDATED 0.5.6.1

Pajaro · 2008-05-24 15:23:48

I will add the package tupac-svn, to avoid the project becoming unstable after every important update I do.

I will also create a mailing list to announce when a new svn snapshot was published in aur and track bugs before doing a release.

I have to find a good name for this mail list, because in sourceforge you cannot remove mailing lists, so if someone has experience with mailing lists any name suggestion will be welcome.

Thanks Pajaro, it's working fine now, and it also feels faster than before

Anyone have a mirror for tupac-0.5.3.2.tar.gz? Server is down it seems

hardfalcon · 2008-07-14 22:06:00

*Push*
I've had a look at the PKGBUILD for tupac, and guess what I found:

build() {
  cp -r $startdir/src/tupac/* $startdir/pkg/

  chmod a+rwx $startdir/pkg/var/lib/tupac
}

So, actually, the source tarball to be downloaded from http://lapacaloca.com/arch/tupac-$pkgver.tar.gz should be (more or less?) identical to the package you get if you install tupac from AUR. Luckily, I have installed the latest version of tupac, namely 0.5.3.2-1, installed on my x86_64 desktop machine, so I simply did "tupac -Ql tupac", and put all the listed files and directories into an tar.gz archive. This archive should then be equivalent to the "original" one from lapacaloca.com. As tupac seems to consist only of a bunch of php scripts, the fact that I'm using the 64bit edition of Archlinux shouldn't matter at all, and my package should also do for any i686 box.
Here's my package:
http://hardfalcon.net/archlinux/tupac-0.5.3.2.tar.gz

Please note that I haven't tested the package yet, but I'll do this soon...

greetings
Pascal

//EDIT: I had 2 errors in my package, one was that I hadn't put all the files and directories in one root directory named "tupac", the other one was that I had forgotten to copy the symlinks from my installation as symlinks instead of following the symlinks. Installing the package on a 32bit system worked flawlessly using tupac -S tupac (and adapting of course the downloaded PKGBUILD to the new URL and MD5).

Thanks though

hardfalcon · 2008-07-14 23:02:17

Yes, I got that error too during my first try. It' easy to solve though, simply do as root:

chdir /usr/bin/
rm tupac
ln -s ../lib/tupac/tupac.php tupac

Then it should work again...;)
Sorry for the inconvenience, though...:|

//EDIT: I've uploaded of course an updated tarball where this is fixed.:)

For anyone who is interested, I duplicated the repository over to a git repository held on github.com. I figured that since the author hasn't been around for a while, it would be a good idea to have a copy of the repository, since it would be sad to see a project like this one die (It's just so much faster!). I also created a PKGBUILD that links to the files on github.

I'm wondering if there is way to update the link in the AUR to point to the file on github, so that it works for everybody.

Here's the repository if anyone is interested:
http://github.com/Kett/tupac/tree/master

Everything related to the AUR/ABS is in the aur/ directory, including tar.gz of the code and a PKGBUILD.
There is a 'built' package in the pkgs/ directory, which should be able to be used with pacman -U.
The other two folders are the original code, from SourceForge.

(Pajaro, if you have a problem with any of this, please let me know and I'll take it down.)

LTSmash · 2008-07-21 18:08:01

Thanks for tha pkg kett, I was missing it xD

andywxy · 2008-09-25 06:36:03

Thank you kett!

Pajaro · 2008-10-17 11:14:40

***PKGBUILD update: Now it is stored on sourceforge. No more server disappearence anymore.

0.5.3.2:
- reorganized directory strucuture

Pajaro · 2008-10-17 11:21:34

hey, sorry for my disappearance... Personal issues.

Since so much time passed by i would like to remake tasks. This is what i have from my own:
BUG:
- When a repository gets removed tupac does not realize.
TODO:
- Take away too much verbosity when uploading cache.

I will work on this in the next few days.

Again, sorry for being so away. Thanks for your patience

Pajaro · 2008-12-28 11:46:06

0.5.4:
- Fixed german bug
- Fixed bug updating database
- Fixed bug with proxy
- Added the possibility to use an alternate command instead of pacman through custom settings. checkout tupac --help

Error: unable to update tupac

 Following packages have not been installed:
tupac

This bit in the PKGBUILD has to be different.

build() {
  cp -r $startdir/src/tupac/* $startdir/pkg/

  chmod a+rwx $startdir/pkg/var/lib/tupac
}

Replace "var" with "usr". Thanks for updating tupac.

Pajaro · 2008-12-28 12:13:24

Don't do that! PKGBUILD updated in AUR!

This line was missing:

mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/var/lib/tupac

I got the PKGBUILD corrupted right before update and i didn't restore it properly.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Pajaro · 2008-12-28 12:14:45

0.5.4 (forgot to mention before)
- fixed to work again with the new aur revision.
- added number of votes to the search results

Berseker · 2008-12-28 18:58:17

I've just discovered you utility.. great work man..

resadent · 2009-01-01 18:43:18

Really nice program. It is very fast!

Thanks for your work.

Pajaro · 2009-01-02 12:12:27

0.5.4.1:
- Fixed a bug that prevented out of date results from appearing in aur searches
- Added settings option called VERBOSITY. If set to 1 it enables the old tupac behavior in which every single package update get listed. (requested on AUR)

Pajaro · 2009-01-02 13:49:29

0.5.5:
- Added an option '--aur-updates' that checks the version of installed aur packages. NOTE: it highlights if the version does not match, not if there's an update.

Majorix · 2009-04-13 18:30:09

I am not sure if this is a bug or just my configuration acting up, but my TuPac doesn't search in AUR, unlike it did in my previous installs. This Arch install is only a few days old.

Majorix · 2009-04-15 19:46:52

*BUMP*

Anyone? Nobody uses TuPac?

nirev · 2009-04-17 20:23:38

Just found out about tupac, installed it and testing. So far it is great, very fast indeed. But I found this when searching for "imgseek"

First I tried:

tupac imgseek

And got zero results. But then:

tupac -Ss seek
1 extra/nicotine 1.2.10-2
    Soulseek music-sharing client, written in python
......
6 aur/imgseek 0.8.6-3 (19 votes)
    a photo collection manager and viewer with content-based search and many other features

Strange... So I decided to try and see if this was happening for all packages or not. And, apparently, this only occurs with AUR packages.
If you search for a substring of the package name, you get results. If you search for the exact string, then zero results.

Oh, so another one with this problem. It seems the search function isn't working properly

demian · 2009-05-25 07:59:08

Thanks for this application Pajaro.

But honestly, the name is awful. Can't help but think of the rapper whenever i type it.

About the name: on Ukrainian or Russian it sounds like dullster or lagster or smthng similar. And it is opposed to turbo pacman.
