Pacman 3.1.0 in [testing]

toofishes · 2008-01-10 03:01:52

Pacman 3.1.0 has been released to testing. It has been a long time coming, but a lot of work has been put into it by several contributors over the last 9 months.

Note that some options have changed so your scripts may be incompatible with the new version and will need some slight modifications. In addition, makepkg and pacman no longer require .FILELIST files in built packages, so any packages built with makepkg 3.1 will show a warning in pacman 3.0 about a missing filelist- this can be safely ignored.

Please report any bugs to the Pacman Project on Flyspray or by sending an email to the pacman-dev mailing list with as much information as possible. Please check to see if your problem has already been reported first!

Please see the pacman website for more information on what has changed since the 3.0.X releases.

NOTE: Developers do NOT look at the forums for bugs and other issues. Posting them here will NOT help. Please follow the above directions.

This will give me a good reason to enable my testing repository.

dmartins · 2008-01-10 03:24:48

Looks great! I love the --asdeps option!

stonecrest · 2008-01-10 05:19:14

Is there a Cliff Notes version of the changelog? :-P

Cerebral · 2008-01-10 05:39:24

Also note that ABS has been split out of the pacman package. If you luvums your ABS, then install it from testing with pacman -S abs

And still no colors in pacman's output

Indeed, I was also expecting that...

pacman 3.1.0 is an excellent release. Congratulation to the developers. Excellent work.

Regarding colors, I don't think they are that necessary.

If that does what it sounds like it'll be damn great

Thank you, no longer writing deps-list manually.

Will install it right away!

Shaika-Dzari · 2008-01-10 16:15:21

Work great here!

Thank everyone

Does this help when you installing something from AUR,
so that i knows that it are dependencies of that package? How can you use it?
Because sometimes -Rscn doesn't delete everything

shen · 2008-01-10 17:37:36

do a man pacman once installed and the new features are listed with explanation..) the --asdeps is listed there..)

tlaloc · 2008-01-10 17:46:34

For those who would like to have colours, there is already a patch out there:

*sigh* it's always the same, isn't it. Make a bunch of changes no one sees and they wonder why the stuff the DO see hasn't changed.

I hate programming 8)

Should we put a big ASCII pony in the --version output for 3.1.1?

How about a tiger?

pacman 3.1.0, now with "300% MORE DEFAULT TERMINAL COLOR"

yay! thank you dan!

shen · 2008-01-10 20:03:57

All I gotta say is I like the single serverlist file in /etc/pacman.d....Makes for managing mirrors much easier. Still looking around at some of the other changes and added switches and what not..:) Personally I prefer new stuff under the hood to make things easier and better over fancy eye candy..:)

So is the pacman api whatnot now complete and if it is does it mean we could get some GUIs now?

tlaloc · 2008-01-10 20:54:42

Really, poor pacman-devs. Perhaps people are simply too busy USING your work, and thus, they don't have any time to hand you flowers.
Is there any way to get install messages translated? I mean the stuff 3.1.0 spits out at installation - would seem logical that people would like to have these important messages in local language, right?

zenlord · 2008-01-10 22:24:58

Installed and working for me!

Zl.

Cool! xD

What's about the binary differencies for the upgrades?

Abadaar · 2008-01-11 02:55:00

Seems really great!

Great work devs!

raul_nds · 2008-01-11 03:56:54

+1 for the single mirrorlist.

Single mirrorlist + rankmirrors = perfect combo.

Just one thing (for the users, not the devs):

maybe i'm missing something, but i have for example

[testing]
include /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
include /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

and so on....

So, what's the point of having to type the mirror for them all (ok, super lazy argument here). Is this a "feature", so the user can still supply a custom set of mirrors? Or am i doing this wrong?

PS: /me praises the devs

The mirror name in the brackets is used to fill in the $repo variable in the mirrorlist file.
You could say that repo context is reset upon the next bracketed [reponame] parsed in the config file.

So what you have is correct. Repository context's do not 'nest'.
