Pacman 3.1.0 moving to [core]

Pacman has now been signed off by our developers as well as sufficiently tested by its users to allow it to move to the [core] repository. There have been a few minor issues reported, but no critical issues are known.

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!

Known issues, please do not open a separate bug! (some will be fixed in 3.1.1):
*Dependency problem in new Pacman
*Odd behavior of pacman -Qt
*Sp (--print-uris) can't be run as user
*No newline printed when pacman receives SIGINT
*optdepends not documented
*mirrorlist substitution string isnt documented in man page

Re: Pacman 3.1.0 moving to [core]

Re: Pacman 3.1.0 moving to [core]

Hmm, it hasn't hit my repository yet. Annoying. Any good updated server nearby England to suggest?
I'm currently using the Irish one. The one in Manchester seems to constantly be outdated or down...

Re: Pacman 3.1.0 moving to [core]

Usually it takes some 24 h for all mirrors to sync. Maybe you expect too much here.
If you don't trust your current mirror, you may also try belnet or hosteurope.de (still very close to your location, right?).

Re: Pacman 3.1.0 moving to [core]

Thanks tlaloc,
my current repo usually takes all the 24 h to sync, since when I see some upgrade on the Arch website I get it the day after. For example, I have just upgraded and got a pacman upgrade to version 3.0.6-2.
I will try the mirrors you suggested, at least for pacman 3.1. Thanks smile

Nice work guys! Dan (and Xavier, Nagy, Aaron, ...) deserve a lot of kudos for bringing pacman back from the dead and making it into something great.

I've got a question...

It seems like "pacman -Qe" does not work anymore. Now it lists all my installed packages sad

Any fix for this? Thanks!

Re: Pacman 3.1.0 moving to [core]

I really like the new pacman, especially the new mirrorlist and the sync-directory for the pacman database. But somehow pacman seems to be much slower than before. It takes ages to search for a package in the first run. I ran

pacman -Sc

and

pacman-optimize

and removed all old database directories. But still it is very slow. I'm running pacman on a ext3 filesystem. Anyone has the same experience?

Re: Pacman 3.1.0 moving to [core]

That's strange, I didn't notice any slowdowns when switching to 3.1. And I'm not aware of any changes that could explain that.
3.1 is still limited in the same way by the filesystem than 3.0 was.
You find all operations slower, or one in particular? When you said "search for a package", did that refer to -Ss ?

Re: Pacman 3.1.0 moving to [core]

well I am not sure if I ran into a bug or not. Here is what is happening. A while ago I had a problem with a lib32-glibc version. So I downgraded to an older version which fixed my problem. Then I asked how I could stop pacman from upgrading it everyday and the answer I received was, ignorpkg = lib32-glibc needs to be added to pacman.conf.

But, my problem is this. Now that I do not have that line in my pacman.conf I can't get pacman to upgrade to the newest version. It simply denies the fact that there is a newer version out there. How can this be? Is there some other place that is forcing pacman to ignore this package? Did I do something wrong when I changed where the databases where supposed to be?

This may or may not be a problem related to the new pacman, but if I remember right I did not have this problem till I upgraded.

BTW, I force the check every time with...

pacman -Syy

Re: Pacman 3.1.0 moving to [core]

jacko, could you open a new thread for this problem in the pacman section, and paste the output of pacman -Qi lib32-glibc, pacman -Si lib32-glibc, and pacman -S --debug lib32-glibc ?
