Re: Powerpill: an improved download accelerator for Pacman.
When I use powerpill to do full system upgrade, I get following message:
Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at ./powerpill line 865.Powerpill works fine for all other jobs and really does speed up downloads while at it.!
Thanks for the feedback.
Are you still getting that error with powerpill 7.0?

Stupid me...Shoulda upgraded the script before complaining.No more upgrade issues with the latest script.!

Re: Powerpill: an improved download accelerator for Pacman.
xyne, PKGBUILD is a little off, provides line should read
powerpill=7.1.1 instead of powerpill=7.0.1

I changed the line to
provides=("${pkgname}=${pkgver}.${pkgrel}")That should work, right?

Re: Powerpill: an improved download accelerator for Pacman.
Hi, I have encountered problem when I did
pacman -S kde-svnwhere kde-svn is a group.
Powerpill downloaded only dependencies and then invoked pacman, which started downloading the rest of the packages.
powerpill -S kde-svn-all

Re: Powerpill: an improved download accelerator for Pacman.
I added support for ".pkg.tar.bz2" package extensions, which should fix the problem. Please try again with the latest version and let me know if it works.

Re: Powerpill: an improved download accelerator for Pacman.
I got error
Use of uninitialized value $repo in hash element at /usr/bin/powerpill line 897.
Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at /usr/bin/powerpill line 897But it looks that problem with the packages that were not downloaded is solved.

Re: Powerpill: an improved download accelerator for Pacman.
I got error

Fixed. The problem was the "any" architecture tag for the docs. I've tested the latest version with "powerpill -Sw kde-svn-all" without receiving any errors, so it should be fine now.

Re: Powerpill: an improved download accelerator for Pacman.

Nope.
yaourt is able to search and install directly from the AUR transparently, afaik. AUR pkgs are already single, small tarball files, so there wouldn't be any download acceleration (per pkg anyway, and generally I think you only download one AUR pkg at a time, right?), so I haven't even really thought about it before tbh.
I might consider adding a function to powerpill to parse PKGBUILDs in order to speed up source downloads. If I do, perhaps the developers of yaourt would consider adding an optional wrapper to utilize powerpill for downloads. I've considered discussing powerpill support with them before (or at least incorporation of powerpill's download mechanism).
Of course, if I add a PKGBUILD parser, I maybe just throw together some AUR search mechanism, but I really don't want to either recreate the wheel or step on yaourt's toes.

Re: Powerpill: an improved download accelerator for Pacman.
Secondly, pacget downloads files sequentially because it's called directly by pacman with each URI. That means that when pacman needs to sync 10 files, it calls pacget and tells it to get the first file... then it waits for pacget to finish and then it calls it again to get the second file... waits again, and so on. That means that if you have lots of (small, but even large) files, it's going to take longer than it needs to. Powerpill gets a list of all the packages at once so that it can create a single metalink file and pipe that to aria2 (again, no writing to disk, no clutter like the other metalink script, which also does it sequentially for each file like pacget, with the same slowdown). Once aria2 gets the complete list, it can work on everything at once (you configure the global connections, etc). This way it can simultaneously download several smalll files. So if you have files a,b,c,d,e,f,g, etc, instead of doing a->b->c->d->etc, it does (a-j) at once. As each connection is freed, it's immediately reused to get the next file so until the download ends, it's always using the user-defined max global connections.
cool stuff!
neat that you could use metalink for it!

Re: Powerpill: an improved download accelerator for Pacman.
Very nice work 
One suggestion though, is it possible to see the download speed of Aria without being flooded ? ( maybe it's already in the new version but the screenshots didn't change so ...)
Maybe by using the echo -ne command along with the backspace \b to suppress the previous numbers displayed
This way you can also display the status of each concurrent download

Thanks ChoK.
At some point I tried parsing aria2c's output to organize it in a way that gives a better overview, but I didn't find a satisfactory solution (there are still a few commented lines from that attempt). I don't want to just overwrite the previous line because some of that information can be useful. I'll take another look at it though and see what I can come up with. I'd also like to add a "mirror report" that shows a basic overview of the different mirrors, but it depends on the limitations of aria2c's output.
EDIT
I've now added parsing of aria2c's output to powerpill.

Re: Powerpill: an improved download accelerator for Pacman.
If those apps invoke pacman then it should work, but I haven't tested it myself.
I would leave that as a local definition in ~/.bashrc, but there's surely a way to define it globally if you want (not sure how, but I suspect that Google knows).

Re: Powerpill: an improved download accelerator for Pacman.
i think that powerpill is great and using it by its self is great. When i try to use it with yaourt, it usually just makes yaourt hang.
Suggestions?
i aliased pacman to powerpill --nomessage

Re: Powerpill: an improved download accelerator for Pacman.
I don't think the alias method words anymore. Try setting the path to the pacman bin to /usr/bin/powerpill in the yaourt configuration file. Take a look at this post and the others around it.
I don't know how you managed to find this old thread instead of the new one, but please reply there.
