Re: Powerpill - A wrapper and download accelerator for Pacman

It is amazing the speed with which updates perl-xyne-arch. That means a lot to me
thanks for this tool

Re: Powerpill - A wrapper and download accelerator for Pacman

1. "powerpill -Syuw" does nothing
2. How do I know if aria2c is being used? I grep'd for aria on 'ps aux'; nothing was found. Also, the progress bar looks like pacman's. I do not see aria2c's output.

At the moment powerpill is pacman-independent for the download. I've written a partial implementation of pacman in Perl (Xyne::Arch::Pacman.pm) to gain more freedom and to pave the way for some other ideas that I have. wink

Huh, it's evidently been a while since I read how you implemented this.  Doesn't it have to get the list of packages from pacman, though, in order to know what to download?  That's what I was intending, whether that is any more correct or not. wink

No output whatsoever, or does it hang at a certain spot?

The download bar should list a bunch of connections, like in the screen.

Xyne:
Quick question, I noticed that my powerpill configuration file is no longer being parsed when I run it through yaourt (which *is* running powerpill correctly), although it does parse it when I run powerpill directly.  Running 'sudo powerpill' works as expected, so I'm not really sure what yaourt's doing.  Is there any information you can give me that would help when I dig through their code and/or ask them about it?

Re: Powerpill - A wrapper and download accelerator for Pacman

@keerthi
1) With "-Syuw", if there's nothing to download, then there's nothing to do (-w == --downloadonly).
2) While you're downloading, you will see messages from aria2c if you're not using the Aria2Silent/--aria2-silent option. Even if you do use that option, you will see a progress summary in the terminal.

@Xiong Chiamiov
Yes and no. When I refactored it, I partially wrote my own pacman to get around what I consider limitations of regular pacman. Using that I can parse sync requests to determine what should be downloaded (dependencies, upgrades, etc). I've filed a feature request that would simplify the situation for anyone who wants to use pacman inside of scripts... hopefully that will get implemented but apparently pacman's codebase is messy so I'm not holding my breath for it.


For the configuration file issue, I've just changed something in the configuration file selection code which might have been causing that. If it still behaves strangely in the latest version (perl-xyne-arch>=0.37), you can open up /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Xyne/Arch/PowerpillConf.pm and add the following debugging lines near the end of the "new" sub after line 97:

  print "powerpill run as user $ENV{USER}\n";
  print "config file path: $self->{PATH}\n";

That should show you which user powerpill is being run as and what configuration file path it's using.

Re: Powerpill - A wrapper and download accelerator for Pacman

Now that powerpill checks dependency by himself he has problems with the "PROVIDES" array, it doesn't check it and tries to download the package. For example it tries to download qt when I already have qtmod.

Re: Powerpill - A wrapper and download accelerator for Pacman

Sorry about that. I had forgotten to check the PROVIDES array of local packages (even though it checked provides arrays in the sync db).

This should work with the latest version of perl-xyne-arch (>=0.39). Could you please confirm that the issue is resolved?

@everyone
I made a few changes to homogenize method names so I may have introduced a few bugs (although I hope not).

I'd also like to know if anyone notices a real difference between the time it takes to resolve the download list with the new version (which parses the db itself) vs the old version (which relied on pacman).

Re: Powerpill - A wrapper and download accelerator for Pacman

Confirmed! issue resolved, thanks

mmm edit:
I have "Argument "4.5.0" isn't numeric in numeric eq (==) at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Xyne/Arch/Pacman.pm line 803."
I only have lib32-qt and qtmod with the 4.5.0 version, I guess the perl script has the wrong variable type declared, but I can still go on with the download

when -Syu today

the packages that have to be update are

Perl doesn't have variable types. cool
(well, not int/float/char... it does distinguish between scalars, arrays, etc)



Anyway, that should be fixed now too (perl-xyne-any>=0.41).

Re: Powerpill - A wrapper and download accelerator for Pacman

The problem seems to be the mirror that you're using (ftp://ftp.belnet.be). It might also be because you're only using a single mirror, which is really not recommended. Try adding the following line to /etc/powerpill.conf:

Reflect = -l 45

Also make sure that you're not syncing the database off of the main server.

I just tried the command and all downloads finished successfully.


If the problem persists after adding more mirrors, post your /etc/pacman.conf, /etc/powerpill.conf, /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist (and any others) and the output of "powerpill -Sw --cachedir /tmp/yaobak/ gnome --get-metalink".

Re: Powerpill - A wrapper and download accelerator for Pacman

It seems that uncommenting the NoColor option in powerpill.conf does not suppress all colored output.

Re: Powerpill - A wrapper and download accelerator for Pacman

I've just tried both "powerpill --no-color ..." and "NoColor" in the config file. Both work for me and suppress all colors. Please double-check your configuration file ("NoColor" is case-sensitive and must be in the [options] section) and make sure that powerpill is parsing the right file. ~/.config/powerpill/powerpill.conf will be parsed instead of /etc/powerpill.conf if it exists.

*makes a mental note to write a man page for powerpill.conf*

Re: Powerpill - A wrapper and download accelerator for Pacman

That's it, I had both /etc/powerpill.conf and .config/powerpill/powerpill.conf, and I was editing /etc/powerpill.conf
My mistake, but yeah, you should write that man page wink

Anyway, thanks

Re: Powerpill - A wrapper and download accelerator for Pacman

Hi, today after ejecute pacman -Syu, I see a stranger warning:
Argument "rc2" isn't numeric in numeric comparison (<=>) at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Xyne/Arch/Pacman.pm line 1121.

Maybe this information will be useful:

Re: Powerpill - A wrapper and download accelerator for Pacman

@takedown
I've investigate the problem and it's due to the kdemod packages. One of them uses a non-numeric package release ("rc2").

*edit*
The pkgrel should be an number. Contact the packager and let him know that there's a mistake in the package.

Re: Powerpill - A wrapper and download accelerator for Pacman

But which of the packages?

xorg-fonts-100dpi
perl-xyne-arch (you tongue)
reflector (you tongue)

I haven't got packages from kdemod to upgrade

Re: Powerpill - A wrapper and download accelerator for Pacman

It's one of the kdemod packages. It doesn't matter if there's a new one. If it's installed, the version is compared against the sync database to see if there's a newer version when you do a sysupgrade. Run this command to check which one has the "rc2" package release:

pacman -Ss | grep -- -rc2

The problem seems to be kdemod-playground/kdemod-playground-filelight 1.9-rc2.

I think I would have noticed if my own packages caused the problem. tongue

The problem seems to be the mirror that you're using (ftp://ftp.belnet.be). It might also be because you're only using a single mirror, which is really not recommended. Try adding the following line to /etc/powerpill.conf:

Reflect = -l 45

Also make sure that you're not syncing the database off of the main server.

I just tried the command and all downloads finished successfully.


If the problem persists after adding more mirrors, post your /etc/pacman.conf, /etc/powerpill.conf, /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist (and any others) and the output of "powerpill -Sw --cachedir /tmp/yaobak/ gnome --get-metalink".

Added two more mirrors, and the problem went away. But I have written in your reflector thread.

Re: Powerpill - A wrapper and download accelerator for Pacman

I'm glad that the problem went away but why are you using so few mirrors?

Re: Powerpill - A wrapper and download accelerator for Pacman

I get this error when running powerpill -Su:

It seems to work though?

Re: Powerpill - A wrapper and download accelerator for Pacman

What options are you passing to reflector in powerpill.conf?
