Greetings,
I have tried out clyde, and it is pretty nice and fast. However, I can't help but to feel there is something I am missing that I liked in yaourt.... that is the ability to simply type yaourt -S packagename versus sudo clyde -S package name.
I am not interested in whatever may be the perceived correct method as I always inspect the package build file anyways, and sure the extra sudo infront of clyde may not be much since yaourt is seemingly longer, but it feels nicer. When I use pacman I always go into su first, so I have my one su - command and then I use pacman - S etc... for whatever I need there. However, you are not supposed to build a package from AUR in su mode and even get a nice warning about it.... but you have to use sudo?
Anyways, the jest of all of my rambling here is, if you can make clyde work without sudo, it will be gold as far as I am concerned.

This has been anwsered several times.

It seems people wont read through the topic, maybe someone should write a FAQ page?

just type

clyde package name

otherwise alias sudo clyde -S to clyde -S and you are good to go ^^

A FAQ page or why not directly a wiki article?

I would prefer the second.

Good point. I created the page. Feel free to expand it, everyone

Is there a way to list all the installed AUR packages, the way yaourt -Syu --aur always lists them?

clyde -Qm

Thanks!

Pretty good. Not quite as good as yaourt's regular printout, but still pretty good.

This is the second time I've tried Clyde. The first time I had some issues with the makefile (don't know if you remember that irc conversation), but this time it went ok. Unfortunately I get these errors almost constantly, and I don't know what to make of them.

[kaolbrec@sagaris]$ sudo clyde -S clyde
:: clyde package not found, searching for group...
:: clyde group not found, searching AUR...
lua: failed to decompress [-3]
stack traceback:

        /usr/bin/clyde:1032: in function </usr/bin/clyde:943>
        (tail call): ?

I got the exact same error while searching for or attempting to install xmonad, or netbeans etc. At the moment Clyde is unusable for me.

EDIT: Scratch that. Clyde is perfectly capable of installing things (and quite quick as you say) but it seems to dump that out every so often, and occasionally keep a lock on the db. Odd.

`pacman -Qm` does the same. And it seems faster.

5000 internetz says you are behind a proxy when you get that gzip error.

I noticed that in i think all operations clyde is noticeably slower (well, it also shows more output, colorizes etc).
(I mainly use clyde for the cross-repo-aur-search. I prefer to download aur pkgs with slurpy and then manually do makepkg and pacman -U)

Really? Another reason to hate the campus proxy. All will be better in a week, when term ends and I bugger off back to Cornwall then.

hokasch · 2010-05-26 17:05:51

There might be a bug with deleting corrupted packages. I had one today (mplayer) and clyde asked to delete it, but it did not get zapped, so the same happened again. I tried a few times, with both enter (default is Y) and y + enter, but the package was still in the cache. pacman -Syu deleted the corrupted package eventually.

Pacman is written in pure C, while clyde uses Lua, so yeah it'll be slower. Plus it does the coloring, etc, that you mentioned. Try comparing Clyde to another AUR helper.

Well, that is not that simple. Clyde uses libalpm which is a C library. But still, a program's speed is not really depend on the programming language, you can easily find slow C programs

How am I supposed to abort the script at a confirmation prompt?

^C<enter> works.

You can also apply this patch to util.lua and hit 'a' when prompted. It does - or at least should do - the same thing as ^C.

Just a quick question. Is Clyde already supporting vcs-packages in the way that it recognizes if a package-repo had been updated?

Doorbreath · 2010-06-08 10:51:41

Does clyde -Syu update packages from the aur as well

clyde -Suy --aur does.
