Clyde - A better libalpm/makepkg wrapper

gtklocker · 2010-11-28 10:51:10

A small bug I encountered.

% sudo clyde -S bitlbee

I fixed it. Thanks for reporting the bug.

Leaving clyde for now. It complains about file conflicts when replacements exist, as in the recent libusb1/libusb update. clyde -Ss has become really slow; not sure why this is or what the deal is there, but it is much faster to yaourt -Ss. clyde.conf is a bummer, it's no fun to try to keep two files in sync to do the same things.

Why? You only need one conf file.

P.s., merely ranting and saying you're leaving is never useful or appreciated, reporting bugs and helping with testing is.

If you are talking about the fact to keep pacman.conf and clyde.conf in sync just add Include = /etc/pacman.conf in clyde.conf

#
# CLYDE OPTIONS
#
[clydeoptions]
Editor = vim
BuildUser = surakuio
#Colors are enabled by default. To disable them, uncomment the following line
#NoColor
#Searching AUR is enabled by default. Uncomment the following line to only search with --aur
#ReposOnly
#
# /etc/clyde.conf
#
# See the pacman.conf(5) manpage for option and repository directives

Include = /etc/pacman.conf

I have two Bugs to report:

1. Replacing conflicting packages with each other does not work:

Example:

resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: libxft conflicts with libxft-lcd. Remove libxft-lcd? [Y/n] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: libxft: conflicts with libxft-lcd (libxft)

2. If new additional packages are needed by an upgraded package, they are installed "--asexplicit" and not "--asdeps", how it should be i think.

here's a situation where running pacman -Sy doesn't help:

% sudo clyde -Sa aumix

If In the repos, there's aumix-gtk, which obviously uses gtk. The one in aur is compiled without the support of gtk. Even with the -a or --aur (aur only) flag, it still grabs the one from the repo, which isn't what I want.

Berseker · 2010-12-11 10:24:08

Two questions, I don't know if it's a lack on Clyde functionality or if I missed the informations on wiki\man page

see this:

berseker@mysystem /tmp/clyde-berseker $ ls
clyde-git
berseker@mysystem /tmp/clyde-berseker $ cd clyde-git/
berseker@mysystem /tmp/clyde-berseker/clyde-git $ ls
clyde-git clyde-git.tar.gz
berseker@mysystem /tmp/clyde-berseker/clyde-git $ cd clyde-git/
berseker@mysystem /tmp/clyde-berseker/clyde-git/clyde-git $ ls
clyde-git-20101211-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz pkg PKGBUILD src
berseker@mysystem /tmp/clyde-berseker/clyde-git/clyde-git $

Can Clyde be modified so that the downloaded source file is erased, and files directly extracted in the current directory instead of creating that (IMHO) ugly directory/directory thing?

Also, can the directory where clyde downloads and packages all the AUR\ABS stuff been modified in some way in the clyde.conf or I have to use symlinks?

Shouldn't be too hard considering this works

wget -qO- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/clyde-git/clyde-git.tar.gz | bsdtar -tf -

Berseker · 2010-12-13 19:18:41

yeah I thinks that is a possible thing to implement in the next releases! I tried to look at clyde sources but I'm not a programmer, especially in LUA language

Berseker · 2010-12-20 22:47:16

also noticed a little bug in Clyde

if some package is being replaced by another one (for example, package_new is going to replace package, you confirm? )
even if you say "yes" the package is not going to be replaced. Other package manager\utilities works well on this.

ps Am I the only one interested in Clyde here?

ANOKNUSA · 2010-12-21 22:01:13

Well, I've searched through the entire thread, and haven't seen anything regarding this: pacman-color has a config file, and yaourt uses a bash script for its color profile. Is there any way to customize the color profile in clyde? To specify, when one uses clyde <package> or clyde -Ss <package>, the list shows both package names and descriptions in white; I'd like to change package names to red to make the lists easier on the eyes. Any chance I coud do this with zero knowledge of lua?

anonymous_user · 2010-12-22 15:06:11

How do I tell clyde to remove old build files before installing a program?

I'm trying to update qtfm but clyde wants to use an old .tar.gz and thus makes the build fail.

Edit: I tried again and it managed to update fine this time. However does Clyde have any flag to clear the build cache? It would be a useful feature.

# clyde -Scc seems to work at clearing the catch for me.

# clyde -S -h give all the avaliable options and -c is listed to clean the cach / -cc to clean all.

Hope that helps.

vinhsynd · 2010-12-23 22:33:10

I'd also like to add an issue.

I'm wanting to change from nouveau-dri and xf86-video-nouveau to the AUR -git versions.
Some of the listed install deps include glproto-git libdrm-git etc.

When doing either:

#clyde -S nouveau-dri-git xf86-video-nouveau-git
#clyde -Sf nouveau-dri-git xf86-videou-nouveau-git

Both builds fail when trying to update dependencies. In my case glproto-git is the first dep compiled.
After compilation it says that glproto-git conficts with glproto and asks if I'd like to remove glproto.

Answering yes or no results in a failure to update with notice of a transaction failure and dependency error.

When using pacman to remove glproto it reports it is required for mesa and will not allow removal. Repeating this no-dep checking will get rid of glproto. Sadly the PKGBUILD for nouveau promptly reinstalls glproto prior to compiling glproto-git. But thats neither here nor there.

The issue is that I thought the -Sf option in clyde was supposed to force package replacement and overwrite the conflicting file but this does not appear to be working.

He meant the build-cache in e.g. /tmp, for instance after you've just compiled a package but want to retry with another patch.

In this case you can remove it first with nodeps:

# clyde -Rd glproto
# clyde -S [ ... ]

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but whenever I am installing something in the AUR and it ask me to remove a certain file or package because of some conflicts and I choose yes, the installer would just abort. This does not happen with yaourt. I think this happens because clyde does not remove other packages that depends on the package that I am trying to remove.

655321 · 2011-01-11 21:30:00

Hi guys, I have been using clyde for a while now, there is something I would be glad to see changed, when I do:

sudo clyde -Syu --aur

clyde takes too long to finally display the list of packages to be upgraded (I have 55 packages from aur I think). As soon as I tell clyde to start the update process, it starts downloading the packages, the problem is when a package can't be found (ie. 404 not found) clyde just exits with error and terminates de whole process.

The excpected behaviour here will be to just skip that package and continue downloading/installing the next.

I just tested with yaourt and everything went fine (got 404 not found, and yaourt asked if I wanted to skip or not, then process continued normally).

Hope it helped.

ElkMonster · 2011-01-12 15:35:12

Hey,

for several weeks now, each time I sync clyde asks whether to replace pycairo. Since today's sync two more questions are posed as can be seen below. I have neither of the packages installed (possibly in the past, I don't remember).

[sascha@huhn ~]$ sudo clyde -Syu
Password: 
:: Synchronizing package databases...
...
:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace pycairo with extra/python2-cairo? [Y/n] n
:: Replace pyqt with extra/python2-qt? [Y/n] n
:: Replace sip with extra/python2-sip? [Y/n] n

SanskritFritz · 2011-01-12 15:51:35

Elkmonster, what does
pacman -Syu
say?

ElkMonster · 2011-01-12 16:23:58

Thank you, that solved it. Obviously, clyde didn't update nor display those packages, although having them in its list.
I surely could have figured that out myself... haven't touched pacman in a while, so I didn't even think of it.

Is there any config to "move" the default "tmp" folder to another directory?

SpeederCat · 2011-01-20 00:36:47

Received the following error today when upgrading:

checking package integrity...
File pyqt-4.8.2-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz is invalid or corrupted. Do you want to delete it? [Y/n]

I responded with a lowercase "y".
However, it continued without deleting:

error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)
File pyqt-4.8.2-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz is invalid or corrupted
Errors occured, no packages were upgraded.

It seems clyde has some issues responding to user input.

:: vala-git conflicts with vala. Remove vala? [Y/n]
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)

Im getting this error everytime it wants to replace some deps.

Jimi · 2011-02-03 09:44:55

Sorry if this has probably been asked before, but is there a way to make the package compression multi-threaded?
