Re: Clyde - A better libalpm/makepkg wrapper

I want to also add that when doing the above tests, I had to remove the package first, otherwise simply "installing it over the existing installation" using the manual method will not fix the fact that it is incorrectly categorized as "installed as a dependency".

Re: Clyde - A better libalpm/makepkg wrapper

Only for notifiyng a behaviour of clyde that in my opinion should be corrected:

an example, I want to update the system without being asked for confirmations:
I enter
"clyde -Syu --aur --noconfirm", from AUR there are 2 packages to be updated, "aurpackage1" and "aurpackage2".
Clyde calls makepkg to compile the first one, and the build fails because, let's say, -git code is broken in this period.

Sadly clyde stops the process notifying a build error, without start to update aurpackage2.
I think that it should continue instead, and maybe notify the user that only "aurpackage1" has not been updated because of some build errors only at the end of the entire upgrading process.

Re: Clyde - A better libalpm/makepkg wrapper

Just reinstalled clyde-git after upgrading pacman.
-Si won't work no more...

[00:25:40 sergey@serenity devel]$ clyde -Si znotes
Repository     : aur
error: package 'znotes' was not found

How to fix that?
Thanks.

znotes is in aur - does it work for AUR? '-Si' works OK for packages from the repos.

Edit: It works for me

[karol@black test]$ sudo clyde -Si znotes

I have those a lot, since some time with several versions of clyde-git. Most of the time I first do -Ss blah and then -Si blahresult (to check the url). Error. Strange because it was found with -Ss and then not found with -Si. Something it works. Can't reproduce consistently but I thought I should back up sarbash here. When I can reproduce consistently I'll report a bug, can't help really now, sorry.

Edit: does the sudo make a difference? I never use sudo for -Si or -Ss, only for -S.

Re: Clyde - A better libalpm/makepkg wrapper

Looks like sudo does make a difference:

Re: Clyde - A better libalpm/makepkg wrapper

Another sudo thing... sudo started making a difference on "clyde -G".  I had a script that called that and I ran it today after having not run it in a while.  It errored out and it was a matter of two minutes to figure out what was up and add "sudo" in the script.

Haven't tested yet, but a thank you from me too for working on this and providing a great tool. I don't like to forget gratitude after (modest) complaint. Thanks.

Re: Clyde - A better libalpm/makepkg wrapper

Nice program, I like how it shows the votes for a package in AUR (unlike packer).

Just one thing:

clyde -Qeq

gives me

nil
nil
nil
[...]

Tested with clyde-git version 20110406-1.

Cheers

Re: Clyde - A better libalpm/makepkg wrapper

I've got a bug to report; I just ran clyde -G as root, in /root, and it chowned the whole folder to my BuildUser. It's a build from a couple of days ago.

Re: Clyde - A better libalpm/makepkg wrapper

Still getting the problem of "installed as a dependency" for AUR packages I explictly install with -S. If I manually run makepkg and then use clyde -U, then it (correctly) says it was "explicitly installed". If I use yaourt -S aurpackage, then it (correctly) says it was "explicitly installed".

Re: Clyde - A better libalpm/makepkg wrapper

Clyde doesn't like the --needed flag:

~ $ sudo pacman -S --needed picard
warning: picard-0.13-1 is up to date -- skipping
 there is nothing to do
~ $ sudo clyde -S --needed picard

==> Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y

Re: Clyde - A better libalpm/makepkg wrapper

First of all, thank you for your work.

I have been following this project for a while, using Clyde to search the AUR and Bauerbill as my main package manager. As you guessed, I have recently be forced to a full switch.
What I really miss from Clyde two (little, really) AUR related things:
1. I would like to edit all the PKGBUILDs that are going to be installed before the actual compiling of any of them (instead of editing and compiling one, then editing and compiling the second, etc).
2. it would be nice to have a switch to automatically remove unused makedependencies, mostly like makepkg's "-r" switch, though applied after building all packages. That is, if I am going to install packages "foo" and "bar", which both makedepend on package "xyzzy", Clyde shouldn't install, remove, reinstall and remove "xyzzy" (which I think would happen if it simply called makepkg with the "-r" switch).

Hope I've been clear enough.
Thank you again.

I also cast a vote for this, at least as an option to be set in clyde.conf.

Upgrading to yajl-2.0.0-1 breaks clyde:

Re: Clyde - A better libalpm/makepkg wrapper

After the failed Clyde rebuild, I tried removing Clyde & dependencies and a fresh install. Apparently Clyde's dependency lua-yajl-git is in the weeds for the moment.

Re: Clyde - A better libalpm/makepkg wrapper

For me, downgrading yajl from 2.x back to 1.x helps in so far that clyde is working again...

First bauerbill, now Yaourty and Clyde. One good thing though: It makes you appreciate what you have in those tools... Manually resolving AUR dependencies isn't fun.
