Clyde - A better libalpm/makepkg wrapper

juster · 2011-04-27 00:01:24

Okay the new version 2.0 of yajl was not backwards-compatible with the old yajl (hence the new major-version number). This broke luayajl (aka lua-yajl-git), which is a dependency of clyde. This is because, guess what, luayajl depends on yajl. Thanks to falconindy this is fixed now! Thanks! All hail the falconindy!

The lua-yajl-git package has been unmaintained for awhile now so lua-yajl-git had to be moved to AUR. I adopted it, stuck falconindy's patch in there, and tada it works. As always, let me know if anything is wrong with it and I will try to fix it.

Thanks juster & falconindy. Works great again.

The problem is that the install reason should be "Explicitly installed" but its not. Installing nd-git (AUR) using clyde I get:
Install Reason : Installed as a dependency for another package
Installing the same package using packer I get:
Install Reason : Explicitly installed

I'm still seeing this as well.

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.

I am just happy that all my built packages are cached so that at least downgrading to a workable state is less painful.

I don't compress packages I build from AUR, so I have them as foo.pkg.tar. Seems that clyde refuses to install them

error: Could not find a built package in /tmp/clyde-karol/snappy/snappy.

The package is there and installs OK via 'pacman -U foo.pkg.tar'.

Changing PKGEXT in /etc/makepkg.conf to e.g.

PKGEXT='.pkg.tar.gz'

fixes the problem. Is it the only way to do it or am I missing some switch in the configs? It's not a big deal, I'm just curious.

I just upgraded pacman, then my system, then rebuilt clyde. Clyde works but when I do a "sudo clyde -Syua" to upgrade all my AUR packages it spits out this:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
dropbox: /opt/dropbox/ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS exists in filesystem
dropbox: /opt/dropbox/README exists in filesystem
dropbox: /opt/dropbox/VERSION exists in filesystem
dropbox: /opt/dropbox/_bisect.so exists in filesystem

..., ad infinitum

Any ideas what the problem is?

lagagnon, you may want to use -f to force install.

karol, I forgot to mention I fixed your problem. Thanks for helping pplsz.

JoeR410 · 2011-05-26 16:00:22

Is there a way for clyde to install multiple packages from AUR with one command? For instance, if I were to do something like "clyde -S aur-package-1 aur-package-2", only aur-package-1 would be installed, and after it finishes, I'd have to go back and then do "clyde -S aur-package-2". Obviously not a big deal for a couple of packages, but when it's a dozen or so that should be updated fairly often... it becomes tedious.

Mogger · 2011-05-28 23:26:41

Is it possible to make Clyde save the packages, similar to Pacman (/var/cache/pacman/pkg)? I searched through the thread but only found people requesting that. I've also tried to change the CacheDir = /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ line, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Have you tried BuildDir?

Isn't that just a temporary directory Clyde uses to build the package?

# If no BuildDir is set, then a directory is created for your BuildUser
# Otherwise the exact directory name you provide is used.
#BuildDir = /tmp/clyde-<BuildUser> (default when unset)

and no packages in my /tmp/clyde-<BuildUser> (the name of my user).

Have you tried using a folder not in your /tmp?

'man pacman.conf':

CacheDir = path/to/cache/dir
Overrides the default location of the package cache directory. A typical default is
{localstatedir}/cache/pacman/pkg/. Multiple cache directories can be specified, and they are tried in the
order they are listed in the config file. If a file is not found in any cache directory, it will be
downloaded to the first cache directory with write access.

My mistake, of course there's a package in the build dir. However, there are other files there as well, including the tar.gz, the PKGBUILD etc. I only want to save the package.

This is what I would expect CacheDir in /etc/clyde.conf to specify, but Clyde doesn't seem to save any packages there.

Thanks for helping me so far karol, I appreciate it.

You can use a cronjob to move / copy them where you want:

find -name "*.pkg.tar*" -exec cp '{}' /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ \;

Mogger · 2011-05-30 22:59:11

Thanks, but I'm still not completely satisfied. I want to know why Clyde doesn't have this option (is it maybe planned?), or if it does, why it doesn't work for me.

If I understand it correctly it works for the packages you download, so only those from the repos:

Aha, now I understand - that was very well explained, thanks a lot karol. I think I was confused because I'm used to how yaourt works, and I only used yaourt for AUR packages. I'll use your cronjob suggestion then to move the packages.

Am I doing something wrong or clyde is having problems with providers?
Is it related to http://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.gi … ?id=v3.5.0 ?

Edit: Of course 'sudo clyde -S jumanji-git' works and I can install the package via clyde w/o a problem, I'm just curious about the providers.

I don't know, if it has been discussed before, but I have a small feature request. Could you make Clyde give a warning, as pacman does, when I'm trying to sync a package which is already installed and up-to-date. A better explanation:

~ > sudo pacman -S kernel26
warning: kernel26-2.6.39.1-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...

Targets (1): kernel26-2.6.39.1-1

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

Notice the second line. It is also a possibility to look at the total download size, but it may be incorrect, if I have the package downloaded but not installed or if the package is very small in size.

Just reinstalled arch, and when I try to install something from the AUR with clyde, I get this error:

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

Installing packages from the repos works fine; it's only when I try to install something from the AUR that I get this.

Anyone have an idea what's wrong? :<

The offending code is:

function chown_builduser ( path, ... )                                                                     
    local buser = get_builduser()                                                                          
    local pwent = utilcore.getpwnam( buser )                                                               
    util.chown( buser, pwent.gid, path, ... )                                                              
end

The call utilcore.getpwnam is just a wrapper around C's getpwnam(), but there is this bit:

    p = getpwnam( name );

    if ( p == NULL ) {
        if ( errno == 0 ) { return 0; }

        lua_pushstring( L, strerror( errno ));
        lua_error( L );
    }

I'm guessing somehow you don't have an entry in /etc/passwd for your user, so the call doesn't push anything on the stack (i.e. return), hence the nil value without an error.

$ grep BuildUser /etc/clyde.conf
BuildUser = idontexist
$ sudo clyde -S clyde-git

oh right, I just remembered I created a new user and deleted the old one, so the BuildUser did not infact exist in /etc/passwd.

Thanks for the fix too!

sarbash · 2011-06-23 19:33:15

And what about installing AUR pkgs as dependencies? Bug or feature? Does need a fix or just --asexplicit is enough?
Thank you in advance for an answer.
