Package list install script help

komitaltrade · 2015-04-12 21:56:45

Please help about the script to launch (custom) package list (e.g. 'packlist') with "commented" (#) ("disabled) packages and "uncomented" (allowed to install) packages (all of them with description.

I need something simple like

pacman -S --needed $(comm -12 <(pacman -Slq|sort) <(sort packlist) )

except that above don't alow any sort of "comments" and/or descriptions (of packages) in "packlist".

Perhaps use sed or grep to filter out the comments.

Thanks for reply, but how it should to be (look) in my example? ("pacman -S --needed $(comm -12 <(pacman -Slq|sort) <(sort packlist) )")

To explain, I need all listed options (e.g sort order is important, as well as to skip already installed packages).

Maybe this wil help.

List with comments looks something like this, but I want to install just gwenview and kdegraphics-kamera

Please use code tags when pasting to the boards: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … s_and_code

awk '!/^#/ {print $1}' file
gwenview
kdegraphics-kamera

It prints empty lines too. pacman doesn't seem to mind, but

awk '!/^#|^$/ {print $1}' file

takes care of it.

THANKS!!!

P.S. One more question. What options to add to print (create) such "clean" list in new file?

jasonwryan · 2015-04-13 00:57:45

awk '!/^#|^$/ {print $1}' file > newfile

Moving to NC...

komitaltrade · 2015-04-13 00:59:00

Install will be

pacman -S $(awk '!/^#|^$/ {print $1}' file)

But I ask for new file.

Thanks. Closed topic.

jasonwryan · 2015-04-13 01:01:35

pacman -S $(awk '!/^#|^$/ {print $1}' file)
awk '!/^#|^$/ {print $1}' file > newfile

That is nice, but when you already "pulled it on table", another question:

How to include in your code also this command options for pacman (from begin of topic)

pacman -S --needed $(comm -12 <(pacman -Slq|sort) <(sort file) )

karol · 2015-04-13 21:51:41

You don't need one command. You can first parse the package list and then run pacman on that list:

awk '!/^#|^$/ {print $1}' file > newfile
pacman -S --needed $(comm -12 <(pacman -Slq|sort) <(sort newfile))
