aurutils - helper tools for the aur

That sounds like an issue with git, not sure where it originates from. Can you try removing and cloning that directory again?

If you mean uninstall the package and try again, nothing happens.
If you mean manually clone the repo and install, it works, but aursync still fails after that.
Otherwise, which directory are you talking about exactly? Sorry I always used aursync pretty "black-box", don't know much about the inner workings...

Thank you.

He means the git clone created by aursync, most likely it would be ~/.cache/aursync/spotify

man aursync wrote:

AURDEST
Determines where build files will be cloned (default:
$XDG_CACHE_HOME/aursync). This must be an absolute path.

Edit: Maybe an option for aursync that removes the git clone for a package might be useful, or a way to list the used paths like "pacconf --options"

That solved the problem, thanks to both of you.

Hi guys,

I recently keep getting err message ' Could not execute user command: exit: No such file or directory ' when running aur sync -u. I am on latest git. Why am I getting this? According to man errno it is exit status 2. I searched for exit status 2 thoroughly both in /usr/bin/aur and /usr/lib/aurutils/aur-sync but the results made no sense for me, am still learning Linux... Command runs OK it's just bothering me.

Thanks

Can you pinpoint this issue to a particular commit?

Sure, I will do it during this weekend, although I have not done bisecting before...
However on my other laptop I have exactly the same version of AURutils, same .zshrc and linux kernel and never seen any error messages.
Strange

Thanks

Edit:
OK, to keep this thread clean, just a short summary: the only difference between the 2 laptops was aria2 and using a basic conf file taken from ArchWiki " on-download-complete=exit " made those error messages. I am not aware of how and when aria2 comes in while running any aurutils command, but should not it be called with --no-conf and specify needed swithes if any in aurutils' scripts directly?

Sorry for the noise, aurutils rocks...

Thanks

Did I screw up configuration? Duplicate pacman sync .db's.

Seems /var/cache/pacman/aur/ has only AUR packages, except for pacman db related stuff.
I have not noticed anything abnormal yet. Thinking this may create issues though: pacman -Syu -b /var/cache/pacman/aur/sync

However, during gathering info, I just noticed identical time stamps...

$ ls -l /var/lib/pacman/sync/ | grep .db

Looks fine to me, I guess you just used pacman -b at some point? Note how on your last -Syu community.db was only updated in /var/lib/pacman/sync.

Note rather than paste pacman configuration it's more effective to paste the output from "pacconf" - then you know exactly how pacman sees things.

The built package should still be in the repository, just not added to the db. You can do so manually with repo-add.

Shouldn't matter as long as both the repo name and Server are defined. In doubt, run pacconf to check the configuration visible to pacman.

Other packages update fine. I don't really use any "advanced" feature of aurutils, and IIRC I followed the instructions after installing aurutils.
Did I mess up? Is it a problem with aurutils or with the package?

This came up again, same problem. Rather than deleting the repo and clone again, this time I manually pulled and it worked, so I guess that aursync does something more than that. What is it? If I know it I may be able to reproduce the issue with git alone. Thanks.
(or maybe it's just some problem with my settings since I don't see anyone else reporting it on the AUR package page...)

Should be fixed by: https://github.com/AladW/aurutils/pull/342

I'll probably backport it to 1.5.3, but no ETA on that.

The problem with gdm-plymouth is the package order after filtering for pkgbase. libgdm-plymouth is a split package from gdm_plymouth, but it doesn't depend on plymouth and is listed before plymouth. The split package is now inserted in its place and the second occurence of gdm_plymouth is removed.
This is with a fresh install of aursync 1.5.3-2, empty local repository, nothing plymouth related installed at all.

Finally looked into this and it was a 1-line patch:

Hi.

First I want to say Thank You for this great set of tools.

I dont use them a lot and it's been a while since the last time and I have a few questions.

This is probably just me forgetting things but when I do

aursync foo

do I have to write full path to the package to install it?

sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/custom/foo

I was thinking that the name should be enough.
I think I have to add that

pacman -Ss foo

finds the package.

And also

repo-remove /var/cache/pacman/custom/custom.db.tar foo
==> Extracting database to a temporary location...
bsdtar: Removing leading '/' from member names
==> ERROR: Repository file '/var/cache/pacman/custom//custom.files.tar' is not a proper pacman database.

Again this is probably me forgetting stuff and doing something wrong but I would appreciate some help.

Oh and my pacmnan.conf

do I have to write full path to the package to install it?

pacman -S foo

==> ERROR: Repository file '/var/cache/pacman/custom//custom.files.tar' is not a proper pacman database.

repose and repo-add are not compatible, use one exclusively

I feel so stupid, and I really am embarrassed now. I knew the solution was simple but for some reason my brain just stopped working.
Thank you again and have a good day.

What's the 'right' way to do VCS packages in aurutils currently? I saw an open PR for a --devel switch, is this not really supported till that one lands?

Alad · 2018-04-20 09:13:04

Assuming you use the git version you can do this:

# update pkgbuilds to latest git revision
# this sources each pkgbuild so make sure you've viewed it before
aur srcver ~/.cache/aurutils/sync/*-git
# disable version checks in aursync
# aurbuild will skip packages with old revisions anyway
aur sync --nover -u

Oh, that seems slightly counter-intuitive. Basically update the PKGBUILDs first with that first line, and then run the normal sync (with --nover, but I think it will work without?)

Alad · 2018-04-20 10:08:19

I can't think of a moment in aurutils history where it was intuitive to use...

I'm still thinking on what to do with that PR though. I dislike the suggested approach since it wants to automatically source PKGBUILDs without telling you.

with --nover, but I think it will work without?

Note that --nover is indeed required. The pkgbuilds are updated locally, not on the AUR (and aursync checks the AUR for versions).
