Re: powerpill reborn: pacman wrapper for faster downloads

He may be referring to the package in my repo, which was rebuilt today after I upgraded to Python 3.6 locally.

Re: powerpill reborn: pacman wrapper for faster downloads

@x33a, I use the Xyne repository instead of the AUR, so I requested rebuilding the package.

Re: powerpill reborn: pacman wrapper for faster downloads

Xyne, I found that powerpill doesn't handle return code on `-T` properly which breaks recent makepkg dependency handling (I set PACMAN=powerpill in makepkg.conf). Can you fix that?

When powerpill invokes pacman (or whatever wrapper the user has configured), it returns the exit code:

$ pacman -T powerpill; echo $?
0

$ powerpill -T powerpill; echo $?
0

$ pacman -T powerpill foo; echo $?
foo
127

$ powerpill -T powerpill foo; echo $?
foo
127

Can you give an example of when it fails?

Seems to be an issue with pyalpm and your pacman.conf file. Report it to the pyalpm devs. Include your pacman.conf file when you do.

Moving to the powerpill thread (originally posted in my repo thread).

At least it fails with an error. When pacman with LANG=C tries to display a package with an UTF-8 description or packager name, then part of the output will be silently missing. (e.g. binutils)
Thank you for locale-en-xx, I am using that as a replacement for LANG=C to avoid such problems for a few years now.

I still need to find a way to promote that locale. It would be great if one day it became widely adopted as an ISO locale wink

Re: powerpill reborn: pacman wrapper for faster downloads

From aria2c's man page:

29 If the remote server was unable to handle the request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance

So, seems like an issue with your mirror.

Are you running powerpill on an ARM system ? The only reference to this error that I was able to find was this unanswered post about a Raspberry Pi on stack overflow.

Regardless, it seems to be an rsync error beyond my control. Notify the rsync devs and disable rsync support in powerpill for now.

Re: powerpill reborn: pacman wrapper for faster downloads

I've been getting errors running powerpill since a full system upgrade after a long time without upgrading. 

The issue seems to be in the refresh_databases() function's download_queue.dbs variable having more than two values which the for-loop expects. I peered into Powerpill.py to see if I could implement a workaround but don't want to  break anything. Any thoughts on what might be causing the issue? (traceback info below).


P.S. in case it helps someone: I had a similar issue as on the previous page with pm2ml in the refresh_databases function. pacman kept installing a version dated 2016 even after removing the package and clearing the package cache, but i fixed with "pacaur -a" to only search in the aur.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main
    "__main__", mod_spec)

    for db, sigs in download_queue.dbs:

Not on my end yet. I've just been using pacman without powerpill in the meantime.

Re: powerpill reborn: pacman wrapper for faster downloads

What version of Powerpill are you using? The line numbers don't match the current version and I am not able to reproduce it with a simple "powerpill -Syu" (the signatures download correctly).

If you are not using the latest version, either build and upgrade the packages from the AUR, or enable my repo and upgrade directly via Pacman.

Re: powerpill reborn: pacman wrapper for faster downloads

I'm using Antergos, and the problem was that some dependencies of powerpill aren't up-to-date in their repos. I solved it by removing the Antergos repo from /etc/pacman.conf, and updated the dependencies from the AUR. I then removed the Antergos packages that couldn't be found in the Arch repos, like antergos-alerts and antergos-midnight-timers. They didn't seem to be useful. Maybe sigils is using Antergos too.

Re: powerpill reborn: pacman wrapper for faster downloads

Thanks for the clarification and update.

Incidentally, this clearly demonstrates why these forums do not support other Arch-based distributions. I am glad that you were able to get it working but I have to ask that you seek support on the Antergos forums from now on (or that you switch to vanilla Arch wink).

Re: powerpill reborn: pacman wrapper for faster downloads

Hi Xyne,
I start using Powerpill some time ago and I want to ask you is it possible to commit to your project, maybe via github? I tried to find option to check file list, before download all files via system upgrade. During my searches I found couple of bugs, using flake8 tool and want to fix them.

Which bugs in which files? All I see are cosmetic errors.
