dma147: Why is this package (qpkg) orphaned in the AUR?

dma147 · 2006-03-13 17:24:42

Because I've absolutly no time beside my job and the postgraduate professional education.

I should create a page for qpkg where the new maintainer in AUR can get the source. of further releases.

I have adopted the package, though the Url http://www.linux-stats.org/download/ does not allow directory indexing so i can't check when a new version is up in order to update it... also can I get the update scripts (the one that creates ur .pl files) so i can create a mirror??
thx

As I've said, I've to create a page for it.
Here you can get new releases: http://developer.berlios.de/projects/qpkg/

I'll also create an own homepage for it on berlios.de soon: http://qpkg.berlios.de

... also can I get the update scripts (the one that creates ur .pl files) so i can create a mirror??

Which .pl files and which scripts do you mean?
I've some bash scripts which are updating the qpkg databases. But these scripts are only running on my own system for now unless I've implemented something like a mirror feature in qpkg.

That's what i actually meant, the Sh scripts that does create the update database file...

Okay... I've found out where these errors came from...
They were only be caused by orphaned packages. I've fixed this for 1.0.4 but I'll first try to implement the dependency check and -install when installing packages from AUR, before releasing this new version.

So please be patient.

dma147 · 2006-03-25 10:17:05

Okay... the next milestone qpkg-1.1.0 is out now and available through AUR.
It now supports voting for packages on AUR (-P/--vote pkgname)!
It doesn't check if you've already voted before, but AUR won't let you vote twice. I'll implement this soon too.

That's _nifty_. woo!

dma147 · 2006-03-25 23:54:18

Version 1.1.1 is out now.

New:
- Voting function now shows a formatted table with found packages and if you've already voted or not
- New configuration variable in ~/.qpkgrc with which you can choose your favourite texteditor for viewing and editing the PKGBUILDs when installing packages from AUR.

You'll find it on AUR:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=qpkg

Or directly on its homepage:
http://qpkg.berlios.de

And don't forget to vote for this script on AUR!

have fun.

It seems like a nice program but i have problem with it
[root@InSaNe qpkg]# qpkg -p kiso
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/qpkg", line 337, in ?
AUR_USER = commands.getoutput("source "+homedir+"/.qpkgrc ; echo ${AUR_USER}")
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/commands.py", line 44, in getoutput
return getstatusoutput(cmd)[1]
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/commands.py", line 54, in getstatusoutput
text = pipe.read()
IOError: [Errno 4] Interrupted system call
Any ideas?

dma147 · 2006-03-28 09:29:16

uhh... ouch... there seems something really br0ken with your python installation... I really don't have any ideas what this could be. But I'm quiet sure, that it's not the fault of qpkg.

Insane-Boy · 2006-03-28 09:43:32

My python is up2date but i reupgraded it.. there is no effect.

T-Dawg · 2006-03-29 00:17:24

ummm...

    AUR_USER = commands.getoutput("source "+homedir+"/.qpkgrc ; echo ${AUR_USER}")
    AUR_PASS = commands.getoutput("source "+homedir+"/.qpkgrc ; echo ${AUR_PASS}")
    QPKG_EDITOR = commands.getoutput("source "+homedir+"/.qpkgrc ; echo ${QPKG_EDITOR}")

you do know you can replace all that with

execfile(homedir+'/.qpkgrc')

right?

Hi Penguin,

no, I didn't know that, but that's not so bad, because I've started to learn python just with this project and I'm still learning. *g*
So it's only a reason for a new release in the next days.

Thanks.

I think that it looks nicer if you print the "[Y/n]"s on the same line as the question, just like pacman does:

            out("nAre you sure, that you want to install ""+SEARCH+"" directly from AUR?")
    YESNO = raw_input(" [Y/n] ")

$ qpkg -p qpkg

Are you sure, that you want to create the package for "qpkg" directly from AUR? [Y/n]

meow · 2006-07-31 03:25:27

And another thing.. I just noticed that when adjusting the size of the terminal while being asked a question terminates qpkg:

$ qpkg -p zsnes-wip

Are you sure, that you want to install "zsnes-wip" directly from AUR? [Y/n] Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/qpkg", line 1271, in ?
    YESNO = raw_input(" [Y/n] ")
EOFError

Maybe you need to use something other than raw_input?

Back2Cali · 2006-10-21 07:36:20

Hi!

I just have a short question...
Since I haven't seen any update or anything like that for quite a long time, I questioned myself if the program will still be developed? I just want to be sure....

Thanks!
