yaourt: pacman frontend

Multiple instances patch has been implemented in a simplest way from my point of view:
The pacman_queuing() function is called directly from yaourt each time it is necessary.
For example:
if [ $REFRESH -eq 1 ]; then
        pacman_queuing;    launch_with_su "$PACMANBIN -Sy"
        ...
Easy no ?

Yes, it's actually one of the two alternatives I was thinking about
The second alternative was adding two more functions, besides the pacman_queuing one :

_pacman() {
pacman_queuing; "$PACMANBIN $@"
}
_pacman_su() {
pacman_queuing;    launch_with_su "$PACMANBIN $@"
}

but that doesn't seem very useful finally

Otherwise, in the while loop of the pacman_queuing function, wouldn't it be better to add a sleep call ?

Xilon · 2007-09-06 11:59:07

The current way is very inefficient and spikes CPU usage to 100%, adding a sleep would suffice.

pacman_queuing(){
    if [ -f /tmp/pacman.lck ]; then 
            msg "Pacman is currently in use, please wait."
        while [ -f /tmp/pacman.lck ]; do
            sleep 5;                                                            
        done 
    fi   
}

I removed the "continue" from there as well since it seems completely redundant. Maybe having an option to change the sleep interval would be good.

Why am I getting this message when issuing "yaourt -Syu --aur":

xorg: not found on AUR
yaourt: up to date
Following packages have not been installed:
xorg

That's kinda strange, I never installed xorg via AUR ?

kishd · 2007-09-10 09:10:51

xorg metapackage has been removed from the repos so yaourt is looking for it in AUR and cannot find it.

awagner · 2007-09-15 08:22:11

the problems I reported earlier (searching for lots of current/extra/community packages on AUR and package zlib not found) seem to have vanished. I was forced offline for nearly two weeks and now it's all working fine again. Don't know if it is because of some update (I remember to have seen a yaourt update pulled in yesterday when I finally was able to pacman -Syu.)

Anyway, thanks for the great tool that yaourt is.

Just my 2¢ this is really a great tool. Thanks for the good work

erm67 · 2007-09-15 12:18:27

Is it possible to make yaourt cache the downloaded files, I mean if two packages requires the same source or I re-download and re-compile the same package yaourt fetches again all the sources from the internet, since most PKGBUILD uses md5sum downloaded files could be cached in a directory and reused if the md5sum is correct.
Great tool anyway.

thank you awagner, oli and erm67

@awagner: "zlib not found" problem is not a yaourt problem. I think your pacman database was altered.
@erm67: just edit "/etc/makepkg.conf" file and activate "SRCDEST=/var/cache/somewhere"

new bugfix release is coming soon

erm67 · 2007-09-17 23:54:54

This is curious I have a svn PKGBUILD in AUR (libflashsupport-svn) I have set the revision in the PKGBUILD as 2332, and on the svn server the latest release is 2348. Compiling it with makepkg creates the version I specified, instead compiling with yaourt I get an older release.:rolleyes: And it even says that 2269 is newer than 2332 ..... What is wrong?

==> Searching new CVS/SVN/GIT revision for libflashsupport-svn
==> retrieving latest revision number from svn... 2269
==> newer revision detected: 2269
==> modifying PKGBUILD to pkgver=2269..

Hi erm67, there is a problem with versionpkg.

Try to download the PKGBUILD and run:

$ versionpkg --check-only
==> retrieving latest revision number from svn... 2269
==> newer revision detected: 2269

But I don't know why versionpkg failed to get the last revision

Sorry I made some tests and found out that versionpkg is right, the latest version of libflashsupport is 2269, the revision 2348 that can be seen on top of the page refers probably to the whole svn repository.
Again nice tools

hello,

think i found a bug (?) in yaourt.
when running

 yaourt -Qo /etc/xdg/xfce4/helpers.rc

i don't get any results.
but running pacman yields:

pacman -Qo /etc/xdg/xfce4/helpers.rc
/etc/xdg/xfce4/helpers.rc is owned by exo 0.3.2-5

the package owning the file is installed, and pacman shows it.

you're right DonVla. Already fixed (and improved) in future release.

Hi,
"Searching for new version on AUR" works only for packages that can't be found in repositories.

DonVla · 2007-10-09 16:44:22

hello wain,

(answer to comment from here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … &K=yaourt)
i didn't thought that IgnorePkg= in pacman.conf works w/ yaourt as well. i've tried it now, and yes it also works for me.
thanks.

I've noticed a slight quirk in PKGBUILD parsing, but didn't investigate any further.

$ yaourt -Si htdig

It's probably the pkgdesc: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/htdig/htdig/PKGBUILD

kishd · 2007-10-29 04:10:29

I just noticed something strange. Running pacman -Qe results in an empty list. However running yaourt -Qe gives me a long list of explicity installed packages. Any idea why the two commands result in different output.

byte · 2007-10-29 09:20:48

The pacman behaviour changed in 3.x. -Qe now only lists packages that once were installed as dependencies and that are currently not required by anything else.

kishd · 2007-10-29 09:30:35

Thank You. Will yaourt change to do the same?

shining · 2007-10-29 10:59:42

I don't remember exactly, but I think yaourt had -Qe / -Qd / -Qt options.
Qd list dependencies
Qe list explictly installed packages
Qt list orphans : dependencies no longer required by any others packages (pacman -Qe option).

I partly copied these options for pacman 3.1 .

Thanks shining. I did a man:/yaourt and got the info. I have to remember to RTFM more often.

Hello byte

This PKGBUILD is stored in dos format

[$ file PKGBUILD 
PKGBUILD: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators

I've added a little hack in next release

emphire · 2007-12-13 23:15:13

Is there a way to compile/install a package from abs (not aur) from yaourt? I thought -Sb might do it, but it looks like I'm wrong.

ex.

$ yaourt -Sb computertemp
==> Downloading computertemp PKGBUILD from AUR...
Error: computertemp not found in AUR.

$ find /var/abs/ -name computertemp
/var/abs/community/gnome/computertemp
