** pending: check why it gets messed when you erase a repo. By now you can run:
rm /var/lib/tupac/*
0.5.5:
- Added an option '--aur-updates' that checks the version of installed aur packages. NOTE: it highlights if the version does not match, not if there's an update.
0.5.4.1:
- Fixed a bug that prevented out of date results from appearing in aur searches
- Added settings option called VERBOSITY. If set to 1 it enables the old tupac behavior in which every single package update get listed. (requested on AUR)
0.5.4:
- Fixed german bug
- Fixed bug updating database
- Fixed bug with proxy
- Added the possibility to use an alternate command instead of pacman through custom settings. checkout tupac --help

[b]Version history:
0.5.3.2:
- Reorganized directory structure.

0.5.1.2:
- Fix wrong version displaying of _NO_REPO_ results.
0.5.1.1:

0.4:
- Improved cache check speed time via new .lastupdate files pacman creates on each repo.
- Added multilanguage suport (it uses LANG variable). Current languages es_ES, es_AR (copy of es_ES), en_US, en_EN (copy of en_EN), ca_ES
- Added gui/cli better wrapping via metalanguage "machine"

- Updated to work with pacman 3.1
0.3.4:
- Now yaourt is only used when installing packages from aur... It was a big delay for nothing.
- You can specify working repos with --repos repo1,repo2,...
0.3.3:
- Added an option to change color scheme
0.3.2:
- Added incremental cache. Now it is much faster.
- Since it shows changes in repos when updating cache, tupac with no arguments now updates cache so that you can see what changed.

- fix typo errors in child program calling function.
0.2.9:
- Support for "alias pacman=tupac"
- Show in search results what packages of AUR are SAFE.

- BUG FIXED: The problem was with finding file owner of packages that weren't part of any repo.
0.2.2
- Fixed initial bug with new default php.ini configuration
______________________-
I wrote a cached pacman implementation. It is really fast. See the information below.
I wrote it because i loved yaourt but i didn't like its performance.
I added the functionality to perform AND searches both in local and AUR repositories. Adding words to the search string actually filters the search. It doesn't add more results or tries to find the exact phrase.
The cache updates automatically, so there's nothing to care about.
It is written in php and uses yaourt to perform installations, so it is included as a dependency.
NOTE: After last update my php got corrupted. If this happens to you, you will have to fix it by editing the file /etc/php/php.ini and changing extension_dir to extension_dir = "/usr/lib/php/20060613/"
It can be found on AUR.
tupac --help
tupac: A cached pacman implementatioin. Version: 0.4
Usage:
tupac [word] [word] [word] ... : Search for and install packages that match all [word]
tupac -Ss [word] [word] [word] ... : Search for packages that match all [word]
tupac -Qo [file] [file] [file] ... : Search for each [file] owner
tupac --checkdir [directory] : Check integrity of a directory.
tupac --orphans [directory] : Find files that are not part of any package
tupac : Just update cache
tupac [anything else] : bypass to yaourt
tupac --set-proxy [host:port|none] : set up a proxy
Modifiers:
--safe : Only search for safe packages
--noaur : Don't search in AUR
--noprompt : Don't prompt anything
--color [darkbg|lightbg|nocolor] : Choose color scheme
--repos repo1,repo2,repo3,... : Set active repositories
--lang [xx_XX|machine] : Set working language
tupac vs pacman
SEARCHING: (aur search omited on tupac)
[franki@patito php]$ time pacman -Ss kde>/dev/null
real 0m0.537s
user 0m0.227s
sys 0m0.300s
[franki@patito php]$ time tupac --noaur -Ss kde>/dev/null
real 0m0.201s
user 0m0.147s
sys 0m0.047s
FIND FILE OWNER:
this test is not relevant anymore, since pacman became slightly faster (once cached).
tupac vs yaourt
SEARCHING: (tupac gives 100 more results from AUR)
[franki@patito php]$ time yaourt -Ss kde>/dev/null
real 0m59.746s
user 0m12.156s
sys 0m41.927s
[franki@patito php]$ time tupac -Ss kde>/dev/null
real 0m3.182s
user 0m0.470s
sys 0m0.057s
improved search
EXAMPLE: looking for "3d game"
yaourt -Ss 3d game -> 4 results (it only includes packages that match exactly '3d game')
pacman -Ss 3d game -> 109 results (it includes all packages that include any of both words)
tupac -Ss 3d game -> 33 results (all packages contain the word 3d AND the word game)
REGENERATION CACHE:
[franki@patito php]$ time tupac -Ss gaupol
==> Generating PAJMAN_CACHE
1 aur/gaupol 0.12.1-1 - This is the installed version
An editor for text-based subtitles
real 0m1.878s
user 0m0.893s
sys 0m0.290s
[franki@patito php]$ time tupac -Qo /opt/kde/bin/startkde
==> Reusing existing PAJMAN_CACHE
==> Creating file list (it doesn't exist)
/opt/kde/bin/startkde is owned by kdemod-kdebase 3.5.7-20
real 0m1.727s
user 0m1.323s
sys 0m0.327s
I hope you like it
PS: I am open to any comments/issues/improvements you may have/suggest.

well better name than yaourt. Speedtests are great too
But why php? Cant run this, typing tupac just prints the php code into screen...
No lamp on this machine, just the php installed. So am i supposed to install and config whole lamp to use this ?
Offline
why php? Because it is object oriented, because it is much more clear than bash, because it has the serialize function that makes caching a blink and because i mainly code in php.
I don't understand why it outputs the code when you run it. To me it works fine. it is a standard unix executable with #!/usr/bin/php.
Maybe you can check if the file is really an executable. Try:
chmod a+rx /usr/bin/tupac

Same problem here. PHP is in the right place, and tupac is executable. Running
php /usr/bin/tupac
does the same thing.

I added the php 5 <?php instead of simply <? and added the paremeter -q.
Can you try if now it works?
If it doesn't, can you check if running this works?
php /usr/bin/tupac -Ss caca
Thank you in advance
Offline
Well, it runs.
sudo tupac -Ss yaourt
==> Generating PAJMAN_CACHE
Running it more times generates the same message. The cache isn't created and it can't be run as a normal user.

I will add a progress indicator to the cache generation process.
Also, when i can, i will test it on another computer.

Well, it runs.
sudo tupac -Ss yaourt ==> Generating PAJMAN_CACHE

same ^^
PAJMAN_CACHE? should be pacman cache?
Offline
It is called PAJMAN_CACHE because initially it was thought to be a rewrite of pajman, another pacman wrapper that i wrote. Now it should be called TUPAC_CACHE, but first i want to fix the errors.
Can you answer this questions?
1) Does the program do anything else? Or it stays creating PAJMAN_CACHE forever till you cancel it?
2) Does the program create the directory /var/lib/pajman? Are there any files inside?
It is very difficult to solve the problems if it works perfectly in my computer, so any feedback will be appreciated.
Offline
It generates the same problem as above. It spits out Generating PAJMAN_CACHE, nothing else seems to happen.
Offline
I don't think i'll sue myself yet
Offline
Maybe it is the php version. Mine is 5.2.4-7, but i think tupac should work on any php5 installation.
Offline
My friend told me that he would lend me the laptop if it doesn't work in his computer, so maybe tomorrow i will have something clear.
Another idea
It may be related to php configuration. If you can, can you set the first line to look like this?
/usr/bin/tupac
#!/usr/bin/php -n
the '-n' parameter will avoid using php.ini (it will use default configuration). This way also works fine for me.
Offline
Ok, I was able to reproduce the problem. I changed php.ini to the current default configuration (php.ini.pacnew).
Let's see what i find...
Offline
It works here with #!/usr/bin/php -n
Offline
I was able to reproduce the problem it had. It was related to the new php.ini configuration.
I fixed that by setting the executable to be:
#!/usr/bin/php -n
Aur package updated!
Offline
I think there's a bug in tupac -Qo:
dir@ayahuasca ~ $ tupac -Qo /usr/bin/tupac
==> Reusing existing PAJMAN_CACHE
==> Reusing existing file list
/usr/bin/tupac has no owner
dir@ayahuasca ~ $ pacman -Qo /usr/bin/tupac
/usr/bin/tupac is owned by tupac 0.2.1-1
dir@ayahuasca ~ $
Offline
BUG FIXED. AUR UPDATED.
[franki@patito abs.local]$ tupac -Qo /usr/bin/tupac
==> Regenerating PAJMAN_CACHE
==> Creating file list (it doesn't exist)
/usr/bin/tupac is owned by tupac 0.2.3-1
The problem was with packages that weren't part of any repo.
Offline
MINOR BUG: Found another bug. If you omit aur search, it doesn't show packages that are not part of any repo. it should show them tagged as _NO_REPO_
But this will come tomorrow... good night!

UPDATED 0.2.4. AUR UPDATED
- Fixed the bug that prevented tupac from showing norepo search results when aur search was omitted.
- Now it checks that contents of /var/lib/pacman are directories, and if not, it omits them.
- Moved all naming and directories from pajman to tupac.
ATENTION: - If you plan to erase /var/lib/pajman (with J of paJaro) be careful. It is very similar to the most important directory in arch. This was another reason to move naming. Never erase it if you are drunk, sleepy, stressed or under any circumstance that may reduce your concentration..
Offline
NOTE: tupac doesn't take care of what pacman.conf says. It will show any package that is in the db (/var/lib/pacman), even if it is disabled in pacman configuration.
I don't find necessary to implement this, but if somebody wants it i can develop it.
Offline
Well now it works, and it's super fast compared to yaourt
mikko@desktop:~$ time tupac -Ss kde>/dev/null
real 0m3.321s
user 0m0.400s
sys 0m0.057s
mikko@desktop:~$ time yaourt -Ss kde>/dev/null
real 1m18.245s
user 0m17.322s
sys 0m12.666s
mikko@desktop:~$ time pacman -Ss kde>/dev/null
real 0m2.112s
user 0m0.233s
sys 0m0.430s
Now if I'd have an alias file for pacman to use always the fastest option (yaourt, tupac, pacman for aur, searching, installing) I'd be happy ^^
Offline
Wow, I've never seen a search performed so fast! This is really great, thanks for your work
