yaourt: pacman frontend

Use srcpac for that.

Maybe I am not looking in the right place, but whats up with yaourt renaming whatever terminal you have open xterm when it finishes it's operation?

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

$ find /var/abs/ -name computertemp

It works great for me:

yaourt + customizepkg are better than srcpac

2 solutions:
- set UpdateTerminalTitle to "no" in yaourtrc (man yaourtrc)
- add dynamic title in your bashrc file:

PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD}\007"

I've run into this issue as well.

Still love yaourt, though. Good job.

Sorry, I had a mis-configured pacman.conf. Works like a charm. Thanks!

hi wain,
new yaourt with new pacman release seems to ignore the IgnorePkg entry in pacman.conf.

Did you try with pacman first? The behavior has changed slightly.
The IgnorePkg entries are ignored when you explicitly ask for the targets (IgnorePkg is more useful
when the targets are implicit : either pulled dependencies, or with -Su operation).

You are right, yaourt find ignorepkg by parsing "pacman --debug" output.

This output has change in pacman 3.1.

pacman 3.0 wrote:

debug: config: ignorepkg: kernel26

Problem fixed in next release ;)

other known problem:
- searching for orphans give wrong output (see http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9144)

Ohh, that's odd. Just curious, why does it need to do that?
And what does yaourt do with IgnorePkg entries?

Some users use multiple Include=/file to split pacman.conf. Instead of parsing all this files in bash (the case in firsts yaourt's releases), I let pacman doing that.
yaourt has to know ignorepkg when upgrading packages from AUR (yaourt -Su --aur)

Ah ok, thanks for the clarification.
The parsing of pacman.conf for external tools might not be ideal though

Shirakawasuna · 2008-01-14 09:11:56

With 0.8.8, there's still an issue with installing dependencies of aur packages which are in the repos. What I mean by this is if I install btanks from the aur and it needs to install lua, I will get this message after btanks has compiled: "Do you want to remove these packages? [Y/n]", with lua as the listed package. pacman 3.1.0, which was just released in [core], can now use --asdeps to avoid problems with these kinds of things, and I just wanted to give a friendly reminder.

Thanks!

Password_s_? It should be using sudo which uses your normal login pw.

EDIT: added my name to the sudoers file with visudo, and it works now

hello wain,
i've discovered the --asdeps flag for pacman (installs packages and flags them as dependency for another package).
does the new version of yaourt use this flag for installing aur dependencies?

Hi DonVla,

Yes yaourt use --asdeps since 0.8.8.

DonVla · 2008-01-16 21:31:16

thanks wain!
and how did you manage this for packages installed (and built) as deps from aur? does yaourt "remember" the installing order?

not for the moment. --asdeps is only used whith makepkg to build the package, but that's on my TODOLIST

No, it's already done. Can you wait for the next release ?

Otherwise download this (same as yaourt 0.8.9 + this fix): http://archiwain.free.fr/yaourt/yaourt

ah thanks
Another question:
Is the --nocolor option meant to not-output those codes:
yaourt --nocolor -Si aur/tupac >/tmp/test; kwrite /tmp/test:

I'd like to have yaourt ouput just the descriptions so I can pipe them to a dialog... (tupac frontend)
It would cost me some code...

Also I wanted to ask why there are so many spaces in yaourts output. I find them a bit annoying cause I have to scroll up all the time to read all messages. There are a lot of empty spaces that aren't needed. Lastly could you explain why you choose to have yaourt react immediately at users imput. I'd prefer having to hit return after awnsering a question... sometimes you hit the wrong button and: %#@& . Same thing could count for yaourt -S <package>. pacman normally asks for a confirmation on displaying all targetpackages, before actually installing them... I like that.

yaourt is built to be very fast ! not "fast" as tupac with complex cache system (I find this useless) but fast for the final user with functions like interactiv search. I like colors and clean output with additional informations and many space lines and I like to press less possible keys. That's why I choose this behaviour for yaourt.
But it's easy to implement an option to use classic behaviour "Press enter to valid" for the next release.
Look at http://bugs.archlinux.fr/index.php?do=d … task_id=99

--nocolor switch is a bit crapy (because I prefer colors). It will be fixed too:
http://bugs.archlinux.fr/index.php?do=d … task_id=98
