yaourt: pacman frontend

violagirl23 · 2008-08-10 07:25:28

I am having a problem when yaourt has to download dependencies. The dependencies will download and install and then it will abort and I have to start it again.
Example (I cut out the unimportant things like comments):

So you see after it installs onscripter-en's dependencies, it aborts, then I have to restart it to actually install onscripter-en. I've had it happen with packages where a dependency has dependencies (like this one) and it installs these 2nd dependencies then aborts, then I restart it and it installs the 1st dependency, and then it aborts, and then I start yaourt yet again and it sees all dependencies are satisfied and finally installs the package. I'm not sure what is causing this (has happened to me a few times now), but I am wondering if it's not some kind of bug in yaourt.

For some reason yaourt stopped using pacman and now only is using the aur. How can I solve this?

DonVla · 2008-08-13 13:08:22

is yaourt still maintained?
it works fine here. just wanted to ask ...

vlad

wain · 2008-08-15 19:14:51

Yes yaourt is still maintained ;-)
@hybrid, voidzero, violagirl23 please take a look at yaourt-git. That should solve your problems.

Vintendo · 2008-08-15 19:31:53

Why isn't yaourt in community. It had 987 (!) votes

woohoo !!!!
wain is back .... (perhaps he was never gone)

indianahorst · 2008-08-24 00:38:28

Who can I get yaourt working with

ColorMod LightBackGround

(in /etc/yaourtrc)

AND not using an italic font for the package descriptions?
The italic font not really good readable

OK, ColorMod TextOnly would be a possibilty, but I like the colors

stonecrest · 2008-09-01 15:22:34

"mingetty: up to date (1.07-2 flaged as out of date)" should be "flagged" Keep up the good work.

Yaourt will never be included in community. The reason is, it makes it easy to install packages from unsecure source (AUR) and that is not what we want. Anyway, you can get binary yaourt here:

[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/i686
or
[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/x86_64

Procyon · 2008-10-16 21:01:52

I started using yaourt a while ago, but sometimes I had a problem with sourceforge and I thought it was javascript requirement or something evil from sf.

But after removing my .wgetrc I get better results. I was using a recommendation from elsewhere:

referer=http://www.google.com/
timeout=120
tries=15
user-agent="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; OMG MB; Windows 98)"
wait=2
waitretry=30

So something in there causes sf to download html pages instead of packages.

And about just having to press "y" instead of "y<enter>" like in pacman, it makes me a bit worried that this will interpret garbage keys (like pressing enter when there is no question up and that answers something in the future) or does it discard the input before asking any questions?

you can change this behaviour in /etc/yaourtrc:

DontNeedToPressEnter no

I have been thinking about a new feature for yaourt. It would be great if, when the package is build, it gets copied to /var/cache/pacman/pkg/. When you try to reinstall a package from the AUR, yaourt first looks in /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ if the package was build already. It would save a lot of time

But then what happens to all the packages that fetch the sources from a source control (like all the *-git packages?). When there are changes in the source, the package will not recompile and therefore you won't have the newest version.
And AFAIK yaourt keeps some files of the makepkg/installation-process so in the case it fails, not everthing will be lost.

Just some thoughts.

I don't know if it can save a lot of time... but you can use ExportToLocalRepository in /etc/yaourtrc to export all built packages as a local repository.

The git version comes in the packagename as yyyymmdd IIRC. So that wouldn't be a problem.

It was just an idea of wich I thought it wouldn't be too hard to realize. I will look into the ExportToLocalRepository.

WladyX · 2008-11-24 15:00:49

Does yaourt have proxy support yet?
I set my proxy both as env variable and /etc/wgetrc.
pacman -Syu works, yaourt -Syu doesn't.
Any ideeas?
Thanks.

THAT was my original problem, since I *define* /var/abs/local/{sources,pkgs,build} in /etc/makepkg.conf, but yaourt never honors that, instead opting to place built packages and the ENTIRE build directory in the same place. That's NOT my desired behavior.

I'd prefer if yaourt would honor my *build* directory as its *temp* setting (without the requisite "yaourt-tmp-$USER" prefix), and honor /etc/makepkg.conf's pkgdir export as the pkg destination once built. I can almost live without a separate sources dir if the above actually worked.

Hell, just add *sane* package destination and temp/build destination options to /etc/yaourtrc and I'd be ecstatic. "ExportToLocalRepository" doesn't look like a real "repository" IMHO if the build directory is in there with it. Seriously.

Im getting this when I try run through yaourt(which is set to use pacman-color):
Is this correct how it wants me run as root instead with sudo? I can do pacman -Syu without it asking me for root pass.

[~]-» yaourt -Syu

Hi, i love arch/yaourt and was just wondering;

I wanna request an option that could be put in .yaourtrc to force everything to be compiled from source.

i already know about "-Sb", but this only compiles the target package,
also,
when globally upgrading arch (-Syu) its impossible (correct me if iam wrong) to compile the updates straight from source.

i think a global option just to force everything would work really well.

Thank you.

Just guessing: yaourt as a bash script is not aware of settings made for zsh. Try to add pacman-color to /etc/sudoers.

hmm yea that's what I was thinking but before that I switched back from yaourt-git to normal package and now it doesn't ask for root pass.

Hi,

Is there any progress on the fixing of using upper-case characters in /etc/yaourtrc? I'd quite like to use $HOME, but it keeps converting it to $home :-(

Thanks,

Pete.

does the tilde (~) character not work?

cheers Barde

petelewis · 2008-12-12 14:00:09

No, the tilde doesn't appear to work.

Error: TmpDirectory is not a directory
~/builds/tmp no recognized in config file

For individual users, I can get around this by each having their own .yaourtrc file, but it would be nice if this could be fixed for the general case.

Thanks.

Hi all.

I've created a patch for yaourt that adds the option "--ignorearch". This passes -A to makepkg and allows one to install without complaints about PKGBUILDs neglecting his/her architecture.

Here's the patch. Apply to /usr/bin/yaourt.
