Yaourt Seach AUR Feature Not Working

onguarde · 2008-09-14 07:20:38

Peace!

I usually install aur packages using yaourt for convenience. However, recently it is not possible. Yaourt -Ss gnomad2, or anything else, returns nothing. However, searching and instaling packages from other repos seems fine.

Besides search, normal upgrading of already installed aur pacakges through yaourt -Syu --aur doesn't work either. All the packages are skipped through.

Snippet of pacman.conf file.

[unstable]
Server = ftp://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/archl … po/os/i686
Server = ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/archlinux/$repo/os/i686
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Just guessing here, is the unstable repo down recently? I checked the ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/unstable/os/i686/ and it doesn't seem to have any packages like the other repos. Not sure if it is meant to be this way or...

Thanks in advance!

[unstable] is gone, delete it from pacman.conf.

Hmm.. what should I replace it with? [testing]?

I should really keep up to date with those newsletters...

Probably not, unstable held upstream Release Candidates and similar stuff. In contrast, all packages which go into core, stay a short while in testing first. Developers can choose to move packages that will go into extra through testing if they want to. So unless you want to help test new packages and are prepared for potential breakage (doesn't happen very often, but will happen ) you shouldn't activate testing. Furthermore, if you activate testing you should follow the public developer mailing list.

There is no replacement, but some packages went into extra. See http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev … 06928.html

Ok... so I assume the problem is with yaourt since there's no specifc repo for pkgbuilds.

I mean yaourt -Ss yaourt used to work. The search/install feature works with community/core packages etc. though. It stopped working for aur/unsupported pkgs.

Any ideas?

Works fine here with 0.9.1-1. No problems at all.

did you set "SearchInAurUnsupported" to "No" in yaourtrc ?

I checked yaourtrc and it wasn't set to know. Anyhow, I tried setting to Yes to no avail. I don't remember doing anything else... literally just stopped working. *puzzled* Maybe I should try reinstalling.

There's a yaourt-git package in AUR, if you continue having troubles with the stable version you can try upgrading to that.

I tried compiling the git package and i got the following error.

I tried installing git but it doesn't help.

Anything I'm doing wrong?

Following the instructions here http://archux.com/page/installing-programs-aur

Thanks in advance!

server seems to be down

I found a lead that solved the problem. More of a hack actually...

The thing is the search/build aur feature is only present when i reenable the TOR and Polipo daemons i.e starting it.

From rc.conf,

DAEMONS=(kdm @syslog-ng @hal @alsa @tuntap @crond !tor !polipo @network @pdnsd @netfs  !openntpd @foldingathome @samba @cups)

Isn't it enough to disable the daemons to completely disable tor?

I tried uncommenting the HTTP Proxy section in bashrc but that doesn't seem to help either.

#Redirect Traffic through TOR/Privoxy/Polopo (8118/8123)
#http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8123/
#HTTP_PROXY=$http_proxy
#export http_proxy HTTP_PROXY

Hmmm.. recent yaourt versions seem to have solved this problem.
