Re: yaourt: pacman frontend

there's one thing missing..


if I'm installing something with yaourt, it should respond to the unix SIGNALS correctly, this is:
- if I press Ctrl+C it should stop and sigterm the pacman/libalpm and then stop the yaourt thing.

it happens not. I must press up to 3 times to stop yaourt from installing that app.

Re: yaourt: pacman frontend

I find it a little bit strange that yaourt asks twice if one wishes to edit PKGBUILD and .install files.
Shouldn't one query be enough?

Re: yaourt: pacman frontend

Guy, what do you think about about such optoin to add to yaourt or pacman.

So for example we list available updates, but add the time when the package is appeared.
==> Software upgrade (new version) :
extra/aria2 1.6.3-1 -> 1.7.1-2  (10 days ago)

Is it possible?

It would help for those who wants to stick to tested releases by community and avoid upgrading to newest packages those have a risk of non-discovered  bugs and just update to these packages later after a few weeks of the release date.

Sometimes I update right away after packages are released, but when I don't have time to fix something I would prefer to stay away from newest upgrades. But the problem it is hard to know which is new package and which one is old

I agree - or the post-edit query should be a different one, with [Y/n] rather than [y/N].

Re: yaourt: pacman frontend

When I try to install packages from AUR, when I press 'y' or 'n' when it asks about editing the PKGBUILD, yaourt just kills itself with no output. If I press y, it opens nano like normal but when I close it yaourt is still dead. Any ideas?

Re: yaourt: pacman frontend

When I try to issue a

yaourt -Syub

It tries to compile the correct software, but not the right version. It tries to compile the version I already have installed instead of the newest version.

Yet

yaourt -Syu

works just fine.

Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Re: yaourt: pacman frontend

Maybe it was mentioned somehere, but since one or two month, my yaourt output looks like this.
It is a bug or my fault?

Re: yaourt: pacman frontend

So, I'm using yaourt-git and I have my sudo timeout set to ask for a password every time.

So, if I run yaourt, it asks for my password three times. Is there any way to consolidate that into one?

Yaourt can be modified to support this, all it really requires is this

stty -echo
read -p "sudo password: " spass
stty echo

sudo -S [command] <<<${spass}

sorry, but I don't understand, how do you stop it asking 3 times?

Re: yaourt: pacman frontend

He propose that yaourt stores password and then use it for each sudo call, but the password will be available for every PKGBUILD and visible in process list.

If you want to disable sudo verification, just modify "is_sudo_allowed()" in /usr/bin/yaourt:

is_sudo_allowed()
{
  return 0
}

The rsync server is not updated as often as your mirror, so you will have to wait a bit before the current version reaches it.

Re: yaourt: pacman frontend

how did this become a "dont use yaourt" thread?  you dont like it/use it/care, please skip the thread...

it is maintained, slow or fast.. it is used by many of us.. 

back on topic, can someone explain to me the difference between the yaourt package and yaourt-git?  on my desktop I upgraded yaourt, and get warned about new config file (yaourtrc).  on laptop, using -git, i get no such message.  both yaourtrc's look the same to me..

I agree. Yaourt is a great program and has worked perfectly for me since I started using Arch Linux back in 2005. There are regular upgrades to adjust to changes to pacman. Please stop the FUD about it not being maintained.

now, it's the same cause the last commit corresponds to the last release, otherwise, -git is the development version.

yaourtrc has bash syntax in -git since a while now, I simply forget to update the PKGBUILD to show the warning in the -git package.

No kidding.  There was a bug in the last release, I created a bug report, the maintainer quickly wrote the patch and the fix was out a day later or so.  Hey, if it ain't broke, why fix it?

I assume there will be a yaourt upgrade to handle the new pacman. I you can't wait, it is written in bash. You could just get rid of the option in question and see what happens.

Re: yaourt: pacman frontend

It is, but 0.9.4.3 doesn't use --print-uris, it runs "pacman -Spu"
Did you installed it from AUR ?
