Bauerbill: Powerpill + ABS, AUR, CPAN and Hackage support + more

orphius1970 · 2010-01-17 16:04:49

Xyne,
Love bauerbill. I have already dumped yaourt. There is only one thing I would like to request or now how to do.
In yaourt I could install from a specific repository by simply typing
yaourt -S aur/program
Is there a way to do the same in bauerbill or can you add it?

Xyne · 2010-01-17 17:38:26

You can already do that with repos, e.g. community/foo. I'll look into adding support for "aur/".

What's the reason for doing this? all packages have a unique name anyway (even the aur guidelines say you cannot use a name that is in the official repos)

So why bother giving a repo name -- unless you have enabled testing.

Exactly

On a side note the archlinuxfr repo has duplicate names from AUR packages.

All the packages in my repo are also contained in the AUR (or community). The unique package rule only applies to the official repos (core, extra, community) and the AUR, not to third party repos and testing.

aur/foo should work now.

thank you Xyne
i also was using archlinuxfr and the duplicate names were the problem.

But now bauerbill -S --aur foo doesn't work, I have to specify aur/foo even though I have --aur in the command.

ooops

It should be fixed now in perl-xyne-arch>=1.0.41

When doing bauerbill -Su (if AUR is enabled), I receive:

--> Searching for upgradable repo packages...
--> Searching for upgradable AUR packages...
--> Loading AUR taurball data...
warning: about to source /tmp/bauerbill/build/AUR/lenovo-sl-laptop/PKGBUILD
view [v]  backup [b]  edit [e]  continue [ok]  abort [x]

With disabled AUR I get:

--> Searching for upgradable repo packages...
--> Reflecting... retrieved 0 mirrors.
:: The following packages will be downloaded:

So, there is no possibility to skip an AUR package update and proceed to regular packages. I'd be great to see skip [s] among the options for AUR (even if there is only one update).

jowilkin · 2010-01-18 13:03:29

I'd like the option to skip an AUR package upgrade. If there is a kernel upgrade for instance in AUR, I don't always want to compile it right away, I would rather just update the rest of the system and do the kernel when it's convenient.

Xyne · 2010-01-18 13:22:53

This keeps coming up... just use the "--ignore" option. Pacman doesn't ask you to confirm each upgradable package so neither does Bauerbill. Adding [s] is more complicated than it's worth because it would need to track dependencies retroactively and remove previous packages from the build queue if the user suddenly decides not to build one of the dependencies.

EnvoyRising · 2010-01-18 22:56:14

Perhaps you could append FAQs to the first post to reduce the frequency that certain questions are repeated. This thread is 8 pages long so far, and i doubt everyone is reading every post just to get an answer.

melik · 2010-01-18 23:01:30

Thanks a lot Xyne

I can finally remove Yaourt .

jowilkin · 2010-01-19 05:59:20

I apologize if this error has been brought up before (I saw a lot of "uninitialized value" errors in this thread but not this specifically I don't think). Whenever I try to install from AUR I get something like this

> sbb -S virtualbox_bin
warning: virtualbox_bin does not match any package or group in sync db

I reinstalled bauerbill and it didnt seem to fix it. I think I have the latest of the required packages

> pacman -Qs xyne
local/perl-xyne-arch 1.0.41-1
    Xyne's Arch-specific Perl modules.
local/perl-xyne-common 1.0.6-1
    Xyne's common Perl modules.

> pacman -Qs bauerbill
local/bauerbill 0.1.1-1
    A Powerpill extension with AUR and ABS support, among other things.

@jowilkin
That should be fixed now, although I have no idea how your umask could be completely undefined. I've added an extra check nevertheless.

I've also added a short FAQ to the info page and mentioned it in the OP.

gonX · 2010-01-19 08:36:19

I also get the uninitalized variable using the latest version of whatever from your repos.
It would be really cool if you could add --noconfirm on AUR. When you do it'll be a definite replacement for yaourt for me.

Please post the error output. There are thousands upon thousands of variables in the code, spread across multiple modules... there is not way for me to debug that without knowing which variable and where.

That will never happen because it is a major security issue. Look at the "TrustedUsers" option though, which will let you bypass the inspection for users that you trust. I'll add that to the FAQ too.

Still trying to get the Editor to work. I use emacs and thus use emacsclient as my "editor". This communicates with a running emacs, sending it the filename to be edited. The problem is that bauerbill starts a new shell as root and thus doesn't know about the running instance of emacs, so when it tried to run emacsclient, I get a complaint about no running emacs server.

It would work around this if:

1] The Editor setting in bauerbill.conf overrode any environment setting of EDITOR, because right now, I don't think it does
2] The Editor setting allowed me to set arguments to the command. IOW:

Editor=/usr/bin/emacsclient --socket-name /tmp/emacs1000/server

Xyne · 2010-01-20 08:10:53

@jdarnold
The editor setting in bauerbill.conf (or powerpill.conf, if using PowerpillConf) does override $EDITOR (I've just tested it with vim and nano).

I've also updated the code to allow arguments to the editor.

JohannesSM64 · 2010-01-20 11:40:24

error: no valid editor specified: enter the name or path of an editor or hit enter to exit

When are you planning to merge in your fix?

Xyne · 2010-01-20 12:32:24

It's already merged. Grabbed the latest version from my site or wait for your mirror to sync. Always check my site for the latest version.

Thanks for the change. Works perfectly now that I know to change the config in .config/powerpill and not the one in /etc/bauerbill.conf

I actually haven't gotten around to trying this yet (on the list for tonight, looks awesome), but I noticed something on the website after deciding to randomly click the XHTML validation:

You need to escpae the < and > in "<pkg>", as it gets picked up as an HTML tag and not displayed.

"…upgrade. Use Pacman's "--ignore <pkg>" option to do that. Bauerbill tries to..."

zowki · 2010-01-20 16:42:37

ehntoo is right about this bug. I am able to replicate it on my computer.
