Re: Clyde - A better libalpm/makepkg wrapper

Can anyone confirm this behaviour?

Just re-built/installed clyde-git and used it to install zotero from the AUR. It built and installed but clyde -Ql or pacman -Ql lists nothing, using -Qo /usr/bin/zotero returns that no one owns the file. Using makepkg to rebuild and pacman -Uf to install over the existing files works fine (-eg. -Ql returns installed package contents as expected). I've not yet tried -R on the inital clyde install. My clyde config is pretty standard except I'm not building in /tmp/clyde-xxx.

Thanks for clyde, it's very handy. Cheers.

I was going to change the behavior like you said earlier, to create the BuildDir directory automatically. This seemed simple but in the process I found some more bugs and more things to do... Anyways... What you said about having the [explicitly set] BuildDir inside /tmp made me think that maybe automatically mkdir-ing the BuildDir might be a good idea after all.

No need to rush on this, and it was not as big of a deal as I first thought. The reference to /var/cache/ (commented) in clyde.conf is what threw me off to begin with. I see that, as you mentioned, using the defaults (no explicit directory in clyde.conf or --builddir) will use / create /tmp/clyde-username automatically. But, I agree, it would be nice to also automatically create the builddir when explicitly specified (e.g, /tmp/clyde).

As to the earlier question (about passing makepkg arguments) is this possible with clyde as it stands currently? *I could not find anything about this on the man page, Wiki, or in the OP. I even asked in IRC. I find that passing "-c" is very useful, since it eliminates the chances of remnant files with newer builds / rebuilds of AUR PKGBUILDs. For reference from another thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 13#p888713

That is when I added

MakepkgArgs = -c

to bauerbill.conf.



* With my eyes, I probably missed it. Happens a lot.

Re: Clyde - A better libalpm/makepkg wrapper

clyde is shut down until I can track down the ghost package bug mentioned by badger. The same bug happened to me at one point but I wasn't sure if I used pacman or clyde. It's safer to assume clyde is buggy.

I bugged the Makefile so you will have to edit it to build clyde.

I can confirm this as well. Here is what I can reproduce:

If I install a local package with clyde, then -Ql will list no files. And so doing -Rs will not remove any files.

clyde -U /path/to/localpkg.tar.xz

But if I instead use pacman, then -Ql will list the files and it can also be uninstalled properly.

pacman -U /path/to/localpkg.tar.xz

This issue does not seem to occur when installing packages from the repos (-S). It only happens on locally installed packages, using -U.

I also reproduced this on repo packages that I downloaded manually and installed with -U, so this bug is not specific to AUR packages.

Re: Clyde - A better libalpm/makepkg wrapper

Wow thanks flan_suse! Because of your clear explanation I knew right away what I was doing wrong. Clyde is working again. Note that any AUR packages synced were also affected because internally, AUR packages are upgraded just like -U.

Thanks iosonofabio, I have fixed the fugly query printing.

Re: Clyde - A better libalpm/makepkg wrapper

Just rebuilt clyde-git, installed via pacman (just for this step), and it's working great now! I did a test on some AUR packages and locally downloaded packages from the repos, such as vlc-plugin. Back in business! Thanks juster!

Re: Clyde - A better libalpm/makepkg wrapper

Clyde uses /etc/clyde.conf. When I change something in pacman.conf, it will not be used in clyde. How can I change that behaviour?
For example, I often use the IgnorePkg entry. Now I have to change that in both files. Am I missing something?

Yes you are, you can simply include pacman.conf in clyde.conf. I uninstalled clyde so I don't have the syntax anymore, but its somewhere in this thread.

Re: Clyde - A better libalpm/makepkg wrapper

Clyde should probably be changed to do that by default... then a clyde.conf could be included in the package.

I agree. When I installed clyde-git, I noticed it took the contents of pacman.conf and dumped them into cylde.conf, which seems redundant. It would make more sense to append Include = /etc/pacman.conf by default.

Re: Clyde - A better libalpm/makepkg wrapper

First of all, thank you for your work.

I have been following this project for a while, using Clyde to search the AUR and Bauerbill as my main package manager. As you guessed, I have recently be forced to a full switch.
What I really miss from Clyde two (little, really) AUR related things:
1. I would like to edit all the PKGBUILDs that are going to be installed before the actual compiling of any of them (instead of editing and compiling one, then editing and compiling the second, etc).
2. it would be nice to have a switch to automatically remove unused makedependencies, mostly like makepkg's "-r" switch, though applied after building all packages. That is, if I am going to install packages "foo" and "bar", which both makedepend on package "xyzzy", Clyde shouldn't install, remove, reinstall and remove "xyzzy" (which I think would happen if it simply called makepkg with the "-r" switch).

Hope I've been clear enough.
Thank you again.

What you said above and passing makepkg arguments are two things I grew to love in the short time I spent with bauerbill. Would be very nice to be able to do the same with clyde.

Re: Clyde - A better libalpm/makepkg wrapper

I think I might have found another bug. When installing an AUR package via clyde , it is listed under "no longer used by any other package" according to clyde --stats.

Here's an example:

I do...

sudo clyde -S bleachbit

The package is built and then installed.

Then I run...

clyde --stats

I find that bleachbit is listed under "no longer used by any other package," which is incorrect, since I explicitly installed it. So I tried something else. First I removed bleachbit.

This time I manually downloaded the tarball from the AUR, and did...

makepkg -src

And finished with...

sudo clyde -U bleachbit-0.8.7-1-any.pkg.tar.xz

Now when I run clyde --stats, bleachbit is no longer listed as an unused package. The same is true if I do pacman -U on a manually built package from the AUR.

Here's what I also noticed. If I do the above manual method (tarball, makepkg, clyde -U), but then I install the same thing with clyde -S bleachbit, it will once again tell me that bleachbit is an unused package!

This happens to any package I install from the AUR with -S with clyde. I tried the same test on faenza-icon-theme and elementary-icons from the AUR.

Re: Clyde - A better libalpm/makepkg wrapper

So which package needs bleachbit? From the pacman manpage

       -D, --database
           Modify the package database. This options allows you to modify certain attributes of the installed
           packages in pacman’s database. At the moment, you can only change the install reason using --asdeps and
           --asexplicit options.

Re: Clyde - A better libalpm/makepkg wrapper

The problem is that the install reason should be "Explicitly installed" but its not. Installing nd-git (AUR) using clyde I get:

Install Reason : Installed as a dependency for another package

Installing the same package using packer I get:

Install Reason : Explicitly installed
