Re: Pacnet - Gentoo like categories in Arch Linux!

This is pretty cool indeed.

Anyway, I think I just spotted a misplaced item: http://pacnet.karbownicki.com/package/lxmenu-data/
I don't think the lxmenu-data package belongs to the games-rpg category.

Re: Pacnet - Gentoo like categories in Arch Linux!

"If you noticed, that some of packages are in the wrong category, feel free to change it. Packages were categorized by script that searched for each package on gentoo-portage.com website, so there could be some mistakes due to names incompatibility between Arch Linux and Gentoo."

Oops, I guess I should be doing some more reading before jumping to conclusions tongue

Sorry, I have no experience in PyGTK ;-P Maybe someone can do it better.

Indeed. It's a nice site, but wouldn't it have been better to put (less) effort into implementing categories at the libalpm level? It just seems like a roundabout way of getting this functionality.

Re: Pacnet - Gentoo like categories in Arch Linux!

For those who would like to see CLI frontend, I wrote a simple one in perl, available here: http://github.com/tadzik/pacnet/tree/master. It requires perl-json-xs to work. Any creative criticism welcomed : )

Re: Pacnet - Gentoo like categories in Arch Linux!

Yeah, I too like how Gentoo categorizes packages.  Maintainers put a lot of thought of how to do so.  I wouldn't mind seeing such categorizations done in Arch too.

Re: Pacnet - Gentoo like categories in Arch Linux!

My CLI client is now on AUR, thanks to sirmacik. I reviewed the code a bit, and basing on the fact that mostly the ex-Gentoo users miss the categorization, I tuned the interface to be more eix-like. You can search packages with

pacnet games-strategy/
pacnet wesnoth
pacnet 'sdl$' # yep, a regexp

and get the results you want.
Feature requests and constructive criticism welcome.

Feature request for pacman that suppor categories https://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?do … k_id=29479

I LIKE this idea, make the hard job of search w no know the name more easy

Re: Pacnet - Gentoo like categories in Arch Linux!

Could you sync pacnet with new additions and deletion of packages? It look like this was last done in 2012.

I am using it to provide categories in a prototype of a community metadata database for packages. (See more in this thread.)

Sorry, I had a break but my update script still works ^.^

Still TODO: sync pacnet categories with Gentoo Portage categories (i.e. add android-libs etc.)
