[pacman-dev] [translation] Pacman 3.5.2 string freeze
by Dan McGee 15 Apr '11

15 Apr '11

This is a message to all past/present/future translators that I'd like to do the pacman 3.5.2 release around the end of this week, so if you could take a look at the translations and get them up to date that would be great: https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/archlinux-pacman/r/3-5-2/ There are only a handful of new and/or changed strings (6 to 20 depending on the language and last update), so updating should be quick for most languages. There are also a handful of languages that have not seen an update in a bit, and would appreciate your help: Catalan, Danish, Portuguese, Slovak, Swedish, Ukrainian, and Norwegian Bokmål. To the German translator, as I got no feedback after the initial comment: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23575 Thanks everyone! Please direct your questions/comments to the pacman-dev ML or include me in any replies as I no longer receive arch-general mailing list posts. -Dan

[pacman-dev] pyalpm 0.4
by Rémy Oudompheng 15 Apr '11

15 Apr '11

Hello, I am pleased to announce that I tagged version 0.4 of pyalpm. Pyalpm is a personal project based on initial code by Imanol Celaya to deliver Python bindings for libalpm. It runs on Python 3.2 (the C library is probably compatible with Python 3.1) and currently wraps most of libalpm API from pacman 3.5. New features since version 0.2 include : * wrapping of transaction functions (allowing to install/upgrade/remove packages) * allowing most libalpm callbacks to be Python functions * pycman now supports almost all pacman options Pyalpm also includes a nearly full-featured rewrite of pacman in python, dubbed "pycman". The goals of "pycman" are multiple: * be identical in usage with pacman (except for the ugly output and user non-interaction) * ensure pyalpm wraps enough functions to be able to develop a package managing front-end on top of it * have a quicker overview of source code that replicates pacman's behaviour * help testing pyalpm with real world usage * demonstrate code snippets for basic usage of pyalpm * serve as a basis for quickly hacking a variant of pacman * provide a Python library that reads and applies settings from pacman.conf Pyalpm can be found at ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/pyalpm/pyalpm-0.4.tar.gz (when FTP site will be synchronized) and is meant to be compilable on other platforms than Archlinux, possibly with modifications to CPPFLAGS. A PKGBUILD is available on AUR for Archlinux users. Regards, Rémy.

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] makepkg.sh.in: fix a GNU-ism in su invocation

[pacman-dev] alpm_add_pkg() stealing ownership of allocated objects
by Rémy Oudompheng 13 Apr '11

13 Apr '11

Hello, While doing experiments, I discovered that alpm_add_pkg() seemingly stole the ownership of a pmpkg_t previously allocated by alpm_pkg_load(). I am a bit confused here. I think the documentation can definitely be improved here: can someone confirm the following statements? * a pmpkg_t* returned by alpm_pkg_load() must be freed by the caller unless otherwise specified * if alpm_add_pkg() is called on that package, then the caller MUST NOT free the pmpkg_t afterwards. Am I right? Are there any other functions with similar behaviour to alpm_add_pkg() ? Regards, Rémy.

[pacman-dev] [PATCH 0/4] Make gpgme optional
by Rémy Oudompheng 12 Apr '11

12 Apr '11

These patches (partially already submitted before) make linking with gpgme optional, and also implement a configuration option for pacman to use an external tool for signature checking. The given example is "gpg --verify - $filename", but "/bin/true" could be used to totally bypass checking. To apply on branch 'master', after the previously posted patch set. Rémy Oudompheng (4): handle: define a new callback for signature check signing: make gpgme optional and default to user callback pacman: add a configuration key for signature checking command pacman: implement signature check callback using an external command configure.ac | 19 ++++++++++- etc/pacman.conf.in | 1 + lib/libalpm/alpm.h | 12 +++++++ lib/libalpm/error.c | 2 + lib/libalpm/handle.c | 13 ++++++++ lib/libalpm/handle.h | 1 + lib/libalpm/signing.c | 33 +++++++++++++++++++-- lib/libalpm/signing.h | 2 +- lib/libalpm/sync.c | 6 ++- src/pacman/callback.c | 78 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/pacman/callback.h | 3 ++ src/pacman/conf.h | 1 + src/pacman/pacman.c | 4 ++ 13 files changed, 167 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) -- 1.7.4.4
