Install all packages from a given repository?

Is there a way to install every package from a given repository? For example, say I wanted to install every package from core (or at least every non-conflicting package, since systemd-sysvcompat is an issue)? I thought maybe something like '# pacman -S core' might do it, but it didn't.
Back when AIF was still around, I could do this by checking everything at install time, but now it's a multi-step process to collect all the packages and then install them.

For me, I found I was using most of what was in [core] and it was easier for me to just install everything in it than to weed out the handful that I didn't need. Yes, I know there are _that_ many packages in [core], I'm just _that_ lazy.
In another scenario, I could see someone wanting to have an uber-system with absolutely everything possible and available installed. I used to do this a few years back with distros like Fedora where I would do a complete install.

  • Display packages from category X, repository Y on commandline

    Yesterday I set up my first arch system. After fiddling around with the boot disks I managed to install via PXE. After I had it working there were no problems with the installation at all. I installed only the base system as suggested by the installer. Now the question: How can I display the packages from category X, repository Y on commandline, for instance all Editors in repository Current.
    The command
    pacman -S -g
    only shows a subset, like xfce4, gimp. Or do I misunderstand anything?
    Cheers
    Dennis
    EDIT
    Because of confusion I edited my question to make it clearer what I like to do.

    There are no real categories in the repository.. just repositories.
    To search for keywords on packages, use
    $ pacman -Ss searchterm
    for example..
    $ pacman -Ss term
    would bring up things like aterm, rxvt, gnome-terminal..etc.
    the groups (-g) are for installing collections of packages. think of the things in -g as meta-packages...
    Like installing all of gnome in one command..
    $ pacman -Sg
    What is in the gnome meta package?
    $ pacman -Sg gnome
    gnome
    control-center epiphany gnome-applets gnome-backgrounds gnome-common
    gnome-desktop gnome-icon-theme gnome-media gnome-mime-data gnome-mount
    gnome-panel gnome-session gnome-themes gnome2-user-docs metacity nautilus
    yelp

  • Install single package from testing

    I just switched to Arch from Gentoo, and so far it's been mostly great. What I want to do right now is install 1 package from testing, and only that one. Is there an easy way to do this, besides uncommenting the testing repo, installing xorg-server, and commenting testing again? Basically (if you're familiar with Gentoo and emerge), I want to know what pacman's equivalent to /etc/portage/package.keywords is. Alternatively, if there's a way to make kde4 not absurdly slow with a relatively new ultra-low-end nvidia card (9300m), then I'm up for that as well. Additional background for this question is that I was hoping the newest (beta) drivers might alleviate this issue, but they depend on an xorg-server version that only exists in testing. I don't want to run testing, but if the new drivers help, then I'd be willing to run them (along with any reasonable, if unstable, dependencies). Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the forums.
    If you upgrade only xorg-server, you're going to have problems. There are other packages designed to be used with it.
    With that being said, you can always put testing as the last repo in /etc/pacman.conf. Then if you want to upgrade one package, you explicitly call it with pacman -S testing/<package_name>.

  • How to install a package from a disc

    i have the file     sudo-1.7.2p3.tar    on a disk and i need to know how to install a package from a cd, what lines do i need to type to install it?:|

    If you are running as root, you can execute that command as ../../b43-fwcutter-011/b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" wl_apsta.o and there is no need for sudo.
    Btw, what wireless card is this? Have you tried searching for a pacman package for it?
    To access the cd drive, use the mount command. Enter man mount to read the manual. (I assume you do not have a graphical environment set up yet.)

  • Md5 checksums of all packages from the specified directory

    How to check md5 checksums of all packages from the specified directory with pacman?

    karol wrote:It's 4.30 AM, the sun comes up and I'm going to bed.
    Hmmm, the blue sky and violet-pink clouds remind me of Arch homepage ;P
    Hehe, it's a nice feeling, nevertheless.
    @dkorzhevin: here's a script I've made when I needed this:
    #!/bin/bash
    echo -n "" > pkgNotFound
    echo -n "" > pkgSums
    names=`pacman -Slq`
    for name in $names
    do
    versionLine=`pacman -Si $name | grep "Version : "`
    version=`echo -n $versionLine | sed -e 's/Version : //g'`
    md5Line=`pacman -Si $name | grep "MD5 Sum : "`
    md5=`echo -n $md5Line | sed -e 's/MD5 Sum : //g'`
    pkgPath=`find /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ -name $name"-"$version"*"`
    if [ "$pkgPath" = "" ]
    then
    echo "Error: "$name" package not found in cache." >> pkgNotFound
    else
    echo $md5" "$pkgPath >> pkgSums
    fi
    done
    exit 0
    So your output will be located in the file "pkgSums" and it will look like this, these are the checksums that pacman displays, and the paths of your local packages:
    4ce0d40359bfa1a4a0f47a0e53e65fa5 /var/cache/pacman/pkg/acl-2.2.49-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
    24df396b3146d1a203e0d4f4d6edd67b /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ar9170-fw-1.0-2-any.pkg.tar.gz
    8454e0fc947f9c8ce4ac5c39ed6ef165 /var/cache/pacman/pkg/attr-2.4.44-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
    9ef6b0ce43a4660170df21ead2f8e711 /var/cache/pacman/pkg/autoconf-2.65-2-any.pkg.tar.xz
    505fe675565601f6ca803779601837cf /var/cache/pacman/pkg/automake-1.11.1-1-any.pkg.tar.gz
    To check the checksums against the packages, just run md5 with the newly created file, if you get output then something stinks :
    # md5sum -c --quiet pkgSums
    There's another file "pkgNotFound" for the packages which are found in pacman but not on your disk. So make sure you don't have these two files already, in the current directory, containing important information - they will be overwritten.

  • Install some packages from [testing] repository

    Hello Guys,
    Could you suggest me how can I install and update from time to time only several packages from testing but not all of that repository?

    There are completely valid scenarii where you can use only few packages from testing (see above, the linux kernel for example).

Or should we, from now on, consider our fellow users as all dumb in opposition to competent linux users [1] as it has always been ?

    It is NOT safe to assume that ALL readers are competent. Just browse through the forums every once in a while. Hence care should be taken in giving advise.
    This is not a private club, things posted here are read by many competent Arch users and some incompetent as well. Results show up in a Google search.

    Thx

    You can use your browser and click the RPM's one at a time :)
    Or you can use Firefox and get the DownThemAll! extention and use that.
    Common methods like:
    $ wget -r -np http://public-yum.oracle.com/fail because of the {font:Courier}robots.txt{font} file put there for this very purpose.

  • Quick Q: Installing all packages?

    Quick question really.  For the main installation, do you guys install all base/lib/support and extra or just the base and a few other selected ones and does installing them all make any real world difference?

    I only install base, no special reason actually. If your internet is slow, it'll be quicker to install some packages you need from the CD, afaik that's the only difference.

  • Install a package from Solaris 10 cd

    Hello,
    I accidentaly removed a package (namely SUNWgcc) from the system. I have the Solaris 10 CDs. Is it possible to install this package for the CD? I check the CD and it looks like SUNWgcc on it is not a package that I can install with pkgadd -d.
    Thank You,
    PN.

    This does not seem to work from the Solaris 10 CD 1 -
    the CD directory structure is different.
    Specifically I am trying to install SUNWmfrun which
    is in the /cdrom/tmp/root/var/sadm/pkg directory.Don't go there.
    Stay in the Product directories on the CDs. You'll find the package there.
    However this directory doesn't have a pkgmap file in
    it so running the pkgadd command fails. No, that's not a package. /var/sadm/pkg contains information about the package database, so some of the files and directories there have the same name as packages (but they're not packages).
    Further investigation shows another directory,
    /cdrom/tmp/root/var/sadm/pkg/SUNWmfrun/save/pspool/SUN
    Wmfrun which does have that file, but running pkgadd
    against that directory fails completely.Still not a package.
    How can I use pkgadd to add packages from the first
    CD in the Solaris 10 installation?The packages are in the 'Product' directory.
    Your paths seem odd. You have a normally booted host and you're just inserting the CD? What are the contents of /cdrom?

  • Remove package from local IPS repository

    I published a custom package to my local IPS repository, but I would like to remove it. Obviously you can use pkgsend to add to the repository, but I can't seem to find any option to remove packages.
    anyone had luck with this? is it even possible?

    That functionality is not present in Solaris 11 Express. A kludgey way to do it, though, is to remove the package from the repository's pkg directory, then rebuild the catalog. However, the files belonging to the package will still be around in the files directory. They just won't be accessible.

  • Error Installing with Package from CCP

    Hi,
    Apologies if there's a CCP board; I didn't see it in the menu.
    I used Creative Cloud Packager to make a package of apps for Mac.
    Installing the package using Apple Remote Desktop returns ".. could not be installed.  Error message: "Running package scripts...""
    When I run it locally on any machine (10.6 or 10.9), it responds with this error:
    The installation progress slows to a crawl about 3/4 of the way through "Running package scripts..." then after a few minutes returns "The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail.  Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
    Nothing relevant seems to appear in the console log.
    Anyone have any ideas?

  • Problem installing a package from AUR

    No way this single game is over 9.5 gigs.
    I'm not even seeing where it's trying to install to.
    Is this a problem with the package build or am I not seeing something?
