New pacman - NoUpgrade obsolete?

I noticed some time ago that there was a new version of pacman, and I'm glad to see it in the repos today.
One of the new features is that by default, pacman will keep your modified config file, and save the new config as a .pacnew, which i'm sure will please many, many people (it's one of the biggest complaints I hear about pacman, although things have been quiet for some time).
Anyway, I installed it, and noticed the new pacman.conf still has NoUpgrade lines. The default behaviour now is basically NoUpgrade, so I'm wondering if this is now obsolete.
While I defended pacman's behaviour--overwrite user-modified config with a new one--to the death, I'm still glad to see this change. In a majority of cases, it makes system maintenance simpler.

NoUpgrade is still working.
If you have some config file, that you never modified (you just leaved default config), and you don't want it to be upgraded by Pacman automatically due to changes in package's default config - you may use NoUpgrade in this case (who knows, maybe package's new default config file will have some changes that can affect security and you are very paranoid sysadmin ).
I think it is safe to remove all NoUpgade options from default pacman.conf.
If user changes some of the files listed there then they will be not overwritten by Pacman 2.9.8+ anymore.
If user didn't make any changes in those files then new versions of those files will most likely be the same or just slightly modified, so all will be working fine.
When I was upgrading my system with the new Pacman I noticed that rc.local was not upgraded but rc.local.pacnew was made. But I've never modified my rc.local (as far as I remember). And sometimes there was no changes in th default rc.conf from initscripts, but rc.conf.pacnew was always created. So I removed rc.local and rc.conf from NoUpgrade and now pacman does not create useless rc.local.pacnew on each initscripts upgrade and does not create rc.conf.pacnew when the default rc.conf was not changed.
Then I removed my quite large NoUpgrade list completely. And since that time Pacman hasn't done any mistake. It upgrades only untouched config files and saves .pacnew for config files that received some changes in defaults (like the latest changes of mkinitrd.conf and Apache's config files). I like this behaviour very, very much. It is much easier for me to upgrade all my 5 systems now (4 of them are on VMware, one in my second company, and very soon there will be one at home). 8)
I even say - all NoUpgrade options should be removed from user's pacman.conf if he/she does not wants to have .pacnew when there is no need for them.
I was one of those who wanted this new change in Pacman for a long time. There was few long discussions on bugs.archlinux.org, and finally the change was made! Many thanks to Pacman developers!

New pacman version

Not sure who the pacman dev(s) is, but I just wanted to say thanks for the development of a great application. The new version with the total size (on -Su), it something that never really occurred to me, but now that its there, I _really_ appreciate it. Just wanted to say keep up the good work.

Payment process in R12 - New Tables and Obsolete Tables

I Need to know more about the process of Payment process in R12, that which tables are involved in Payments Process R12. I understand that AP_SELECTED_INVOICE_CHECKS_ALL is obsolete,but, I would like to know the tables populated in each step of the process and which tables are new. I see that my field check_number is null also. Please help me that I am not find information.
Thanks,

Hi,
I do not think such a document is available for public access (i.e. a document that shows the payment process cycle in details from the backend). However, you may log a SR and see if Oracle support can help.
I believe you have already checked [Oracle Payables - R12|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B40089_09/current/html/docset.html] documentation.

Big mistake installing new pacman rc!! Please help [FIXED}

Hi,
I downloaded the new release caididate of pacman 3 ( http://www.archlinux.org/~dan/pacman/pa … pkg.tar.gz ).
It appears that it doesn't like Arch64. (pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libarchive.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64)
So, I obviously need to remove it and re-install the old pacman. Can anyone advise a course of action. Pacman is so critical a tool to Arch I'd really like to get it right.
Thanks,
Jim

For the record, the actual name of that file is:
pacman-3.0.0-rc2-i686.pkg.tar.gz
Please take note of the -i686 at the end there. That package was not built for -x86_64.
However, I think this one was:
http://archlinux.org/~ganja_guru/pacman … pkg.tar.gz
(though it appears not to be built with the new makepkg which adds the -ARCH on there)

[SOLVED] custom repo e new pacman

I just updated pacman, and I noticed that when syncing the repos the progress bar for my local repo isn't displayed anymore as well as the "repo is up to date" message when no new version is detected.
Anyway, the local repo is updated just fine, since I can install the new packages added. Something is changed maybe in the config file syntax? I couldn't find anything.

Yeah, different bug. There is a patch in the git repo if you really can't wait for the fix: http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=pacman … h=4476598e

Pacman-defrag [obsolete - use pacman-optimize]

After dp's discovery of a simple way to speed up pacman which can be found here I've come up with this little program. It should be pretty safe because it checks for a running instance of pacman before executing and locks pacman (2>/tmp/pacman.lck) during use so it won't corrupt files. I threw in the other options because I thought they might be usefull. A log will be created as needed in the /var/log directory as pacman-defrag.log.
Move the file into /usr/bin/ , chown it root, and chmod 755.
file and sums can also be found here

After reboot it's still improved.
To start with, your pacman db is going to be around a similar spot on the hard drive. but over time as it changes, packages come and go and whatever, it gradually gets spread across the hard drive, with latter things ending up as far as the other end of the hard drive.
this causes the hard drive's head to have to whip back and forth between platters and all around the place.
the idea of this, is that it makes a copy, which is generally all together, or close together, so then the hard drives head doesnt have to go nuts everywhere, and it does make a difference

Hi accidentally overwrote new pacman.conf with /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew

Hi
I accidentally overwrote etc/pacman.conf with the old /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew.
Pacman now appears to work but disregards the signing of packages.
Is there an copy of the pacman.conf from the upgrade around so I can merge
the two files. perhaps pacman.conf~, but no I think this is overwritten too.

New syntaxes for Obsolete ones

Can anyone tell me the new syntaxes for these-
1) Using 'occurs' for creating an internal table is obsolete now.
2) Move statement is obsolete. For a unicode upgrade what is the solution for these?

Edited by: Vijay Babu Dudla on Jan 15, 2009 4:28 AM

Hai,
TYPes: begin of ty_tab,
f1 type element,
f2 type element2,
end of ty_tab.
types: ty_it_tab type table of ty_tab.
data: it_table type ty_it_tab.
data: wa type ty_tab.
Use explicit work areas for the internal tables. you can also use field-symbols if required.

Java Technology:, demographics, new, active, abandoned, obsoleted?

Hi Folks,
I am trying to get a handle on where the Java community is going in regards to the plethora of java technologies currently available. Of the 10+ years that java has been around - has any of the technologies available today been obsoleted or just not in favorable use in lieu of better or replaced technologies in use today?
Yes, I know there is a LOT of different technologies available but what I am trying to do is to make a list of technolgies to focus on, the ones that are really being used by the Java community today.
For example - Where is the Jini community going? What about all the supporting things that go with Jini - from services as: Reggie, Mahalo, Phoenix, Fiddler, Norm, Mercury, Outrigger, Browser, and HTTP daemon and is anyone actually using all of these services? I note there is a link for this technology: www.jini.org - and leads me to believe this is a breakaway (spinoff?) from Sun's site? This is just an example technology to make a point.
Is there any place to go to (link) that will at least list all of the Java technolgies available today and to show what technolgies are abaondoned, still active, and perhaps a demographics showing interest and active use by the Java community, a roadmap?
Kind regards,
Dan

Can't install anything after new Pacman install.

I'm installing Arch on a computer at work. I used the install cd. Booted up fine. Ran a
pacman -Syu
updated pacman, ran pacman -Sc then updated the mirrorlist file as I like for the servers. Then ran
pacman -Syu
again to update the packages.
Now if I try a
pacman -S xorg
it will download everything but a few files. Why? I can't get it to install gnome either (downloads everything but 3 or 4 files). Says bad md5sum and doesn't even begin to download the package. Then it asks if I want to delete the package.
Also I'm trying to install firefox3 so I ran
pacman -Sy firefox3
and I get
"error: 'firefox3': not found in sync db"
I downloaded the tar.bz2, unzipped it into ~/abs/local/firefox then tried to go into the directory and run
./configure
but gives me an unrecognized command.
Also if I run pacman -Syu on my laptop, same thing, downloads all files except a few. It never fully completes.
Any help solving my problem would be great! I have internet connectivity at both places.

Still a no go. It will download all the packages, but then checks for package integrity.

[SOLVED] Question about new pacman upgrade

The release notes ay that "Installing package with -U is now smart like -S — dependencies and conflicts are now handled"
So, if I am understanding this correctly... when I am installing something from the AUR, I only need "makepkg -i", instead of "makepkg -si"?
Last edited by dfetter88 (2010-06-23 11:38:37)

No, you will still need to install dependencies to build a package. But if you used "makepkg -sr" to make sure you have removed the unneeded makedepends, then you can use "pacman -U <pkg>" to get the runtime depends back.

[ok] pacman 4 double downloading

hi everyone
first thing: great work with new pacman!
unfortunaley mine isn't working perfect.
it downloads my packages twice.

pacman has a pretty good localization coverage so if English is not your mother tongue you can use pacman in your native language.

[SOLVED] Pacman errors/weirdness

Hi, I recently installed Arch Linux on my PC. I have had experience with the Arch Linux distribution before so I roughly knew what I was doing. When I sucessfully installed Arch Linux I logged on and setup my wireless connection. After that I updated my system with:
pacman -Syu
It told me that there was an update for Pacman, but I wanted to update my system first of all so I skipped it. It installed during the package update process anyway. When it installed the new pacman version it created a new "mirrorlist" file as "mirrorlist.pacorig", so I deleted the old one and renamed the new one. But it seems to be having some bother, it is going really slow (probably nothing to do with the "mirrorlist" file) and it is detecting that I have a newer version of some packages than in the repositories. Why is this?
I apoligise if this is just a small error on my end but it was really fast before this update and functioning really well.
EDIT: I will reinstall my system just incase I have done something wrong somewhere.

There's nothing wrong. You need to comment out, or move ftp.archlinux.org to the bottom of the list. It's heavily throttled so people don't use it as their primary server. Unfortunately, there really isn't a good way to have a default server list. So, find mirrors close to where you live, move them up to the top of the list, move archlinux way down or off of the list, and everything will be fine.

Bash-completion upgrade conflicts with pacman

pacman warned me that /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/makepkg would be overwritten.
pacman -Oo said then that it's part of bash-completion 1.99-1, but there's already bash-completion 1.99-2 that hasn't any more included that file cause now as it seems, the file move into the new pacman package.
https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … 50dbc12ba0
So following process to not corrupt anything:
1) Move the file out of the way:
# mv /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/makepkg /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/makepkg.bak
2) Upgrade pacman
# pacman -S pacman
3) Upgrade bash-completion (this step will remove the file)
# pacman -S bash-completion
4) Reinstall pacman again, to not loose the file.
# pacman -S pacman
5) Now, you can remove the backup.
# rm -f /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/makepkg.bak

Did you source it or logout/login? It doesn't magically do that itself.

both, i reload it with source ~/.bashrc and later i logged out/in

Bash completion upgrade breaks pacman bc

hello,
today's bash completion upgrade deletes the archlinux file under /etc/bash_completion.d/.
pacman's bash completion doesn't work anymore. i've seen that pacman 3.1 has it's own bash completion file.
is this somehow related?

ps: i'm not using testing.
