Official packages "required by" search for AUR packages

I often want to see which aur packages depend on a given official package.
e.g. recently to see that qt5-webengine is being used by something (qupzilla-git),
but most often to see if I might later regret updating to a git version
because there are interesting packages that depend on released versions.
My current understanding is that to do this I would have to clone http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/
and then grep -r pkgname.
Does anyone have a better way?

AUR is pretty big.
http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/ … ter.tar.xz is 120 MB but it decompresses into 1.2 GB on disk. I'd recommend using an efficient searching method unless you want to wait ... and wait ... and wait. And then you run out of memory ;P
AUR 4.0 is git-based, so maybe they'll include something like this. Ask on the ML, if you want.
AUR packages that depend on qt5-webengine:
j8-git
qupzilla-git
mist
The snapshot has 70k package directories, 15k more than the current AUR, so you get some false positives when grepping (i.e. packages that aren't available anymore).

Searching for AUR packages with "%" queries

According to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR#Searching it is possible to use mysql LIKE queries to search for a package. But I can't find packages if I use queries with "%".
For example, when I try to search for firefox%spell or firefox%spell%, I get nothing.
I expected those queries would return the same results as firefox-spell.
The question is: do LIKE queries work (or do I use them wrong)?

Combined search for AUR and repos

I would like to set up a meta search engine that searches the repos as well as AUR for a particular package or PKGBUILD.
Does something like that exist already?
Are there APIs to those two search engines?

yaourt does this already, I believe some other tools also do. I don't know what APIs they use; when I wrote aurbuild v0.0001 it used web scraping to get info from the AUR; I don't know what utility is used now.

Requirements Gateway - Searching for requirements in table rows in a Adobe PDF file

In my quest for creating a good understanding of the coverage of requirements of my test cases I download the NIRG (NI Requirements Gateway) and started out importing my SRS (System Requirement Specifications) documents and some of the test cases. There are many different types of sources which can be imported (Word, Excel, Visio, Access, PDF, ...) and NIRG uses REGEX (Regular Expressions) for extracting the requirement and coverage information of the sources. NI have defined some standardized REGEX formats but they (NI) have also made it possible for tweaking these to fit your purpose.
Instead of adding/changing the SRS documents to fit these standardized REGEX formats, I dived into how to create REGEX for my purpose.

Is there anyone who have any experience on using NIRG on a PDF document to get information from the rows in a table?

Hi Manooch_H,
Here is the example document and thank you for taking the time and helping me out .
The columns which I would like to import into NIRG are actually all of them. The UC, Verification, Priority and Responsible columns should be imported as attributes to the requirement. The ID and Requirement columns should be imported as the Requirement and Text respectivaly.
Best regards,
Marcus

Search for records by Remote Key or Remote System in Data Manager

Hi all,
We have a requirement to search for records by Remote key and/or Remote System at the main table level. Is it possible to do this using the Data Manager? If so, how?
Thanks in advance!
Lavanya.

Hi,
I crosschecked with MDM 5.5 and Don't think it is possible through Data Manager. How ever using APIs you can search records using remote key/ remote system.

Searching for tasks based on Responsible Resource

Hi All,
I am having a requirement to search for all the tasks within cProjects based on the Responsible Resource field in cProjects. I am planning to design a custom Webdynpro application for this purpose. The requirement is that when i enter the user name of a person the entire list of tasks for which that user is the responsible resource is to be displayed.
Can anyone tell the related tables for this purpose? i want to know which table contains the Responsible Resource field. Also, i would like to know which tables are related to this functionality. If anyone can give me an idea to get me started, that would be great.
Best Regards,
Mazin

Hi Mahmood,
You've probably already figured this out, but you might want to look into DPR_ENTITY_LINK.This table lists role assignments to task. The fields that would be of interest to you are the following:
- Entity_GUID = Task GUID (system value)
- Participant_GUID (system value)
- Responsible (boolean) - part-guid is "responsible role"
- Concrete (boolean) - part-guid has "resource' (concrete role)
- Entity Type (of structure item)
Note, though, that this table will not have entries if there are no role assignments in your tasks. Since you're trying to identify responsible resources (concrete role), this won't be an issue when querying the table.
Good luck.

API to search for PIM items

Is there any API to search for an item in PIM. I have a requirement to search for item by Inventory Org, routing class, operation class and resource.
thank
satya

Satya,
I am not sure or aware of any API. This should be falling under the catalog functionality.
But the functionality does exist in the front end in the PIM application (resp Product Information Management Data Librarian) there is a functionality of item search (you know that probably). You can explore the OAF pages and related VOs or implementations of that page.
Thanks

Upgrading certain AUR packages when specific official packages change

I'm having some trouble with updating. As many Archers, I use some packages from AUR. In my case, I'm using bauerbill specifically to update packages from AUR just like I would with pacman. Quite convenient (thx, xyne!)
But I have some packages that need to be rebuild from AUR when certain official packages are updated, e.g. compiling thinkhdaps against the new kernel version, or updating Lightning and Enigmail from AUR when I update my Thunderbird. However, so far I have not yet found a way to do this: calling specific commands when certain packages are changed.
Is there any way to do this in pacman or one of the other arch package managers? Or do you have a clue about how to write a script that could do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

But I think that seems to be a problem as you wouldn't know which applications to keep watching since some might need to be re-built, and others might not.
I guess watching every package installed outside of pacman (pacman -Qm) would be the only way to see which AUR package needs to be re-built. Depending on how many packages you have installed from AUR or external sources, this could be very fast to extremely slow.

Package search for multiple word string?

Ok, im feeling really dumb, but how do I search for packages using multiple words in a single string? For example if I do the command "pacman -Ss session manager" it will return a huge list of all packages with the word session and all packages with the word manager, but what i really want to see is the smaller list of only the packages that contain the entire exact string session manager.

For me yaourt does the trick if you use ezzetabi's example ('session.*manager'). However, for 'session manager' only it doesn't.
You could try packer (in AUR). I just tried all three of them and packer seems to also look for the two words together only if you use '... ...' only.

I have Adobe Reader XI with the package that allows me to send pdfs and convert pdfs to Word. When I open a pdf and try to search the search shows no matches even though the word I am searching for is in the document. Any suggestions how to search?

Once again, my thanks for your assistance. If I may impose on your generosity one more time, if I understand you correctly if I create a document on Word or WordPerfect, print it and scan it to create a pdf, the search function will not work. But, if I create the pdf document in Word the search function will work. Unfortunately, I am not sure how I create a pdf document in Word other than by printing it and scanning it. Could you please explain.

[SOLVED]Weird conflict with official packages and aur packages

Hi. I have enchant-zemberek installed on my system. It is my package that i'm maintaining at AUR. Yesterday i tried to install poedit which depends on enchant. Weirdly altoguh enchant-zemberek provides enchant; pacman tried to remove enchant-zemberek and instead install enchant. Otherwise it won't let me install poedit. I have updated enchant-zemberek PKGBUILD and pacman let me install poedit without forcing me to install enchant. Here is what i have in my first PKGBUILD before update:
replaces=("enchant")
provides=("enchant")
conflicts=('enchant')
And after updating;
replaces=("enchant=${pkgver}")
provides=("enchant=${pkgver}")
conflicts=('enchant')
Now, i'm wondering while an AUR package have different package name than the official one why pacman tries to replace it? Why PKGBUILD needs package version in provides tag? Say, if i want to keep my own my-abc-1.0-1.i686.pkg.tar.xz but official package abc-1.1-1.i686.pkg.tar.xz released; must i keep my package only in Ignores array? Should i report this as a bug?
Last edited by tarakbumba (2011-04-07 09:52:41)

No, its not a bug. poedit depends on gtkspell which depends on enchant>=1.5.0 - your original custom enchant package did not provide any specific version of enchant, so pacman pulled in the repo package instead to satisfy the versioned dependency. As you have built your package with replaces=enchant, pacman also honours that.

Easiest way to search for a keyword in over 100 dts packages on a complex SQL 2000 server

Hi,
Can anyone tell me the easiest way to search for a keyword (e.g. myfilename.txt) in over 100 dts packages on a complex SQL 2000 server please. I've searched the internet for a solution, and there seem to be various third party tools available, etc. However
ideally I would like to be able to run a block of code which returns the result within query analyser, since this SQL 2000 server is a production server and I'd rather not have to go through change management for investigation purposes.
Kind Regards,
Kieran.
