Package Manager for AUR

With Chakra you can install the CCR ( the same as AUR) packages with Package Manager. We should be pleased if this is possible with Arch.

Please, don't forget to mark the thread [SOLVED].
P.S.: Make friends with Arch Wiki and forum search button: they are really a great source of information.

Support Package Manager for EBPCRM

Hi,
In CRM/EBP SAP systems there is used special 'Support Package Manager for EBPCRM' to implement Support Packages instead of standard transactions like SPAM/SAINT.
I'm trying to implement more then one Support Package into the system however this is probably not possible. It seems that it is not possible to create import queue with more then one Support Package? Importing SPs one by one is very time consuming task. SO that's why I'm wondering about this special tool.
Do you have similar functionality?

Hi Jose,
Yes I've put all the SPs into '\usr\sap\trans\Eps\in'. But 'Support Package Manager for EBPCRM' asks me for particular one while I'm going to import it. There is no such an functionality to use queue creation.
BTW: I'm on SAP CRM 4.0 on WIN/MSSQL platform.

Package Management for CodeExchange ABAP projects

Hi CodeExchange ABAP Contributors,
according to the size of ABAP in the [https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/codex/projects|CodeExchange Project Directory Tag cloud] most of the Projects are ABAP based. Some of them like Twibap, ABAP JSON and ABAP OAuth depend on each other. That is also the case if you want to install packages using [SAPLink|http://code.google.com/p/saplink/], then you need in the most of the cases some [Plugin|http://code.google.com/p/saplink/wiki/pluginList] installed. That can be sometimes very cumbersome.
As a user of Perl, PHP and Ruby I was using their package management systems like CPAN, Pear and Gems. They provide an easy command line interface to install and update packages. In addition they take care about dependencies.
I think it's time to start working on a Package Management for CodeExchange ABAP projects. Let's call it ABAP Package Management (APM). SAPLink providing the container to exchange the package and ZAKE to handle the download and install can be a good starting point.
Let's discuss the problem space here and perhaps we also can involve someone who has perhaps already some experience in building a package management system.
Best regards
Gregor

Hi,
an XML file to be included into the nugg that describes dependencies on a base of Plugin ID, Plugin Name and Version should be enough.
The XML should be managed by SAPLink, the hard job is to automatically download and install the plugins.
How to login to CodExch?
How to download the certified version of the plugin? A project can delete an old version nugg.
As you said we need a central instance were the plugin version are versioned and identified univocally.
Indeed we need a page in code exchange or a tool in release page in order to register the current file as versioned.
Regards,
Ivan

Package management for your home

Hello,
I'm working (as a user) on a network which is built on a kind of elderly OpenSuse. Since some packages I need/want are missing, some are outdated I've compiled and installed some in my $home. Though it works, it's a hassle to maintain.
I''m looking for some kind of distribution like system which allows installing and managing packages in your $home. When I install a package it checks if the dependencies are there and compiles/installs the necessary packages.
Is there something like that out there?
(it's not Arch related, but I use Arch on my home desktop, that's why I ask here)

I had been asking myself the very same question about half a year ago and tried several options, three of which I remember:
– HAI (Home Arch Install), which promised/promises to be awesome, but I could not get it to work at the time.
– Gentoo Prefix, a way to install a full Gentoo Linux directory structure into your home (read: lots of diskspace, lots of compilation time needed), except for the kernel. You can start the Gentoo environment by a start_gentoo_prefix (or something like that) script and install applications with portage/emerge.
→ This is what I ended up doing.
– Rootless Gobolinux is supposed to do the same thing for Gobolinux. I could not get it to work, though.
EDIT: I just learned about Toast, which appears to be pretty awesome. I am going to try it out soon.

Package Management for Pleasure and Profit

I know that abs can make packages using svn/git/etc to be installed by pacman, but will pacman auto-magically update these svn packages when it's installing updates from the "normal" arch repos, or is that something I would still have to do myself?

alxandrite - I appreciate the originality in your chosen title for this thread, but for future reference, it's recommended that the title summarises the issue under discussion.

Package Management for Tiger

This there anything like RPM or pkgadd in OS X. I am asking becasue I added a custom pkg and now I would like to remove it but can not find an uninstall of pkgrm option.

I'm afraid that you'll just have to manually remove whatever you installed, including anything associated with the thing you installed in your user's /Library/Preferences folder and in the /Library/Application Support folder.

How to remove files with package manager?

CanI remove file with package manager
For example if there is a file /apps/cq/ui/widgets/source/widgets/form/RichText.js in Author Instance A, then I delete RichText.js file using crxde. Then I create a package remove_richtextjs.zip with filter /apps/cq/ui/widgets/source/widgets/form/
Then I open another instance Author Instance B, there is an exact same file /apps/cq/ui/widgets/source/widgets/form/RichText.js. Is it possible that if I apply remove_richtextjs.zip, an RichText.js will be removed from Author Instance B?
Thanks

You don't have to pay to remove files. Just drag them to the Trash and Empty the Trash.

[SOLVED] Seeking for advice at aur package managment.

Hello again.
I've been using arch for a little time but this far I like it more eveyday.
I've installed virtualbox PUEL from the AUR with makepkg and pacman -U. It's working fine.
But I want to install more software from the AUR. Actually, maybe I'll be installing lots of software from the AUR. My question is, since these software is installed "manualy", is there an easy way of keeping it up to date?
I've tried yaourt but I really don't like it very much. (Im not using sudo [maybe later] and it asked my root password 3 or 4 times and finally wasn't able to install anything; pacman works fine. Yaourt has no good documentation) I even created an AUR account to see if there was some way of getting notifications of updated packages to upgrade them manually. But this far, I haven't found any satistactory solution.
Edit: Also, I've seen that at least for virtualbox and yaourt, there are repos that can be added to pacman. Can I add a repo for each piece of software chosen from the AUR? Are there repos only for some "very used" software?
Thanks for your advice.

Actually, I think that with yaourt you could do the best update for all AUR-installed packages. yaourt -Syyu --aur --devel for example.

Try aurbuild as well

Except for [community] of course
I can think of two unofficial repos:
repo.archlinux.fr
[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/i686
or
[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/x86_64
and adslgr32/64
amd64
[adslgr64]
Server = http://adslgr64.tiven.org/archlinux/x86_64

Available APIs for process and package management

Hello All and welcome to my Hello All:
Welcome to my inaugural post. I am a complete noob to Solaris (although I have been using Linux for 5+ years) and am in the process of trying to get a handle on what local C/C++ APIs (if any) are available for management. Specifically, I am looking to find out about process and package management.
For process management, basically I would like to know is there some kind of interface to the the prstat application (ie. Memory and CPU utilization). Does something like this exist?
For package management, I am looking for the ability to add, remove, and query the package �database�. Correct me if I am wrong, but the Solaris package �database� seems similar to that of a Debian system (at least from the perspective that the informational files are stored as plain text in a well-defined directory [ie /var/sadm/pkg/]).
I have installed Solaris 10 on an x86 machine with a full installation; however, of the installed development kits (listed below) nothing jumped out at me.

Thanks.

For process management, basically I would like to
know is there some kind of interface to the the
prstat application (ie. Memory and CPU utilization).
Does something like this exist?Not prstat (although you could 'truss' it and see some of what it's doing to collect the information). kstat is available with a C interface and through perl/shell. It has several CPU fields. It's certainly useful for monitoring, but read-only. I'm not sure what you're looking for in terms of "management".
Also 'dtrace' can provide tons of dynamic information, but that's not necessarily what you're looking for.
For package management, I am looking for the ability
to add, remove, and query the package �database�.
Correct me if I am wrong, but the Solaris package
�database� seems similar to that of a Debian system
(at least from the perspective that the
informational files are stored as plain text in a
well-defined directory [ie /var/sadm/pkg/]).Yes, although it's based on the SysV packaging system. I don't believe there's any API for it outside of the 'pkg*' utilities.

Suggestion for new package management scheme

As was talked about in the INCOMING thread, Arch is growing and the devs are having trouble keeping up with maintaining packages. Arch is becoming disorganized and messy.
Well, Xentac and I were discussing this for a while, and we both seem to like a voting system. Arch shouldn't try to maintain every package out there, it's simply a waste of effort. If only one or two people want a package, they can build it themselves, it's not hard with ABS.
Arch devs should focus on keeping packages high quality, up to date, etc. They can't do this if there's 10,000 packages. So the solution would be that a package won't be included in the official repos (current, extra, unstable) unless it gets a certain number of votes, showing that lots of people really want the package, and it's "essential".
I don't know how many votes a package would need, but that's a little thing. I would suggest all packages in Extra/Unstable initially go up for this voting (once we implement it) and we make the vote quota be a little lower for this initial slimming, and that'll cut down the repos right there. All those packages that no one uses (that wont even get one vote) can be cut away. People can always vote them back if they become popular.
I don't want to have to do things like KDE, GNOME, etc myself, but I really don't mind maintaining my own little customizations, like Rhythmbox w/ XINE support (instead of Gstreamer). This vote system simply makes sure that a package is worth the developers time.
This goes with my idea of Arch as the perfect "Base" distro. People can build what they want on top of it.
This idea would also remove STAGING, as Arch wouldn't be accepting outside packages (though you're free to run your own repo or post PKGBUILDs on the forum). TESTING would be still used of course.
Suggestions?

I haven't really seen a single post in this thread that is without some merit, or at least an attempt at input.
The great thing about not being a larger distro is that the situation isn't as pressurized. Still, though, we (meaning the community AND developers) still obviously want Arch to be the best it can be and that's what this thread is about.
So...are any of the ideas mentioned here feasible? What do you think would be the best solution to creating a package release system that can handle Arch's current growth?
What about implementing a vote-based system for everything not in current? Would this be done with a web-based interface by using "submitrequest/vote" or something...obviously only registered users should be voting, right?
Anyway, I think a great job is being done and this thread is simply a positive indication of the vitality of the community. I think most of us fully recognize the resources of our developers and are simply wanting to find a way for them to bring us the best possible product. Arch rules!
I agree. I think what we should do is just take this time that we have while Arch is still young and not as well known among the Linux community, and try to make it great, relieving the pressures that we'd get a lot of later (not to say that we wouldn't get any, just less, hopefully).
As for the package setup, isn't there some way that we could write some system to do this? I had mentioned it before. And, I just came up with a small system. It would work like this:
We get one main server, whose "job" would be to create and store packages, and users could download from that server to install, etc. Now, whenever someone on the package management team finds an updated version of a package, they could log in to a special area of the site meant specifically for those developers. Then, using the special program on the website/server, they could link to the .tar or .bz2 that contains the source and submit it, along with the file's information that would be included with the package when you install it (file name, version, etc.) into the web-based form. Then, they click submit, and the server processes that file after downloading it, runs a makepkg-type thing on it, and stores the produced package in a "Fresh" repository. Then, the developer can download the file and opt to test it. If they're sure that it's okay, then they can replace the new file over the old one.
Just an idea, tell me what you think... :?

"manage nuget packages for solution" is missing in the drop down for NuGet Package Manager

Hi,
I have VS2013 Ultimate on windows 7 PC and that Nuget Option does show in the dropdown. Today, I setup a vm in Azure, from image I select VS2013 Ultimate, just like the one on my PC. However, when I click on the Tools, Nuget, there is only 2
drop down option, "package manager console" and "package manager settings" are the only 2 available. How can I get the ""manage nuget packages for solution"?
I want to install the xamarin.forms extension and I need this.
thank you
Thank you

Hi laJasmine,
Based on your issue, generally, I know that there have two ways to see the "manage nuget packages for solution" option after we install the VS2013 Ultimate.
One way is that it is default that we can see the "manage nuget packages for solution" option by right click this Solution->Manage NuGet Packages for Solution option like the following screen shot.
Another way is that we can see the "manage nuget packages for solution" option by clicking the Tools->Library Package Manager-> manage nuget packages for solution like the following screen shot.
So please check if you can get the "manage nuget packages for solution" option from this above two way again.
If you still could not the "manage nuget packages for solution" option in this VS2013 Ultimate, to check if this issue is related to the VS2013 Ultimate set up file. I suggest you could try to copy this setup file and then install it on other machine
and then check if you still get the issue.
If you have any updated message about this issue, please tell me.

Source of the Tarball for AUR Package Submissions?

When submiting a package to the AUR, are we supposed to submit the foo.pkg.tar.gz that makepkg creates in the directory, or do we tar up the entire /var/abs/local/foo/ directory ourselves and send that tarball?
The reason I ask is that when trying to sumbit the tarball created by makepkg directly, I kept receiveing the message "Error - No file uploaded". I am probably just misunderstanding the documentation, and it looks as though I need to tar up the entire directory, but can anyone set me straight so I can be sure?

Sorry for such the stupid question. I wrote that while I was at my windows machine at work and didn't have access to the abs directory to compare. The more I thought about it, the more it made sense to just include the PKGBUILD and not all of the other stuff created by makepkg. I had read that doc over a bunch of times, but never really picked up the obvious. Thanks Snowman...patience is a virture :-)
EDIT: Looking back through some of the documentation, I think where I got confused was from the wiki page ABS - the Arch Build System where it talks about "What is a package file?" in reference to the foo.pkg.tar.gz type file, and when submitting packages to the AUR, it prompts you to "Upload package file:" in reference to the plain old tarball with only the PKGBUILD, .install files, etc...

How can I Updating firefox for linux in package manager ?

Thank for reading my question.
I am a beginner off Linux. The computer sends almost all the time messages you have to update, it's to old. I have Linux from a package manager, but it is looks like everything is updated, must I change it? Firefox is sloooooow.
And gmail ask me to update. Updated manually Firefox have I done but never starts.
Is it a computer virus or something else?
What should I do?

It is possible that your Linux distribution is no longer updating Firefox.
In that case you can consider the download and install the full version of the current Firefox release.
You can find the full version of the current Firefox 33.0.1 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
*https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
Make sure that you meet the System Requirements (GTK+ and GLib) for the current Firefox version.

Local-repo ~ a local repository manager with AUR support

Hey people,
i want to announce the release of local-repo 1.6.2. I made it to easily build and manage my own repos with fancy features like:
caching & logging
config file support
AUR support - add & upgrade packages from the AUR
an ABS like PKGBUILD store
a buildlog store
package and database signing
localization
Maybe this is something for you, too.
Visit the projects website [1], if you want to know more about it.
The PKGBUILD is available in the AUR [2].
Much fun, ushi
[1] http://ushi.wurstcase.net/local-repo/
[2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=56876
Edit:
The first run should be something like this:
$ mkdir testrepo && local-repo testrepo -A vim-html5-git
This will create a new repo in the directory testrepo and add vim-html5-git from the AUR.

Awesome! Looks like what I need, let's see if I can get it to work.
