[SOLVED] Exclude a package from pacman database without uninstalling

Hi all,
I have heroes of newerth installed from AUR and I would like to detach this package from the database so it doesnt get updated when I use packer, the reason is because when an update occurs, I have to download the whole game again, and if I dont update the game prompts me to update when I login and I get only the patch (which results in a 2 minutes download instead of an hour download)
So what I want to do Is tell pacman or packer that this package should be tracked an updated anymore, how can I do that?
cheers and thanks for the help

This would probably be a more proper way than just deleting the files from /var/lib/pacman/local. Though it may be best to reinstall it outside of pacman like Karol suggested just to be sure nothing is inconsistant.
I didn't say it, Stebalien did ;P but I too think it would be the best choice.

[SOLVED] Building VCS packages from AUR fails

Hello,
Whenever I try to build a git or svn package from AUR, build fails with the error in a clean chroot enviroment:
==> ERROR: Unknown download protocol: svn
Aborting...
When the build starts, makepkg actually downloads source files properly. Any clues?

Trilby wrote:How many packages has this happened with? Can you give an example of one that produces this error? If the download proceeds when the build starts, it sounds like the PKGBUILD is outdated and is manually grabbing the source in the build function (in pacman<4.0 style).
I was building https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/uefi-shell-svn: a popular and up-to-date PKGBUILD.
Indeed I didn't merge the conf files of clean chroot. There was a makepkg.conf.pacnew, the lacking part in my old makepkg.conf was:
VCSCLIENTS=('bzr::bzr'
'git::git'
'hg::mercurial'
'svn::subversion')
and some small changes. Everything works fine now. Was my bad. Sorry for incovenience and thanks for your help.

How to get the value from a database without submitting a jsp page

I have a jsp which has a text box depending on the value entered I want to get the value from a database for other two fields with out submitting jsp page. I am using struts.
Thanks For any assistance provided.

Alright,here is an example for you for the first case.
Present.jsp:
============
<html:html>
<head>
<title><html:message key="page.title"/></title>
</head>
<body>
<html:form action="ChangeEvent.do">
<html:hidden property="method"/>

Emp Id:<html:text property="empId" size="5" onkeyup="if(true){this.form.elements[0].value='populateDetails';this.form.submit();}"/>
Emp Name:<html:text property="empName" size="10" />
Email Address:<html:text property="email" size="10" />
<html:submit>Submit</html:submit>
</html:form>
</body>
</html:html>struts-config.xml:
==================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.1//EN" "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_1.dtd">
<struts-config>

<form-beans>
<form-bean name="employeeFormBean" type="org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm">
   <form-property name="empId" type="java.lang.String"/>
   <form-property name="empName" type="java.lang.String"/>
   <form-property name="email" type="java.lang.String" />
</form-bean>
</form-bean>
<action-mappings>
<action path="/ChangeEvent" type="Test.GetChangeAction" name="employeeFormBean" scope="request" parameter="method">

<forward name="success" path="/Present.jsp"></forward>
<forward name="failed" path="/error.jsp"></forward>
</action>
</action-mappings>
</struts-config>GetChangeAction.java:
=====================
public class GetChangeAction extends DispatchAction{
public ActionForward populateDetails(ActionMapping mapping,ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
        DynaActionForm dForm = (DynaActionForm)form;
        String empId = dForm.get("empId");
        // calling Model / Db and then getting back Employee Details
        EmployeeBean eb = ModelUtils.getDetails(empId);
        // Updating form bean by updating values from the Model
        dForm.set("empName".eb.getEmpName());
        dForm.set("email".eb.getEmail());
        return mapping.findForward("success");
}well to me this should work regardless to any browser but we need to make sure we put in our logic properly.

How to Return List of Packages from Pacman/Yaourt Search

----EDIT----
Changed the name of the script from pacsearch to pacdot.
Apparently yaourt -Ssaq does this, so this script isn't as necessary as I thought. Although, I still find using pacdot -w to open the results in a text document helpful.
----/EDIT----
This isn't a question; it's a script I wrote. I thought someone else might find this useful.
I keep finding myself searching with pacman or yaourt and wishing I could get just the package names, not all of the extra stuff. For example, I'd love to be able to run yaourt -Sa $(yaourt -Ssa package). It doesn't seem like pacman and yaourt have an option for this (not that I can tell, at least), so I wrote a python script to do it. Copy it if you'd like. You can name it what you want, but I'll refer to it as pacdot.py.
pacdot.py package will be like yaourt -Ssa package but only list the package names.
I added a few extra options:
pacdot.py -o package will only list results from the official Arch repositories, not the AUR.
pacdot.py -i package will install all the found packages. If you've ever thought about running something like yaourt -Sa $(yaourt -Ssa package), that's what this command does.
pacdot.py -w package will:
Create a file called 'the-package-you-searched.txt',
Write an example command that would install the found packages,
(yaourt -Sa all-of-the-results),
Write each result on a new line, and
Open the file for you (with your default text editor).
Here's the code:
#!/bin/python3
import argparse
import re
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE, call
from collections import deque
desc = ''.join(('Search the official Arch and AUR databases ',
'and return package names only. ',

expac works only with official and unofficial repos, not with the AUR, but it's very nice.
Adding '-q' should help, grep to weed out false positives.
yaourt -Sa $(yaourt -Ssaq pulse)
works, but
$ yaourt -Sa $(yaourt -Ssaq chrome)

If you didn't install a different iproute version manually (not from the official repositories), then you should do:
pacman -S iproute
and simply reinstall iproute and all should be fine.

Use Package from other database

Hi all,
I want to use a function from a package which is stored on another database in the mapping of my datawarehouse.
How can I do that? I do not want to import the function, because then I do not get the changes which could be done to the package on the other database.
Thanks in advance
Yvonne

If I understand it correctly I should create the package with the same name to
the public transformations. Either to the public or to the transformations local to your project, yes.
There I then create a transformation in the package. What should I do with the
implementation? Leave it like the default is?You can leave it empty, as long as the number, order and type of parameters matches that of the actual packaged function in the database you will be calling.
How I does the OWB now know where he can find the package?That's the trickier part. You need a database link (connector) between your target and the database with the package. Then you can create a synonym, using the database link, in the target schema pointing to the package in the remote database.
Now, if you named the newly added package in OWB the same as the synonym used to access the package in the remote database AND you named the function in the new package the same as the real function, you should be able to use the transformation in a mapping, deploy it and execute it, without actually deploying the transformation itself.
Hmm, reading that back, it sounds rather convoluted to me.
Anyway...I hope it helps.

How to load data in HFM from oracle database without FDM

hi all,
I want to know that whether we can load data directlyrom oracle database residing on different server without writing the integartion script in FDM.
points to note:
we want to load data without using
1.FDM
2.Flat file
3.Excel file or csv or dat file

The process is described in the EPMA administrator's guide, which you can find in pdf format included in the HFM product documentation. The file name is bpma_admin.pdf. In the case that you have installed HFM (and included EPMA during the installation process), you may find this file in a folder that will look like C:\Hyperion\FinancialManagement\Documentation\en.
If you do not have installed the products yet, you should bear in mind that all Hyperion product documentation (including HFM) can be downloaded from the e-delivery site of Oracle (http://edelivery.oracle.com). The Hyperion product documentation is a large archive (zip), containing smaller archives per product. The smaller archive you need to open once you download the complete product documentation is the hfm_93100_product_doc.zip.

Exclude one field from Logical Database's dynamic selection screen

Hi Guru,
I have a requirement to amend a program to exclude the document number field (bsik-belnr) from the dynamic selection-screen of the logical database KDF(Vendor Database) so that the program will not filter according to the document number.
I have use the below syntax in my zprogram.
selection-screen exclude select-options: doc-no.
However I get syntax error "The addition EXCLUDE is only allowed in INCLUDE DBKDFSEL".
Please advice.
Best Regards,
Fung

The selection part of the logical database defines input fields for selecting data.
          The runtime environment displays these on the selection screen when you run an executable program linked to the logical database.
          Include called DB<ldbname>SEL.
        SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF VERSION ver TEXT-xxx.
                                                                SELECTION-SCREEN EXCLUDE ... .
                                                SELECTION-SCREEN END OF VERSION ver.
Defines a selection screen version (with a three-character name ver ). Between BEGIN OF VERSION and END OF VERSION , you can exclude selection screen objects for the version ver , i.e. remove them from the selection screen with SELECTION-SCREEN EXCLUDE.
          SELECTION-SCREEN DYNAMIC SELECTIONS FOR TABLE dbtab
If one of these tables is active in the report (i.e. it is declared under TABLES or lies somewhere on the path from the root of the database hierarchy to a table declared with TABLES ), a pushbutton called 'Dynamic selections' appears on the selection screen.

[Solved] Recommend a package with pacman for "Command Not Found"

Is there a way to get Pacman to recommend a package name like in ubuntu, for example:

The pkgtools package will do this for you.

Rescuing and/or Accessing Images From Aperture Database Without Aperture

Early reviews of Aperture mentioned that Aperture created a closed, inaccessible database of all the images contained therein. This apparently means that these images cannot be accessed unless you have Aperture. Does anyone else feel nervous about this? What happens if the Aperture database is corrupted and won't open? As far as I can see, you would be toast because you couldn't reach your images. I would appreciate hearing from someone who can address these concerns. How stable is the Aperture database? Is there a chance it could be corrupted and refuse to open? And if so, how would you go about rebuilding it and/or rescuing your images? It also appears that the only way you can move images is by exporting them (which requires a working program).
Any thoughts?

No problem! Trying to answer these questions is a very helpful way to learn the app by looking at aspects of it I have not encountered yet.
Yes, you can rebuild the Aperture database in a similar way to Entourage (and iPhoto). Holding down command-option after launching Aperture will make a Rebuild Library dialog appear. HOWEVER, don't do this unless you really want to see it work, because there seems to be no way to cancel the process. You can choose Rebuild Now or Don't Rebuild. If you choose Don't Rebuild, your Projects will nonetheless need to be recovered before use. The dialog mentions a Rebuild Later button, but there is no such button available.
I have done this a few times both ways in the course of writing this, and there does not seem to be any negatives to rebuilding other than the time rebuilding takes, so if your projects aren't large it may be worth doing now to get comfortable with the process.

Can I retrieve contact info from a database without the BlackBerry

Here's my story---a couple of weeks ago, I dropped my Pearl 8130 into a big cup of water. After it miraculously came back to life, I decided it was high time to BACKUP my contact info... so I used desktop manager version 4.3.0.17 to do so... I only clicked on 'Addresses' which I assumed meant contacts. I kid you not---the VERY NEXT DAY, my poor BlackBerry went into the pool with me. Now, despite the fact that I just mentioned having gone swimming, I actually do not lead a lavish lifestyle... I live in the desert, and I needed to get my poor, overheated toddler into the pool asap. I do have cell phone insurance, but I don't have the $50 deductible to get a new BlackBerry. I am using a used Casio G'zOne Boulder right now. I had SO much contact info though, that I need. So, here is my question. Is there a way to convert the database (IPD File) info I saved into a word document, or some other readable form so I can obtain all my contacts?
Thank you in advance,

[SOLVED] searching a package with pacman/yaourt

Sometimes i encounter a crash of kmix application on OS bootup. When i try submitting a bug report, it says that "The generated crash information is probably not useful'. The needed packages say i should be having, among others, 'libQtGui.so.4'
How do i search which package provides this file? I have tried a few options with -Q and -S, but that doesn't seem to work. Any pointers?

How do I know who deleted a package from database

HI
Some one deleted a package from the database.
is there any way to know , who did it and when?

Not unless you have auditing configured. I suggest you audit DDL: create, drop, alter, etc....

Update a pacman database on a machine with no internet.

ok, I'm not sure how many of you are going to find this useful, but here is what happened. I have 2 Arch boxes running, my laptop and my desktop. My laptop can get online, my desktop can't; due to I can't find a modem that will work with it. so how am I supposed to keep the desktop as bleeding edge? Easy, move the packages and pacman database to the desktop from the laptop. Now, I don't do this everyday, maybe once a week (after a major version bump, or something). I don't konw about you, but I would constantly be re-looking up all the switches I need to do this properly. So I wrote a script; well two actually. The first, is a simple bash one liner. The other is a little more complicated. You can find them here: http://mckean.upb.pitt.edu/~jhs/rph.tar.bz2.
I've been using them for about 3 weeks or so, and haven't broke anything. But these are use at your own risk. The import does make a backup of your database, but the first few times I would suggest making one yourself, just to be on the safe side.
Please leave feed back.

Another option: I use NFS to share my pacman cache from my main computer to my other computers, then mount on the other computers. The main advantage is that all the packages are only using up space on one computer. It works really good.
In your case you would need to mount the pacman database also. "/var/lib/pacman/" I think?
Just thought I'd share what works good for me.
Here are my notes I took to remind me how to do it.
