[solved] Which Pacman commands can be passed to makepkg

Hi all! I'm a very big fan of Alan's work and his blog has kept me entertained for quite some time now. Regarding package management, specifically how to "try-before-you-buy" packages from AUR or ABS, he wrote:
One way I have found to keep track of packages you want to temporarily install is to have a sort of secondary
package management system within the main pacman database. This is achieved through abuse of the dependency
tracking features of pacman. Any package that is to be installed for a temporary period get installed with the --
asdep flag. This tells pacman that the package is a dependency. Given no other package depends on it, it is what is
commonly referred to as an "orphan" package and can be listed using pacman -Qtd. Currently on my system I have:
$ pacman -Qtd
gimp 2.6.11-6
vlc 1.1.10-6
When I no longer want these packages on my system, they will be uninstalled in the standard way (pacman -Rs pkg).
If I decide to keep the package, I can change the pacman database entry using the little known -D/--database flag.
E.g. pacman -D --asexplicit vlc will change the install reason for the vlc package from being "Installed as a
dependency for another package" to "Explicitly installed". It will no longer be listed as an orphan, effectively
taking it out of this secondary pacman management system inserting it into the main one.
I began to use this method of package management after I read this on his blog. It makes sense and it works well. However, I want to know if the only flags I can pass to Pacman while building apps are:
--asdeps
--noconfirm
--needed
The wiki, though, doesn't say anything about the useage of other pacman flags.
My question is: can I pass arbitrary flags to Pacman while building an app using a PKGBUILD? E.G. can I pass makepkg the "--asexplicit" flag if I want to do the opposite of Alan's idea and install something as an explicit package? Are apps compiled through "makepkg" installed and flagged by Pacman by default "--asexplicit?"
[edit]: Marked solved and gave a better subject line for future searchers.

I think you really need to clarify your question. You can't pass pacman any flags while building 'apps' - pacman doesn't build packages, makepkg does.
If you want to know what flags you can pass to pacman when installing a package, read the man page.
The makepkg man page will also tell you which flags can be passed to pacman when using the -i flag.

How can I pass a value to the command prompt?

I was wondering how can I pass a value to the command prompt with Windows and Linux? I'm more interested in Linux's system than Windows though. Is there a way to return info from the command prompt?

Here is a snippet from http://mindprod.com/jglossexec.html that explains how in detail.
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("myprog.exe") will spawn an external process that runs in parallel with the Java execution. In Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP, you must use an explicit *.exe or *.com extension on the parameter. It is also best to fully qualify those names so that the system executable search path is irrelevant, and so you don't pick up some stray program off the path with the same name.
To run a *.BAT, *.CMD, *.html *.BTM or URL you must invoke the command processor with these as a parameter. These extensions are not first class executables in Windows. They are input data for the command processor. You must also invoke the command processor when you want to use the < > | piping options, Here's how, presuming you are not interested in looking at the output:
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("command.com /E:1900 /C MyBat.bat" );
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("cmd.exe /E:1900 /C MyCmd.cmd" );
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("C:\\4DOS601\\4DOS.COM /E:1900 /C MyBtm.btm" );
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("D:\\4NT301\\4NT.EXE /E:1900 /C MyBtm.btm" );
There are also overloaded forms of exec(),
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("command.com /E:1900 /C MyBat.bat", null);
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("command.com /E:1900 /C MyBat.bat", null, "C:\\SomeDirectory");
The second argument can be a String [], and can be used to set environment variables. In the second case, "C:\\SomeDirectory" specifies a directory for the process to start in. If, for instance, your process saves files to disk, then this form allows you to specify which directory they will be saved in.
Windows and NT will let you feed a URL string to the command processor and it will find a browser, launch the browser, and render the page, e.g.
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("command.com http://mindprod.com/projects.html" );
Another lower level approach that does not require extension associations to be quite as well set up is:
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler http://mindprod.com/projects.html" );
Note that a URL is not the same thing as a file name. You can point your browser at a local file with something like this: file://localhost/E:/mindprod/jgloss.html or file:///E|/mindprod/jgloss.html.
Composing just the right platform-specific command to launch browser and feed it a URL to display can be frustrating. You can use the BrowserLauncher package to do that for you.
Note that
rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler file:///E|/mindprod/jgloss.html
won't work on the command line because | is reserved as the piping operator, though it will work as an exec parameter passed directly to the rundll32.exe executable.
With explicit extensions and appropriately set up associations in Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP you can often bypass the command processor and invoke the file directly, even *.bat.
Similarly, for Unix/Linux you must spawn the program that can process the script, e.g. bash. However, you can run scripts directly with exec if you do two things:
Start the script with #!bash or whatever the interpreter's name is.
Mark the script file itself with the executable attribute.
Alternatively start the script interpreter, e.g.
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec (new String[]{"/bin/sh", "-c", "echo $SHELL"}";

[solved] pacman command to compare package config files

Hi, Id like to know if there is a pacman command similar to this:
pacman -Qii | awk '/^MODIFIED/ {print $2}'
from pacman tips, but where it just checks if the files are not identicle to the default config file of the package?
From what I can tell, this checks if a file was modified at all (I have copied a config file from a package to a modified package and the file still appears in the output, even though their contents is identicle.
pacman -Qii | awk '/^MODIFIED/ {print $2}'

Unless I am misunderstanding you, pacman does that by default; when the upgrade is written to disc, the file in question becomes foo.pacnew which you can easily vimdiff or whatever against the original.
Yes, but I would like to print out a list of config files that are not identical
I basically want to see a list of all the config files installed that are not identical to thier original config file,
pacman -Qii | awk '/^MODIFIED/ {print $2}'
still lists files which are identical because I think it uses modification times or something else

Is there such a thing as a limit to the number of characters in a pacman command line?

There is likely a limit, but that's not what the problem is here. Highlight the text in the codeblock:

You are including spaces after the backslashes on multiple lines, so you are not escaping the newlines but only the spaces. The first line simply calls pacman with a space, which is why you get "target not found" (there is no package named " ") instead of "no targets specified".
The next line invokes galculator with gnumeric, gimp and " " as arguments, etc.
Incidentally, if you need to deal with long package lists, you can pipe them via other commands or from files, e.g.
pacman -S - < /path/to/file/list
cmd_that_prints_long_list | pacman -S -

Can we Pass two variable values in to one Varaible which is Cust Exit?

Hi all,
Can we pass two Variable values to a Variable which is Custexit?(For Example posting Period and the fiscalyear in to the FicalPeriod )
Regards
Kiran

Hello,
For that example you had to "convert" both post period and fiscalyear into fiscalperiod, and yes it is possible, but not throwing up the two values, you had to do it yourself in the user exit code.

Can I pass a command to the DOS prompt from my program?

Hi everyone,
I'm a Java newbee..and have a relatively small doubt:
Can I pass any DOS command to the console,say "for setting a class path " to the DOS PROMPT LIKE "PATH = %PATH%;D:\BEA\WEBLOGIC700\USER_PROJECTS\DOMAIN3" from a simple java program?
Thank u in advance,
moritala.

Yes you can call a command in a DOS command shell although obviously not in a platform independant manner.
However it won't have the effect you want it to. The command shell will open, you will set the classpath and then that shell will close - the classpath setting will not affect the already running java application (the one that opened the command shell). To load classes not on the classpath create a custom ClassLoader and use that to load the classes from your new location (this is, in essence how application servers allow multiple applications to have their own sets of classes without interference).
BTW what does this have to do with JDBC?
Hope this helps

Are there any command can list all container and XML doc which in DB

When I use BDB XML shell,
are there any command can list all container or xml document which in database,
maybe like command dir(in windows), can list all exist directory and file.
Thank very much.
Henry Wang

Hi Henry,
When I use BDB XML shell,
are there any command can list all container or xml
document which in database,
maybe like command dir(in windows), can list all
exist directory and file.If you type "help" in the dbxml shell you'll get a list of all the commands available. As you will observe, you can use the "getDocuments" command to retrieve all the documents within a container. You will have to open the container first.
If you want to list all the files within a directory you'll need to simply use the command prompt's "dir" (naming all your containers within a directory in the <container_name.dbxml> would allow you get the list by running a "dir *.dbxml" command).
Not sure that this is what you really want, but if you would like to keep track of all the containers within a directory, or other directories, you can use a container with a special role, that of a catalogue, to hold the list of all created containers on disk, and eventually other specific information.

Andrei

Which cisco command on router can show me specific hosts which have dhcp reserved IPs

how can i get that which hosts of the network have reserved dhcp IPs as i know that dhcp reservation to be created when mac address will be assigned.
so, which cisco command on router can show me specific hosts which have dhcp reserved IPs.thanks

As said by Leo, the DHCP bindings will show the corresponding MAC addresses.
Unless you have a list of all MAC addresses somewhere (which most people tend not to) then you can use the ARP cache combined with the CAM tables to trace which ports relate to which MAC address to get more information on the host if you need it.

Can we pass Reference cursor using dblink

I feel like it is not possible because the memory structure of same will be available in other DB.
Could you please let me know whether we can give a work around which will solve the issue.
Regards,

Balu, cursor is a memory area which contains parsed SQL statement and everything needed for
the execution of the SQL command. That, of course, is instance specific and carrying it over to another DB using db-link would make no sense whatsoever.
