[SOLVED] yaourt question

is there a way to grab all the packages wherein the name contains a certain string? e.g. there are numerous fortune packages, it would be cool to do something like
yaourt -S fortune-*
possible?
thx in advance.

You can use the output of one command as the input for another. I use cower as my AUR helper, so e.g.
$ cower -d $(cower -sq fortune-)
:: fortune-mod-arresteddevelopment downloaded to /home/karol/00
:: fortune-emma downloaded to /home/karol/00
:: fortune-mod-2brokegirls downloaded to /home/karol/00
:: fortune-classe-americaine-fr downloaded to /home/karol/00
:: fortune-mod-3rfts downloaded to /home/karol/00
:: fortune-hook downloaded to /home/karol/00
:: fortune-mod-all-en downloaded to /home/karol/00
:: fortune-mod-americandad downloaded to /home/karol/00
:: fortune-mod-archlinux downloaded to /home/karol/00
:: fortune-mod-betteroffted downloaded to /home/karol/00
$ cower -sq fortune- | wc -l
140

If I sign in to the Discussions, and go to Your Stuff and choose the question, I see the Legend, but there are no buttons for me to mark a reply as "This solved my question" or "This helped me".
Any idea why I can't do this? I'm running Mac OS 10.8.5, and Safari 6.0.5. Could there be something in my Safari settings that is blocking this?

Are you talking about the "Legend" panel at the right of the window?
Those text are just help texts explaining the reputation points. You can only award points, if you are the original poster of a question. Then you will see active buttons to award points below the answers you receive. See here for more information: https://discussions.apple.com/static/apple/tutorial/reputation.html

[Solved] Quick question about yaourt

I was just wondering if it is save to update my regular packages with yaourt using 'yaourt -Syu --devel --aur' or 'yaourt Syua'. I've heard about problems with having to have root access to update regular programs and it's a very bad thing to build AUR packages while root. I want to be able to update my AUR packages like I can with 'pacman -Syu' and if I could do them all at the same time, well that would be even better.

Correct .

[SOLVED] yaourt how to update aur packages

Hi!
I got a quick question. I thought that yaourt is able to update old packages installed from Aur automatically.
So for example I type as usually yaourt -Syu --aur but I noticed it doesn't show AUR packages I can update. Only from core/extra/community
For example I just typed:
yaourt yaourt
1 aur/yaourt 0.9.2.6-1 [0.9.2.5-1 installed] (2406)
and see that I can update yaourt. I have other packages installed from AUR, how do I know that a newer version is available without checking it manually?
edit:
so I am happy to mark it as solved. It wasn't a bug, but it is a way how yaourt works.
yaourt -Syu --aur shows packages from core/extra/community.
If I press Y (to install them). It shows a list again with the information how much to download and install and then after pressing "No" to install them, yaourt continues to check AUR packages in this case.
Julien MISCHKOWITZ, the developer said he could change the behavior
Thanks everyone for the attention!

[SOLVED] Yaourt search on AUR stopped working

hi all :>
yaourt's search engine was working quite nice until i booted up my computer this morning -.-
does anyone have an idea to solve this problem!? downloading + building from aur works great with yaourt just the search thingy is kinda broken -.-
can it be possible that it has to do something with my changes in sysctl.conf? i added several rules:
# Disable packet forwarding
net.ipv4.ip_forward=0
# Disable the magic-sysrq key
kernel.sysrq = 0
# Enable TCP SYN Cookie Protection

I've come up with a workaround. It's quick and probably dirty, but it enables me to search the packages and view the descriptions.

[SOLVED] Weird question: pacman -Syu nothing to do for quite a while

Hi,
Perhaps this an odd question but I feel like for the past 2-3 weeks on two different computers "pacman -Syu" returns "x up to date" for all repos and "nothing to do" as the result. Could nothing really be upgradeable for this long? Can anyone else confirm this or has something gotten goofed? Is there a way to check actual versions with what I have to make sure things really are working properly? Even if nothing was upgradeable I can't remember the last time I saw core, extra, or community actually download without doing "pacman -Syyu". They alway say up to date and I'm thinking this just can't be correct...
What might help for me to post? I haven't changed anything in pacman.conf or pacman.d/mirrorlist...
Thanks,
John

ok, so i seem to have solved the issue. i found a changelog for yaourt 0.9.2 that mentioned "fixing aur search". that prompted me to check the yaourt version on my machine and it was still at 0.9.0
upgrading to the latest version seems to have fixed the problem.

[Solved]Yaourt sync issue

I installed yaourt according to the instruction here http://archlinux.fr/yaourt-en
But when I run yaourt -Syu --devel --aur , I get an error: problem setting dbpath '//usr/local/var/lib/pacman/' (could not find or read directory)
The directory doesn't exist and pacman -v shows nothing related to that directory. What should I do?[]
Last edited by codetrick (2011-03-04 14:28:03)

I have the same problem. I get it when try to install 'package-query' and 'yaourt' from AUR, but i install it manually.
In INSTALL file of package-query I found interesting thing:
By default, `make install' installs the package's commands under
`/usr/local/bin', include files under `/usr/local/include', etc. You
can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving
`configure' the option `--prefix=PREFIX', where PREFIX must be an
absolute file name.
I uninstall yaourt and package-query using pacman and delete /usr/local directory (the system is fresh and this directory is not important)
Then i do
./configure --prefix=''
sudo make install
With yaourt i have more problems... Iven if you delete "/usr/local" from Makefile you don't solve the problem.
I find all "/usr/local" substrings in files from yaourt.x.x.x.tar.gz with commands:
tar -xzvf yaourt.x.x.x.tar.gz
cd yaourt.x.x.x
grep -RiHn 'usr/local/' *
and manually delete them.
Then i make and install my yaourt. It worked.
Oh, i know that it is unnormal, but i can't find anything in internet and write it to others.
P.S. I may install yaourt with this instruction^ http://archlinux.fr/yaourt-en (with pacman)

I have solved some questions, please check if my answers are correct

Hi every Java aces,
I have solved some programming questions, please check if my answers are correct. Thanks
Here are the questions and the answers to each question
(a) Write a method called add that takes three integers as parameters and returns an
integer that is the sum of the three parameters.
(b) Write a method called max that takes three integers as parameters and returns the
largest of the three integers.
(c) Write a method called printMax that takes three integers as parameters and prints
the maximum value to the screen. The method should return nothing. The method
should print the words \The maximum value is " followed by the maximum value,
followed by a new-line character. You should try to use the max method that you
wrote earlier.
(d) Write a method called min that takes three integers as parameters and returns the
smallest of the three integers.
(f) Write a method called ticketPrice that takes one integer parameter representing
the age of a person, and returns the price of a movie ticket in dollars (as a
oating
point value). Children under 6 get in for free (0.00), people that are 18 or under
pay 8.50, senior citizens (65 or older) pay 6.50, and all other people pay 10.00.
(g) Write a method called isDivisor that takes two integers as parameters and returns
true if the rst parameter is a divisor of the second parameter or false otherwise.
We say that m is a divisor of n, or that m divides n, if there is an integer k such
that n = k m. Note that 1 divides every integer, and every integer divides i
itself .

[SOLVED] yaourt and "wrong hashes"

I've just had some troubles updating several packages from AUR with yaourt.
The issues where concentrating on seemingly "wrong hashes".
Today I looked a little deeper and found out, that for some reason (maybe canceled upgrade or similar) yaourt was placing a symlink in the
/tmp/yaourt-tmp-user/package-name/
that refers to a (possibly) broken file in
/var/cache/yaourt/build/
Yaourt seems not to be able to delete it, so when trying to update (again) it will break operation on validating hashes.
Not sure if that's just a system quirk introduced by a crash or a yaourt specific problem (as it's unable to delete the broken file from its build directory on its own).
Anyhow: For me deleting the contents of the yaourt's build directory and the package build directories in /tmp solved this issue and I was able to update without any troubles!
Happy times! Though I think it's sufficient to only delete the files specific to the package that fails to upgrade.
Hope this could be of any use to someone.

Can you add a Troubleshooting section to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Yaourt ?
