Suggestion for bauerbill/powerpill (list installed packages on -Ss)

This is targetted towards Xyne but posted here so others can add/criticize.
I propose that on -Ss bauerbill/powerpill should indicate if a package is already installed, and perhaps compare version numbers. Shamelessly copied from yaourt, but I loved that feature.
Similarly, when an upgrade is detected on the AUR the version numbers should be indicated (currently I have to 'v' to see the version and perhaps open another tab to see my current version. I'm forgetful, sue me).
OFF-TOPIC: Where should a topic like this go, asking about a community contribution? Shouldn't be a NEW thread in 'community contributions', for sure, and adding to a 16/17 page thread (which is mostly bug reports) seems a bit sub-optimal?

Yeah, that's because I have to parse the output of the pacman binary to insert the installation status for Bauerbill. The color is stripped when capturing the output. That whole area of the code is a bit of a kludge. I have plans to fix it, but they will require a lot of time to implement the way that I have in mind.
Powerpill doesn't bother with the parsing which is why you get the raw colored output.

  • List installed packages

    is there an easy way to list all your installed packages from the AUR? I've looked around and found a lot of things for the official repos but not the aur.

    yaourt prefixes packages that do not belong to a repository with "local/" when started with -Q switch.
    yaourt -Q | grep local
    This will give you all aur packages and all packages you might have installed manually (pacman -U).
    Edit: Damn esters, too fast for me :-)

  • Listing installed packages

    Does anyone know how to list which packages are installed in an Oracle installation.
    Thanks in advance!

    col parameter for a60 wrap

  • Need suggestions for what order to install software on new computer

    I have had an iMac (with Panther) for 3 1/2 years but have never made any major changes to it and plan to leave it as it is. We got a second computer yesterday, one of the last of the white iMacs, via an Apple reseller. It came with Tiger 10.4.6 installed with a Leopard 10.5 drop-in disc and an iLife 08 disk. I set up the new Mac so I have a web connection, but have not yet transferred any data from my back-up external hard-drive, nor have I attempted to install Leopard or iLife 08. I'm looking for recommendations for what order I should do these tasks. Or does it matter?
    That is, should I play around with Tiger for awhile (I've never used Tiger before), move all my data and confirm all is OK before adding Leopard?
    Or should I get Leopard on the computer right as the next step?
    Should iLife 08 be installed before or after Leopard? or is either order OK?
    Any suggestions that would be helpful to me?

    I concur with the others on going straight to Leopard. Then resolve any issues before installing non-Apple applications (or older Apple ones, for that matter).
    However, make sure ANY applications are Leopard-compatible before you install them.
    And note that the iLife '08 installer is for a 30-day trial installation (fully functional for those 30 days) after which it needs to be purchased.

  • Suggestions for structure of the business package content

    Hello gurus,
    We have imported CRM business package into our portal. We have about 6 departments in our organization and we have identified about 15 roles for all these departments. But the content going into these 15 different roles is more or less the same except for few of the BW reports, which can be different for different depts and diff roles.
    Could anybody give suggestion as to how I need to create portal content structure to manage the content in a better way?
    Points guaranteed for useful suggestions.

  • Check for optional dependencies when installing package

    When pacman installs a package is lists Optional Dependencies when applicable. Is there any way to get it to check whether they are installed or are there plans to get it to do so?

    Such an option is not available at the moment.
    https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12708
    https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15764 <- I think this is what you want

  • Pacexp - python script to list REALLY explicitly installed packages

    I usually just lurk the forums-- well, except for when I'm here asking for help with some PEBKAC issues... but never mind that.
    This is a small python script I just wrote today while procrastinating. I'd love some feedback on the code, personally, but I'm hoping this could be useful to someone else. I always forget the stuff I have installed when I'm looking to clean my system up and `pacman -Qe` lists a lot of packages that Arch installs itself, so this is my way of dealing with it.
    I'll probably be adding some other features to this script anyway, I'm gonna try to keep this post updated whenever I do so.
    pacexp
    A quick and dirty script to intersect the output of `pacman -Qe` with manually installed packages from /var/log/pacman.log
    https://gist.github.com/spaceporn/d4ec6391a4684efb933c
    If anyone has any suggestions to improve the code (even a better regexp counts), feel free to write them down here or on the gist page!

    I use

    to list packages that aren't required by any other package and are not part of base or base-devel. All of them have been explicitly installed.
    That's pretty cool! I'll probably save it as an alias if I ever have problems with my script

  • [Solved] List AUR packages installed and only AUR packages.

    Here's a good one.  Thought this would be easy but thought it over and then looked around a bit and haven't found anything.  There's might just be an easy way to do this that will make me *bonk* my head in the morning but I haven't found it yet.  I'm looking to be able to just list the packages I have installed from AUR and not any that I have gotten from the official repos.  I've checked out some utilities in AUR (like AURcheck) but as far as I can tell they just look for AUR updates.  Anyone know of a way to do this?

    I just got to reinstalling and this was a lifesaver - it worked great.  Thank for the help, brisbin, ghost, Allan...
    @Ghost, I would have used packup but I had a couple downgraded packages and I wanted to be able to troubleshoot it.
    The tip about the grep -v doing 'shortnameplus' was a good tip, Profjim.  I hadn't read this last post before and during the reinstall I was a bit surprised nvidia wasn't installed so... all is good now.
    I created a script to be able to create the backup list and restores from it simliar to ghosts and am able to run it in cron job.  Probably not a big deal, but... phhht.  Here it is for anyone that can use it:

  • The current iTunes 10.5 upgrade does not install on Windows 7 and indicates a faulty install package (error 2324). Advice or details on the release date for a proper fix?

    The current iTunes 10.5 upgrade does not install on Windows 7 and indicates a faulty install package (error 2324). Advice or details on the release date for a proper fix? I'm not able to roll back to the prior version, so I'm stuck in limbo.

    There have been a number of problems with installing the latest iTunes on Windows 7 64-bit machines during the last couple of weeks.  You might want to do a search on that topic and see if anyone has a solution.  There have been various versions of the problem but a lot related to errors in the download package or failure to download.

  • Where is the install package stored from the app store for Lion?

    This is an all new way of deploying OS updates from Apple. From what I can see, this presents some issues:
    1. Where is the install package that I bought from the app store, and how can I save that offline?
    2. If there's a problem with my device in the future, I have no media of Lion to restart from- so what's the procedure to restore from a TM backup? Go back to 10.6, and then to the 10.7 update?
    3. What if I want to boot from disc or a drive? I don't have a copy of the install to make a bootable image.
    Thanks for the help

    OK, once you install Lion the Installation Package gets deleted. However once you have installed Lion, do following:
    - Open the AppStore Application
    - With pressed Option (on German Keyboard ALT) Key klick on the "Purchased" Tab!
    - You will now see that the prviously greyed out "Install" key for Lion becomes active
    - Download the install package
    - Do not start installation
    - In order to create a bootable DVD or USB drive containing the installer follow instructions posted on
    http://www.macworld.com/article/161069/2011/07/make_a_bootable_lion_installer.ht ml
    This is how you can create installation media.
    For maintenance options (means your Lion installation has some problems but your drive is still OK)
    you can boot from the hidden recovery partitions that was created when you installed Lion.
    To do so, press the Option (ALT) Key while booting. You will have now the option to boot from
    Lion or recovery partition.
    Hope this helps!

  • Additional suggestion for iTunes 11.1.4 re-install

    Like a lot of people, I also hit the same wall with update to iTunes 11.1.4. Big props to turingtest 2 and others on the board, who gave great instructions to help folks re-install the new version of iTunes. Many were able to reinstall after following their instructions.
    I run Windows XP S.P.3 and followed the given steps to re-install multiple times, but was still not able to get iTunes to run, being given the same error message of the missing file as was given initially. I remembered seeing somewhere on the board about the importance of uninstalling all Apple programs, including Safari and Quick Time when the other Apple programs are uninstalled (iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support).
    I uninstalled the programs listed in order, including uninstall of Safari and Quick Time, shut down and re-booted the system, downloaded and saved the iTunes install file to my desktop and right-clicked on the file. Windows XP gives an option to "run as", which I left-clicked. I installed the program under my user name. Prior instructions recommended that the program be installed as Administrator, but my user name has been previously set up with administrative privileges, so it was the same thing as using Administrator. The program installed without problems. As an added point, when asked if I wanted to have automatic installs activated on the install screen, I unchecked that option. No thanks, Apple!
    Upon re-install, all of my music, movies, books, etc. were in place. All of my devices connect and work as usual on testing. Regarding Safari and Quicktime, I'm sure that I'll get a prompt to re-install them in the near future from Apple. I'm in no hurry!
    Hope this helps those who are still struggling with the re-install. It took me 5 days and multiple re-installs (and a lot of time) to get this done, all without the help of the Apple folks. Shame on Apple for putting out buggy software. Bigger shame for not admitting their mistake and stepping up to help. Thanks to all on the boards who stepped up to help their fellow users.

    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with iTunes for Windows. The following resource may provide a solution:
