Upgrading certain AUR packages when specific official packages change

I'm having some trouble with updating. As many Archers, I use some packages from AUR. In my case, I'm using bauerbill specifically to update packages from AUR just like I would with pacman. Quite convenient (thx, xyne!)
But I have some packages that need to be rebuild from AUR when certain official packages are updated, e.g. compiling thinkhdaps against the new kernel version, or updating Lightning and Enigmail from AUR when I update my Thunderbird. However, so far I have not yet found a way to do this: calling specific commands when certain packages are changed.
Is there any way to do this in pacman or one of the other arch package managers? Or do you have a clue about how to write a script that could do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

But I think that seems to be a problem as you wouldn't know which applications to keep watching since some might need to be re-built, and others might not.
I guess watching every package installed outside of pacman (pacman -Qm) would be the only way to see which AUR package needs to be re-built. Depending on how many packages you have installed from AUR or external sources, this could be very fast to extremely slow.

How to manage "forks" of official packages?

I'm trying to figure out a way to use a custom repository to track packages I copy from ABS and modify. Creating the packages, and the repo DB, is easy. I just can't figure out how to sanely USE such a repository.
What I'd like to emulate is a "highest version wins regardless of source repo" behavior, and I know pacman doesn't do this. I want name collisions of packages to resolve to my repo when myversion <= officialversion, and use the official package otherwise.
The value of this behavior would be that pacman alerts me (by nominating for upgrade) when the official package is updated and my modified version is thus out of date. Then, I cancel the pacman upgrade and go update my personal repo instead.
If I put my repo first in pacman.conf, I can't track the official versions of the modified packages. If I put it last, my repo adds no value over not having a personal repo at all and just doing "pacman -U" on the individual packages (which is what I'm doing now).
I want to make it clear that I'm NOT complaining about pacman's behavior, or asking for a change. I think rather that I'm going about this the wrong way, and so I'd like to know how others have solved this problem.
(This thread is also related to my "which official packages do you modify?" thread, in which I try to determine how important this problem is to other users.)

My feeling is basically that these answers don't make any improvement over what I've been doing - just not having my custom packages in a repo at all, but installing them with pacman -U. Adding shell scripts to my system is not very KISS. I'm a sysadmin by trade, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's to use as few tools as possible. This is why I avoid quality software like rebase, reflector, powerpill, and yaourt - great stuff, but I can get by without them. (Naturally, Xyne, being the author of several of those examples, probably doesn't subscribe to this philosophy.)
What a jer...

I don't really want to use a personal repo to solve this problem (in fact I'd prefer to avoid it for the complexity it represents) - I just want to be able to fork official PKGBUILDs in a way that's lightweight, flexible, and scalable, and I saw a personal repo as a good shot at success. Perhaps readers of this thread could tell me how they handle this problem? I'm basically looking for methodology, not helper-tools.
My understanding is that you want to maintain custom versions of repo packages in the same release cycle. You also want to achieve this without using simple tools (or, by extension of your KISS argument, complex tools) and in the simplest way possible. I see that as a contradiction.
Even considering the XY problem, your original post suggested a willingness to accept a fair amount of complexity so it seems strange that you would reject a very simple script to achieve your goal. If doing it all manually is undesirable but using a script is unacceptable then I don't see a solution.
There's an unavoidable (if small) level of complexity involved in what you want to do. Unless you have figured out a way to automate building the custom packages with each new release with whatever changes you've made (which would certainly require complex tools), you will still need to do that manually. If you only need to install these packages on your own system then a simple "makepkg -irs" will work. If you need to share the packages then you have to "makepkg" and then <create a repo and host it|write scripts|use pkgd|do it manually|etc>.
The former is as simple as it gets. The latter will require tools or time. I opt for using tools in that case. In either case, the remaining issue is notification of the update cycle. To achieve that, you either have to check for newer versions manually or use a script. Your original post involved essentially hijacking pacman's update function using repo trickery in order to manually abort a download which you would later have to resume just to find out about new releases. That involves repo maintenance (creation, updating, cleaning) and at least 2 calls to pacman. A script to print out a list of available updates seems very much like an improvement to me. You've already stated that you don't see that as an improvement.
I suspect that I still don't fully understand what you actually want to achieve.

Error with Project Parameters when executing the package with dtexec command

Hi,
We have started migrating our SSIS package from 2005 version to SSIS 2012. In SSIS 2005 we were using XML configuration files and executing the packages with dtexec command from the packages folder (without deploying packages to filesystem).
Now in SSIS 2012, we have seen Project Parameters and created couple of package parameters and used those parameters in the package. when executing this package from solution explorer it was working fine but when i try to execute the same package from command
line with Dtexec command, it was showing an error message of 'Not able to map Project Prameters to configurations'.
Could you please give me an idea of how to execute the packages from command line by using dtexex command. basically i would like use project parameters in 2012 similar to configurations?
Thanks,
Venu.

Refer
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-IN/library/hh231187.aspx
you can pass parameter like this
/SET \Package.Variables[$Package::ParameterName];<value> /SET \Package.Variables[$Project::ParameterName];<value>

Official packages "required by" search for AUR packages

I often want to see which aur packages depend on a given official package.
e.g. recently to see that qt5-webengine is being used by something (qupzilla-git),
but most often to see if I might later regret updating to a git version
because there are interesting packages that depend on released versions.
My current understanding is that to do this I would have to clone http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/
and then grep -r pkgname.
Does anyone have a better way?

AUR is pretty big.
http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/ … ter.tar.xz is 120 MB but it decompresses into 1.2 GB on disk. I'd recommend using an efficient searching method unless you want to wait ... and wait ... and wait. And then you run out of memory ;P
AUR 4.0 is git-based, so maybe they'll include something like this. Ask on the ML, if you want.
AUR packages that depend on qt5-webengine:
j8-git
qupzilla-git
mist
The snapshot has 70k package directories, 15k more than the current AUR, so you get some false positives when grepping (i.e. packages that aren't available anymore).

[SOLVED]Weird conflict with official packages and aur packages

Hi. I have enchant-zemberek installed on my system. It is my package that i'm maintaining at AUR. Yesterday i tried to install poedit which depends on enchant. Weirdly altoguh enchant-zemberek provides enchant; pacman tried to remove enchant-zemberek and instead install enchant. Otherwise it won't let me install poedit. I have updated enchant-zemberek PKGBUILD and pacman let me install poedit without forcing me to install enchant. Here is what i have in my first PKGBUILD before update:
replaces=("enchant")
provides=("enchant")
conflicts=('enchant')
And after updating;
replaces=("enchant=${pkgver}")
provides=("enchant=${pkgver}")
conflicts=('enchant')
Now, i'm wondering while an AUR package have different package name than the official one why pacman tries to replace it? Why PKGBUILD needs package version in provides tag? Say, if i want to keep my own my-abc-1.0-1.i686.pkg.tar.xz but official package abc-1.1-1.i686.pkg.tar.xz released; must i keep my package only in Ignores array? Should i report this as a bug?
Last edited by tarakbumba (2011-04-07 09:52:41)

No, its not a bug. poedit depends on gtkspell which depends on enchant>=1.5.0 - your original custom enchant package did not provide any specific version of enchant, so pacman pulled in the repo package instead to satisfy the versioned dependency. As you have built your package with replaces=enchant, pacman also honours that.

Automatic upgrade of AUR packages dependent on kernel version.

I have an issue with upgrading AUR packages with pacaur. When I try to upgrade with one of the following commands:
pacaur -u [package_name]
pacaur -Su -a
pacaur -Syu
I keep getting the error 'no results found for dependencies)'
Here an example output:
[ ~ ]$ pacaur -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: spl-git: requires linux=3.17.6-1
:: zfs-git: requires linux=3.17.6-1
:: Starting AUR upgrade...
:: resolving dependencies...
:: no results found for dependencies)
As seen in this example, the system upgrade is failed due to two kernel packages which require the previous kernel version.
I wonder, does the AUR upgrade fails after the failed system upgrade because of new spl-git and zfs-git packages require the new kernel version? And the message ":: no results found for dependencies)" is caused by this?
It seems there is a kind of a circular dependency in this case - kernel doesn't upgrade because of zfs requires the older kernel, and zfs doesn't upgrade because the new version of zfs requires the new kernel.
Previously I upgraded AUR packages manually, by first removing them, then upgrading the kernel and after that installing new versions of packages.
Is it possible to automatically upgrade kernel packages? If so can this be done with pacaur?

ITunes won't upgrade to10.5. Error message "There is a problem with the Windows installer package. Contact the package vendor". I need help.

iTunes won't upgrade to10.5. I'm on 10.1.17.
When installing 10.5 it terminates with an error message "There is a problem with the Windows installer package. Contact the package vendor".
It does not provide an error code or details/description to further troubleshoot. As a result I can't upgrade my Apple devices to leverage the cloud.
Any smarts out there who could help?
Using PC Win-7 w/IE 7 (should that matter)
Thanks much

I know there's a million threads like this, but I thought I'd record my experience. I, too, was having the original poster's error when I tried to update iTunes on Windows XP. I think I was stuck on 10.
I solved it by un-installing iTunes and every other Apple app. I discovered that Apple Software Update would not un-install as its MSI file could not be found. I used the "Windows Install Cleanup" tool from Microsoft to remove Apple Software Update from the list of installed programs. Google "kb290301" for a Microsoft page that includes a download link for it. After that, I was able to install a fresh copy of iTunes 10.5.2.
I'm not sure why this app's folder and MSI were missing from my computer. I had once used Laplink PC Mover to move everything from my old computer to this one, and perhaps it missed a bit.

When should be package invalidated?

Hello guys,
I would need again some help...
My question is: When exactly should be package invalidated?
Consider following situation:
We have two packages, one contains constants (in its specification), the other is reading these constants. Package is reading these constants in package body and package spec as well. Now, when I add a new constant to the first package and recompile it, should this invalidate the other package??? The new added constant is not used in the other package.
In reality, we have a Constant package, containing all constants in its specification. One package (test_pkg) is reading some constant let say form line 100. Now we add new constant let say to line 50. When we recompile the constant package, planty of packages get invalidated because they are reading from it. We recompile all invalid packages. However test_pkg is not invalidated!!! Now if we run the code from test_pkg, it is still reading the constant from line 100, so it is reading it from wrong place and the constant has wrong value! The only thing what help is to recompile the test_pkg.
So it looks like the reference to Constant package wasn't updated.
Why isn't test_pkg invalidated???
Oracle version:
SELECT * FROM V$VERSION;
Oracle Database 11g Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production

TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production

From my standard library of responses...
Packages tend to fail because of their "package state". A package has a "state" when it contains package level variables/constants etc. and the package is called. Upon first calling the package, the "state" is created in memory to hold the values of those variables etc. If an object that the package depends upon e.g. a table is altered in some way e.g. dropped and recreated, then because of the database dependencies, the package takes on an INVALID status. When you next make a call to the package, Oracle looks at the status and sees that it is invalid, then determines that the package has a "state". Because something has altered that the package depended upon, the state is taken as being out of date and is discarded, thus causing the "Package state has been discarded" error message.
If a package does not have package level variables etc. i.e. the "state" then, taking the same example above, the package takes on an INVALID status, but when you next make a call to the package, Oracle sees it as Invalid, but knows that there is no "state" attached to it, and so is able to recompile the package automatically and then carry on execution without causing any error messages. The only exception here is if the thing that the package was dependant on has changes in such a way that the package cannot compile, in which case you'll get an Invalid package type of error.
And if you want to know how to prevent discarded package states....
Move all constants and variables into a stand-alone package spec and reference those from your initial package. Thus when the status of your original package is invlidated for whatever reason, it has no package state and can be recompiled automatically, however the package containing the vars/const will not become invalidated as it has no dependencies, so the state that is in memory for that package will remain and can continue to be used.
As for having package level cursors, you'll need to make these local to the procedures/functions using them as you won't be able to reference cursors across packages like that (not sure about using REF CURSORS though.... there's one for me to investigate!)
This first example shows the package state being invalided by the addition of a new column on the table, and causing it to give a "Package state discarded" error...

Error connecting to Oracle from when running SSIS Package on Windows 64-bit

Hi.
I have an SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services) Package that reads a view on Oracle and loads data into table in SQL Server 2005. This is on a Windows 2008 Server (64-bit). SQL Server 2005 with SP3. Oracle Client 11g (32 bit & 64 bit) Runtime Version installed on server. The server has been rebooted since installing OracleClient.

Someone mentioned on another forum that maybe there is no Oracle ODBC driver for 64-bit Windows. I would assume that the OracleClient 64-bit would include that.
I hope I have included all info needed. Please let me know if you may have a resolution to this problem.

I was trying to transfer data from oracle to sql server 2008 on a daily basis.
I have very hard time connecting to oracle from ssis package on windows server 2008. I am almost dead and cannot find any help. i was able to connect to oracle using import/export 64 bit feature of SQL Server 2008 using Oracle provider for OLEDB. But I am not sure why the same does not work with BIDS?
Here's the environment info:

3. Windows Server 2008
Appreciate your help. Please save me.

Please specify how do we can activate a web scope feature over all sub webs when a solution package is activated.???

please specify how do we can activate a web scope feature over all sub webs when a solution package is activated.
when a solution package is deactivated the web scope features over all sub website gone deactivated and does not re-activated when solution package is activated.
we have couples of sub webs to activate web features manually that should be activated when a solution package is activated.
all sub webs are created by custom web templates onet.xml.

Hi,
I can think of three different solution (all custom solution)
Use Powershell Cmdlet to activate feature to all sub sites
Upgrade your solution to Site Collection scope, However all subsites under the root will have access to the features, which you may want to restrict based on your requirement

Request for Serial Number when licensing CS6 package with CC

We're setting up our first batch of CC subscriptions for some new staff and to cater for some upgrades from CS5. However, we need to remain with CS6 likely for the rest of this year to maintain a consistent art pipeline.
If In understand correctly, I can use CCP to create and deploy only CC packages, while I need to use AAMEE to create the CS6 packages. Following: http://www.adobe.com/go/aamee_deploymentguide I created an unserialised, trial mode Flash Professional package and deployed this on a test system. At the same time, I invited a test user to our CC for Team subscription (under the VIP program) and assigned a live Flash Professional subscription to him.
The package deployed successfully (although it took an incredibly long time) and when started < i clicked the 'License this software' button. The user sioged in successfully with his newly created Adobe ID and was then asked for a serial number. Since this is a CC subscription, I don't have a serial number to give him. I had assumed that the adobe ID was now associated with the license and the serial number would not be required.
How do I get past this stage when deploying this package to users? Is there some undocumented option or modification I need to make to the package?

Just to clarify this for anyone else that's reading:
The client-side AME is installed automatically with CS6 applications. It is this component that is failing to validate my CC subscription, causing the application to fall back to requesting a serial number.
After a telephone call with Abhijit, we discovered that installing the standalone CC desktop application, either before or after the CS6 package, allowed the subscription to be validated and the software activated. It seems like there's a significant bug there, or at least a lack of consideration for the possibility that clients might not have CCD installed. The workaround is just about satisfactory for my environment, but I think this could still cause trouble in some larger or educational setups.
A useful tip: The CCD installer downloadable here: https://ccmdls.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/KCCC/1/win32/CreativeCloudSet-Up.exe supports the same command line switches as msiexec, so although it's not readily deployable as an MSI, it does allow for unattended installation.

When migrating dts package to ssis 2005 version

Hello,
When migrating dts package to ssis 2005 version I'm getting below error.
Component with name "DupCheckXLS" and class ID "{5A0B62E8-D91D-49F5-94A5-7BE58DE508F0}" could not be created because an error was encountered during its upgrade to the current version.
Contact information:
Any help would be helpful.

may be components and properties available on 2005 that are not available on 2000.You need to re create the task in SSIS.
Yes. that has been my experience always. One or more tasks have to be recreated. The architecture itself is different in SSIS. Thats why I feel it might be better to recreate package in SSIS rather than trying to migrate and then fix the issues
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs

Using 3rd Party packages when creating jar - program doesn't run

I am using the xerces and xom packages for xml etc in my program.
It works fine when run from a command prompt, but as soon as I package it into a jar I get the java.lang.NoClassDefFound error for the nu.xom.Builder class (one of the 3rd party classes.)
Reading through these forums has yielded several suggestions, none of which work.
I am probably making some massive stupid mistake, but cannot see it...
My manifest:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: 1.6.0 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Main-Class: be.bavardage.vocab.VocabGUI
Class-Path: serializer.jar xercesImpl.jar xercesSamples.jar xml-apis.jar xom-1.1.jar
using the jar comand line prompt:
jar cfm vocab.jar MANIFEST.MF be\bavardage\vocab\*.classCan anyone give me any indication as to what I am doing wrong...

bavardage,
I too am reading forum messages to try to do just what you originally wanted to do. I have 3rd party JARs and I have always first extracted them and then turned around and JAR'ed them up into my single Remote.jar (actually I'm so new to Java that I don't yet change things that aren't broken and this was working when I got it)
jar xf jakarta-oro-2.0.5.jar
jar xf jasperreports-1.2.1.jar
jar xf iReport.jar
jar cmf mainClassSpec Remote.jar *.class org/ net/ it/I am reading the forums for a way to NOT do this. My reason is because I want to make the application Java Web Start (JAWS) capable. By zipping all the JARs up into one I end up with a JAR over 6 MB! I am also adding internationalization and I really need to keep the ListResourceBundle classes in a separate JAR so I can keep adding languages and not cause the entire 6 MB file to be downloaded each time.
Using Java Web Start is the real motivating force here. I need to keep all JARs separate so that when there are code changes or new languages only one small JAR will be downloaded again by JAWS not the huge iReport.jar file at 4,218KB nor the somewhat smaller jasperreports...jar at 1,225KB (at 64KB jakarta-oro...jar is hardly worth mentioning) .
I will watch this thread to see if you or anyone else later comes up with the information to reference external JARs (while in a Java Web Start environment).
So to put it in a question format, can anyone provide some information about referencing external JARs in a normal environment and will it work in a JAWS environment (I do know the technique for specifing and downloading multiple JARs in a JNLP file)?

Why do I often have to remove a foreign packages when it's updated?

Why do I often have to remove a foreign package when it's updated in order to make it work after an update?
So many questions in AUR that something is updated and it's not working - "well just rebuild it". Meaning that you should first "-Rdd" it and then "-S" it again. If you just "yaourt -Syu --aur" - some might not work after this. So why can't those programs work after an update without deleting them before?

Works for me that same way.

Not from what I know.
