Raw

Api

  • tests
  • check if splitpackages are handled correctly
  • add doc

Improvements

  • replace AurMakepkgCache with a more generic aggregator
  • using tsort in rget won't do a breadth first search, which would reduce the number of aur queries. With tsort packages are queried one by one.
  • split Makepkg into a class for downloading/viewing/querying and the class for installing. This will allow to support both github and the aur rpc.
  • preference to decide which :provides to choose (and favorise local packages for provides)

UI

  • view only when updated/new + add trusted PKGBUILD
  • confirm before installing or updating pkgver (this is somewhat orthogonal to exiting when view return false since we may want to not view the files)
  • due to vercmp, we need to reset packages before pulling => use stash?
  • allow to check for packages that are moved from aur to the official db and conversely

Bugs

  • in official we need to also list packages provided by them, eg libarchive provides libarchive.so (but libarchive.so does not exist separately, but eg aurutils-git requires it)
  • also when we have custom packages in our db (not in aur), we get missing warnings for these packages
  • when using AurMakepkgCache, missing packages info are repeated several times
  • in sync_db setup a simily local cache so that the packages don't get copied twice (ie both in /var/cache/pacman and in ~/.cache/arch_aur/.db).
  • makechrootpkg does not propagate 'PKGEXT' setting. So if we use zstd in our local makepkg.conf, aur.rb will expect a zst package to be built, but an xz will be built instead (per the default makepkg.conf in the chroot). Not sure how to fix this. The solution is to specify devtool's makepkg.conf for chroot builds (cf the config).

CLI

  • in db update, allow to be more atomic, same for clean That is we want to be able to specify which packages we want to update/clean

  • in aur install:

    • add --no-fetch and --fetch=only (or add an extra command specialised in fetching PKGBUILD?);
    • add --extra-db= to specify an external db
    • add --buildopts="..." that gets passed to our build function

  • Add packages informations:

    • 'package info'
    • 'package compare' [DONE]
    • 'package list' [DONE]

  • Expand around our temp pacman config features to remake checkupdates in a more flexible way. For instance to only update our extra database on interact with our aur database. Would need features to symlink the local database too.

  • Clean ~/.cache/arch_aur. Essentially a wrapper to call for i in *(/); do git -C $i clean -ndx; done
