Arch Linux User Repository

pkgver() gives 1.7.132.gdc19d03-1, so `yaourt -Sua` keeps asking me to upgrade yaourt-git.

You should add git as a make dependency

git repo moved to https://github.com/archlinuxfr/yaourt, please update PKGBUILD

thanks to make it works :)

PKGBUILD for pacman 4.1 (fixed the unquoted $pkgdir): http://pastebin.com/LeAcm4aX

PKGBUILD for pacman 4.1: http://pastebin.com/f3VBvXV9

Yaourt never removes its tmp litter (directory :) in /tmp when it's done. It just loiters there empty.

With pacman-4.0.3-1 installed, Bash completion for yaourt does not work.
Bash completion for yaourt depends on bash completion functions of pacman, which are, however, located in /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ and
are dynamically loaded. When bash completion functions for pacman are not loaded, tab key after yaourt command complains like "_pacman_file: command not found"

I inserted a line as follows into /etc/bash_completion.d/yaourt:
_completion_loader pacman
This solved the problem.

PKGBUILD updated.

It appears to have moved, as I do not used testing:

escher ~$ which install
/usr/bin/install

coreutils from [core] provides /bin/install, the one from [testing] provides /usr/bin/install, I will change Makefile once it reaches [core], until then, you have to manualy modify the Makefile, or change PKGBUILD to have:
make INSTALL=/usr/bin/install PREFIX=/usr sysconfdir=/etc localstatedir=/var DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install

==> Starting package()...
make: Circular yaourtrc <- yaourtrc dependency dropped.
/bin/install -d /media/Source_Codes/AUR_Devel_Packages/yaourt-git/pkg/usr/bin
/bin/bash: /bin/install: No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 127

The file is at "/usr/bin/install"

==> Starting package()...
make: Circular yaourtrc <- yaourtrc dependency dropped.
/bin/install -d /media/Source_Codes/AUR_Devel_Packages/yaourt-git/pkg/usr/bin
/bin/bash: /bin/install: No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 127

Nevermind, I'll be recompiling only a few packages, doing it with everything is a waste of time.

Also, when building a package which is part of a split PKGBUILD, yaourt -Sb will build all the split packages and install them all, can that be prevented? (sorry for the double post).

Hi, I recently started to recompile every package when they're updated, (yaourt -Syubba). Problem is, ABS is only updated once a day, while the packages lists are updated several times a day. This causes yaourt to build packages which are already present on my system, and not the newer version. Is it possible to automatically check the package version from ABS and skip it if it's not newer?

@tuxce

worked, thanks!

yaourt failed to resolve depends= in package_ function for split package (e.g. wayland-mesa-git)

@eldragon, update yaourt-git and retry, thanks

@karol_007
of course i used a PKGBUILD, otherwise it would not show as an installed package.

the line is
IgnorePkg = linux-git kernel26-lappy

and no, its not commented out.

you could test if you have the same issue. reinstall a package you have installed from aur, but edit its PKGBUILD and lower its version. then add it to your ignorepkg line and do yaourt -Syu --aur

Do you built it using a PKGBUILD?
Can you post that IgnorePkg line? It may begin with a '#' :P

at some point in time yaourt stopped honoring IgnorePkg from pacman.conf

i have my own linux-git package which i dont build from aur. but now yaourt tries to upgrade it even if its in my IgnorePkg line


is this expected?

posting here since im using pacman 4 + yaourt-git

@tuxce: I'd say it is discouraged or contrary to etiquette at worst, but not non-standard. Still, the wiki page "Arch Packaging Standards" is a bit vaguely worded on the use of custom variables, particularly on their use in variables that the AUR reads.

@dgbaley27, the old behavior was not intentional.
@misc, yaourt takes the version AUR gives. For those packages, versions are not standard.

chromium-browser-ppa, chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra-ppa get perpetually listed as "Software upgrade":

Locally installed as "15.0.871.0.99583-1"
Yaourt/PQ/AUR lists "15.0.871.0~%~*}.svn20110904r9958"

I have two personal packages that are not on the AUR, so what was printed was:

Foreign packages: - 8 / 10

I don't see what you mean.
eg: Foreign packages: - 10 / 10
It checked the 10 packages listed in "pacman -Qm"
(or do I miss something?)

I kind of liked how previously when searching foreign package, it only counted up the number of packages in the AUR. Was this changed intentionally?

pacman_4 branch of the yaourt git repo works with pacman 4.0.0 (pacman-git).

:/ a regression in package-query-git...
fixed, please update it, thanks.

Old problem solved, Thanks! Reinstalled again and came through another issue:

$ LC_ALL=C yaourt -S lib32-libsigc++
/usr/bin/pacman-color -S lib32-libsigc++
error: target not found: lib32-libsigc++

Update again, thanks.

I reinstalled today (september 05) and got this weird behavior:

$ LC_ALL=C yaourt -Syua
/usr/bin/pacman-color -Sy

I've just had two parallel runs of yaourt (in two urxvtc, i. e. urxvtd clients), one properly ending its install of a fresh chromium-browser-bin package, the other beginning to install mkclean. For the latter I got:

The git repo appears to be down.

Thanks, it's fixed

There appears to be a minor bug in the listing of certain updatable packages. For instance:

/usr/lib/yaourt/abs.sh: line 267: printf: `~': invalid format character
aur/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-nonfree-bin 12.0.716.0.79503-1 -> 12.0.717.0~

pacman 3.5 is in [core] now
or make yaourt-git downloable by pacman or upgrade yaourt

or make anithing you stime conbenient

yaourt -Syu double times synching the db

Assaf

No, it was a bug, fixed now.

Is it desired behavior that yaourt -Sb appears to imply noconfirm (that is, skips asking for an pkgbuild edit)? I don't think it should be.

When I use yaourt to install aur package, it will automatic install dependency, but, I think it should add --asdeps option to let the dependency package be installed.

Now it installs to /usr/bin. It must have been upstream :)

It works for me. You modified something in the PKGBUILD or Makefile ?

This just installed to /usr/local/bin :/

I don't understand, you talk about installing yaourt-git or about another package ? Is there any error message ? At least, can you give an example ?

Hi, arch=('any') do not compile for me, only if arch=('i686' 'x86_64).

forget my previous comment it has been a while since i have used linux(i never should have left, if only there were games) i just made a stupid mistake.

I installed package-query-git from the aur and when I try to install yaourt-git it claims that the dependency (package-query-git) is missing please help?

corrected, thanks

did You noticed the mis-typed warning? :)

I did not, but my friend drew my attention to it

( Unsupported package: Potentally dangerous ! )

By the way: yaour is my favourite pacman/aur frontend.

Thanks!

It's a git error, it normally shows commands to resolve it. (git config ...)
But in a default environment, you should have the necessary variables defined. (git var -l)

*** Please tell me who you are.

Can you please update the PKGBUILD according to new depends and optdepends (package-query-git and rsync), thanks.
