Update 0.1.4.0_beta10 [git] --toolchain, --perl

I think it would be useful to have MD5 checksums together with the source file (e.g. update-20080110 and update-20080110.md5, warning-20071019 and warning-20071019.md5, etc) in the main repository.

Nice script - I was wondering what the exact correct order of toolchain rebuild is? I'm trying to do something that takes care of that for paludis

Bleh just to let you know that update isn't dead (though I feel like it ;) I've been offline for a few weeks.

@Sysa: yeah when we get this version finished (bugs, depclean and bit more error-handling) we'll do an ebuild for sunrise.

@creidiki: If you haven't seen it check out Guenther's upgrade script which has a good discussion as well as emwrap.sh (both are mentioned by update if there's a X.Y.z upgrade for gcc.) Opinions vary, but you're looking at least at gcc, glibc, binutils, linux-headers; auto{hell} and the like come into it (considering upgrade) wrt full rebuild as well.
We have added hooks for paludis, but I don't know the options. Development version of script is kinda in flux atm, but it'd be cool to finish paludis support so we could compare and contrast (pkgcore seems to be working with it fine.)

@drescherjm: Never used it tbh; how would that work given that it's pretty much all short flags?

Anyhow, thanks for using it, sorry for hiatus. Should have a new version by next week.

OK, new version with improved toolchain handling for -e system|world|foo:
wget -O /sbin/update http://dev.gentooexperimental.org/~igli/src/update/update-20080430
Current MD5: a640aaa196a735f7e417a6ac2fa9438a

It's been streamlined internally so it should be more efficient. As ever, any bugs can be reported in #friendly-coders on irc.freenode.org if you want a quick response, or in this thread. Once it's been tested and debugged I'll put it on front page.

Blame creidiki for this one ;)

Anyone using portage-2.2 yet? I'm reinstalling laptop atm using update -e system; the toolchain handling is nice :D
Oh I added category exclusions using catx array in /etc/update (see update -h config). I think we need to update /etc/warning for baselayout and openRC too, since they need user attendance. If there's anything else that should go in there let us know.

edit: fixed a typo which meant post-install actions weren't getting run.
edit2: deglitching sometimes need quite tricky changes ;p
edit3: more bugfixes, should be pretty close now.
edit4: fix glsa option, thanks Mats.
edit5: changed it back to old one as 0505 was buggy; 0507 is below and does autounmask but needs work on USE editing (will be done soon.)

Hi,

I am using update version 0.1.4.0_pre and it works fine :-)

One question though...
It seems like execution of GLSA check has changed from -S to -A.

Oops sorry about that Mats. Try this one:
[edit: dead link]
edit: changed link as older one was much buggier (transition.) This version still needs work on USE editing (we changed the internals a lot) but does autounmask and has some of the lib code from work. We'll get this feature complete and working then start cutting the script back.
edit2: oops forgot to change md5.

steveL · Posted: Mon May 05, 2008 9:59 pm Post subject:

Oh BTW autounmask infinite loop is hitting me atm; quick workaround given by Marco Clocchiatti is, in /usr/bin/autounmask, at line 42:

steveL · Posted: Wed May 07, 2008 11:22 pm Post subject: autounmask from BASH :p

[edit: dead link]

USE editing has regressed, but this gets rid of need for autounmask (and dependency on perl) as I just couldn't get it working on amd64/core2. [edit this is fixed I had an old debug line in that skipped USE editing doh]

A good example is: update -ia xmonad # if you're not into haskell as that needs a couple of other things unmasked.
[If you do want to emerge it, I suggest you
echo dev-lang/ghc >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
..as well.]

Steve, thanks for your quick reply

Best regards, Mats

steveL · Posted: Sat May 10, 2008 1:49 am Post subject:

You're welcome Mats :-) Here's a better version, which does unmask (just did startkde-3.5.9 which was about 10 or 12 dependents as well) and USE editing is back.

[edit: dead link]

This is nearly done (I hope!) so once any UI changes are done, I'll post it to front page. Really need to do the error detection and check what's up with tmpfs. I'd like to finish cleaning up the backend some more as well, though my partner-in-crime reckons we should just switch it all over to the lib code. We'll see.

steveL · Posted: Mon May 12, 2008 4:08 am Post subject:

wget -O /sbin/update http://dev.gentooexperimental.org/~igli/src/update/update-20080512
md5sum /sbin/update
Current md5: 696359e55c0a6b104009e90cca36d65e

It's getting close to "release" (ie push to front page) so speak now if you found any bugs :)

Next version will be error analysis (and that tmpfs thing I feel bad about that, it's been on list for ages.) Then I need depclean and once that's working we'll call 0.1.4 done and move on to using lib code and focus on portage 2.2.

edit: portage d/l output changed.

Installed it and it works so far but spits out this error msg after installing all packages:

steveL · Posted: Tue May 13, 2008 12:24 am Post subject:

Hi swimmer, yeah noticed that today; version on front page (Griz's; same URL) has just changed; there was some USE glitching (barfed if you edit global USE, resolve then change it back) as well. Still has minor UI wrinkle: displays as changed when you just view the USE, but installing ok.

Also added short atom form for easy unmask; eg update -ia kview-3.5.9 (reinstalling machine it was doing my fingers no good typing kde-base over and over ;)

steveL · Posted: Sun May 18, 2008 1:09 am Post subject:

Bump bugfix was quite a bad one, due to new Merging and temp title stuff. There's a hard to trigger bug in USE editing which we need to sort out before we move on. Might be a couple of days.

I am still using my patched version of update 0.1.4.0_beta3b to support rebuilding libraries with unresolved symbols and I found that with this version I can not stop gcc from rebuilding even though I have it in my /etc/update

There exists an ebuild for this (and the warning's file). Am trying to get it into sunrise atm since there is no point manually fetching an ebuild for something like this

Hello,

as I accidentally deleted my /usr/share/apps folder, I wanted to emerge -e world.
Unfortunately, update -e does not work for me. I get the following output:

deefster · Tux's lil' helper Joined: 19 Apr 2004 Posts: 77

update version: 0.1.4_pre

update =app-emulation/virtualbox-additions-1.6.2

The install appears to hang. It is actually prompting to read and accept a license prior to installation.
A case like this is fairly rare, but I thought I'd report it just the same.

Also, a general feature request:
It would be nice to see the download progress that you get when using emerge.

I've been using this script since 0.1.3.2 and love it.

Thanks,
Darren

Just tried out latest update, SteveL. I really like the new feedback method - showing the currently-running build command is a nice compromise between being informative and eliminating cruft. Well done!

@StephenX: You have a buggy version of update. It has been repaired, and the link is updated. Try again

@drescherjm: Try update -h error. And isn't it about time you joined us on IRC? irc.freenode.net/#friendly-coders
@deefster: update does have a progress bar. Are you using axel by chance? We're a bit stuck on the vbox stuff and are looking for ideas.
@all: Sorry for the buggy versions. We should have the normal flow of things back on track soon.
