Ah, swamp fever, all starts to make sense. At least the etomology, not reason for the name.
I'd seem zxy's sig. that used to read Paludis support forum and thought it was some sort of charitable organisation. 
I finally got annoyed and thought what is this crap? I clicked and discovered an potentially crucially useful tool.
So much for obscure project names.

It really is a good package manager. I felt like experimenting a bit and have been very pleasantly surprised. I've been using it just a week, though.

I made a script that'll let you add layman repositories automatically to your paludis configuration. I really just copied the section that does the same out of the portage2paludis.bash script then made it so it wouldn't exit with error when you hit a pre-existing overlay. Also, I removed references to portage scripts (portageq) and replaced it with simply doing "source /etc/make.conf" which works well since layman uses that file (indirectly) and most people will probably be using that file as a configuration starter anyway.
So here it goes:
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
# This file is based on an excerpt from the portage2paludis.bash
# script Copyright (c) 2006 Mike Kelly <pioto@gentoo.org>
# The purpose of this file is to allow one to allow one to
# Add new repositories which may have been added through an
# external manager such as layman.
# It doesn't use any portage utilities other than sourcing
# /etc/make.conf to get the PORTDIR_OVERLAY variable to
# walk through the overlays that portage/layman would use
# FUNCTIONS #
# needs 3 params, value to test, var to show if true, var to show if false
# basically, acts like the ? ... : ... operator in C

paludis complains of a circular dependency if you try to install libwww-perl.
But AFAICT the actual circular dependency was fixed already.
Here's what I see:
If USE="ssl" then libwww-perl depends on Crypt-SSLeay. And it used to be that Crypt-SSLeay depended on libwww-perl.
So if you did "emerge libwww-perl" it would fail.
So they changed the Crypt-SSLeay ebuild to have libwww-perl be in the PDEPEND.
So now if I do "paludis -ip libwww-perl" I get
| Code: | Dependency error:
* In program /usr/bin/paludis -ip libwww-perl:
* When performing install action from command line:
* When executing install task:
* When adding PackageDepAtom 'dev-perl/libwww-perl':

* When adding build dependencies as pre dependencies:
* When adding PackageDepAtom 'dev-perl/Crypt-SSLeay':
* When adding package 'dev-perl/Crypt-SSLeay-0.51-r1::gentoo':
* When adding post dependencies as post dependencies:
* When adding PackageDepAtom 'dev-perl/libwww-perl':
* Circular dependency: Atom 'dev-perl/libwww-perl' matched by merge list entry 'dev-perl/libwww-perl-5.803-r1::gentoo', which does not yet have its dependencies installed (N7paludis23CircularDependencyErrorE) |
But if I do "paludis -ip Crypt-SSLeay" I get
| Code: | Building dependency list...

Paludis wants to permanently downgrade x1-libs/qt if I run paludis -ip world.
| Code: | These packages will be installed:
* x11-libs/qt-3.3.6-r4::gentoo {:3} [D 3.3.6-r5] cups -debug doc -examples -firebird gif -immqt% -immqt-bc% ipv6% -mysql -nas -nis odbc opengl -postgres sqlite xinerama <app-editors/kile-1.9.3::installed, app-misc/kheisereg-0.8::installed, 121 more>
Total: 1 package (1 downgrade)
|
As paludis has no "--tree" equvalent, I can not determine the package, which forced the downgrade; "--show-reasons full" isn't helpfull eigher, as it list many many packages without any further explanation...
Any hint? |

| Looks like something that's installed is depending upon that specific version for some reason. Nothing really I can suggest except to look through your installed packages for anything with a dep on a specific qt version. |

Since you seem to not want it to downgrade you should:
1) Note which version it's trying to install
2) Mask all versions less than or equal to that
Then when you go to do your upgrading script it'll fail but it'll pinpoint where the dependency is coming from. |

I created a page on my site, where I have put the scripts from this thread.
You can see and download the scripts here:
Paludis - scripts.
If you think something should be added PM me.
Zxy
--- EDIT ---
I would like to ask the authors of the scripts, that are and will be added to the page, if they could send me a (brief) description.
Thanks

Strange, masking with "<" and/or with "<=" didn't trigger any downgrade nor problem/warning/error message. So, as it seems the problem can be avoided by hard masking the downgrade candidate, it is not abvious, which package (or which config setting) triggered that behavior. With portage's emerge, "--tree" exposed the package.
Thanks for your tips. |

I have an idea.
What if an ebuild would be created, with all hooks, that were posted here.
It would be used like | Code: | | paludis -i paludis-hooks |
In /ets/paludis/use.conf you could then specify something like | Code: | | sys-apps/paludis-hooks eix collision-protect update-prelink-orphans |
or exclude some of course
| Code: | | sys-apps/paludis-hooks -eix collision-protect -update-prelink-orphans |
I could host the file, if needed. I'm not good at writing ebuilds, so I could use some help.
What do you guys think?

Good idea with the ebuild.
By the way. The hooks should be prefixed with a number, e.g. 10_, to declare the order of execution. |

To simmulate a "--ask" option, you can place a script /usr/share/paludis/hooks/install_all_pre/10_read-key.bash:
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
echo "Press any key to continue or CTRL-C to abort"

Belongs the idea with the ebuild for paludis hooks. Instead of using use flags, it would be great to use eselect to select any hook, just like bash-completion.
# eselect paludis-hook list
[1] install_all_pre : 10_read-key.bash : Read a key before installing
[2] install_all_post : 10_mail_me.bash : Email me a message about installed packages
[3] ...
(* for installed hooks)
# eselect paludis-hook enable 1
Enabled hook install_all_pre : 10_read_key.bash
# eselect paludis-hook list
[1] install_all_pre : 10_read-key.bash : Read a key before installing *
[2] install_all_post : 10_mail_me.bash : Email me a message about installed packages
[3] ...
(* for installed hooks)
You get the idea...
I can write ebuild, but never wrote an eselect script. Is this hard? What you think about the idea? |

It would be even better to check first for the command line option like --ask or -a. (I don't know how to do that)
And after 'read' command the script should then check if you pressed y or n.
But generally good idea. I was missing 'ask', but never did anything about it.

I don't think Paludis executes the hooks in any particular order. If it seems to do so on your machine, it might be because your filesystem is returning them in order, but it's not a good idea to rely on that.
Sounds like a good idea for a feature request, though.
EDIT: actually, I might be wrong about this. Best to test it, at least.

I don't think you can do that, but you could have an environment variable: | Code: | | PALUDIS_ASK=yes paludis -i ... |
or something.

This was just a simple but fast hack to accomplish the "--ask" behavior. With "emerge --ask" I always pressed just enter to continue, CTRL-C to abort, as entering 'y' or 'no' followed by an enter is/was to complicated (read complicated as 'slow'). |
