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

I've noticed pkgcore mentioned a couple times in this thread. Is it possible to use pkgcore with this update script instead of emerge? I've glanced at the script and I see a variable '$resolver' with a reference to pkgcore and palaudis. I tried setting 'resolver="pkgcore" in /etc/update, but that didn't work.

On Griz's version from the front page, it looks like some messages slip through the filter for libtool.

I'm guessing it's not by design, so I'm reporting it.

Oops, sorry deefster, I posted updated version online (try !update in #friendly-coders or in pm to bot [no ! req'd]) but you can't browse that directory from web, and I've been offline in terms of Gentoo for a while (Gentoo politics wrt asshat {ex,}devs can be bad for your career..;) so didn't get the version on here updated. TBH I thought it was in the 0721 version I first put on the bot. My bad, apologies: normal service is now resumed.. ;-)

@drescherjm: None of us use bash-completion, so if you want it done, you're gonna have to come online and "play the client" or it ain't gonna happen. From what I've seen it should be simple since Gentoo has bash-completion helpers, and in any case we simply want it to use the same formulation as emerge (minus --long-opts). Give time to get time or wait til someone else feels motivated to put in half an hour.. ;-)

Hmm that one wasn't very good.. new version should be much more stable (there were some unmask fixes plus an adjustment to toolchain so it does python before portage/pkgcore, or w/e the PM-deps are set to; for paludis I have no clue, so if you use it let us know.) Some other minor fixes I'm sure, but overall it seems to be working a lot better. Famous last words.. ;p

HTH.

PS: deefster can you edit your post so there's less libtool cruft filling the page? ta :-)

@steveL

done.

On a separate topic, I read somewhere that update supports (or will support) update-live-ebuilds. Is that true? If so, what are the flags to spawn update-live-ebuilds?

Ta deefster.

cool, it works
I had tried it before, and it wasn't calling update like I thought it should. I believe the issue was that I hadn't been using update when I originally installed the live ebuilds, so it defaulted to the original program (emerge).
I ended up setting FORCE_DEFAULT_EMERGE_PROGRAM in ule.conf

Bugfix, should be more stable wrt to USE flag editing.

I'm getting a strange bug with checkType failing, I think this might be due to the dropCache setting (trying with it at 0 now) so if you have any issues with packages suddenly being skipped (you'll see a debug output with checkType in red) try setting dropCache=0 in /etc/update.

I've noticed an issue with GLSA not picking up changes. It lists applicable GLSA's then reports 0.

Is this a known issue?
Version=0.1.4.0_pre3

The update script has been pushed to a git server

git clone git://weaver.gentooenterprise.com/update.git

A trac's to capture bugs and request is being setup at the moment to aid in tracing bugs and bug resolving
http://weaver.gentooenterprise.com/update

When I/we/them/??? get around it an overlay might also get made to capture this and a few other projects

Source files have all been moved to this directory: http://weaver.gentooenterprise.com/src/update/ which is browseable in case you need to try an older version or want to check what the latest one is.

steveL · Posted: Thu Sep 04, 2008 8:47 am Post subject: Bump ;)

Fix for bug #1 Yay we have a trac :D
Bug reports should be filed here for better management and collaboration: http://weaver.gentooenterprise.com/update/

Keep telling us stuff you'd like, etc in this thread, if you're not sure how to frame it as an enhancement, or you just want to chat about it first. Positive feedback is good too ;p

Yes we know portage 2.2 support (eg --jobs) could be better, but we're trying to get all the features so far working; at least -C (--depclean) is functional finally and I haven't forgotten the tmpfs thing, Pol.
We'll probably do a rewrite for 0.1.5 to fully exploit portage 2.2, since --keep-going means we shouldn't need the continuation algorithm anymore.

edit: doh! it's -C for depClean and -A for glsA

Thank you very much for the always ongoing development & improvements!!!

Even using stable portage it's a pleasure to have update helping me keep the system clean & lean ;-)

Best regards

Thanks very much swimmer, that kinda comment makes it much more fun to code :D

Feature request to capture and print out the output from portage when a package has fetch restriction.

Hmm if it's not doing that already it's a regression deefster; that functionality has been in it from near the beginning (first page of thread.) Please file a bug and it won't get forgotten.

Hi,

I use cfg-update together with update, and it has been working very good for quite a while, but now I always get the below message after update has run revdep-rebuild:

Hi,

I did the change and run it, but of course there were no config files to be updated, so I don't know if it works.
One strange thing though is that cfg-update is located in /usr/bin:
