Then again, if I say
pye app-emacs/ecb
I get the following output:
| Code: |
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
0): [ebuild N ] app-editors/emacs-21.3-r2
1): [ebuild N ] app-emacs/elib-1.0
2): [ebuild N ] app-emacs/speedbar-0.14_beta4
3): [ebuild N ] app-emacs/eieio-0.17
4): [ebuild N ] app-emacs/semantic-1.4.4-r1
5): [ebuild N ] app-emacs/jde-2.3.3
6): [ebuild N ] app-emacs/ecb-2.21
Enter the numbers of packages you want to emerge or unmerge (in case of prune), comma-separated (you can also specify ranges, like 1,4-8,12 etc.). Alternatively, you can specify packages to be excluded from the list; for this, start your first item with an ! (e.g. !2,4,8). For all packages write 'a'. If you want to quit, press q:

So it appears to work?

dr_strange,
Right, I see the problem with my earlier message. Where I run into trouble is when I run
If I run this and select all and single, it goes through the entire emerge but leaves all my app-emacs packages untouched because of the problem with identical names between app-emacs and app-xemacs. Since I rely on emacs for a great deal of my work, it would be nice to be able to use pye to update the packages. For now, I am happy with pye as it is and I will just emerge my emacs progs individually with just a simple emerge command.
Thanks again for your script and recent reply.

First off, let me congratulate you on your wonderful work.
Last night I began an emerge -e world to recompile my system with new CFLAGS, only to awken to a failed emerge. I had completely forgotten about a problem with DCTC and the sys-libs/db-4.1.[whatever] dependancy. Hopping on #gentoo someone pointed me to your pye script, but I have one problem with it: I can't read all the output.
After issuing pye --resume (which performed beautifully, aside from the output scroll, hehe) I was presented a list of !210! packages, needless to say, I couldn't read the first few. My buffer only goes back to the 13th entry, I'm missing the first 12... and I can only assume the 1st is the failing package.
I initially planed on using "emerge --resume --skipfirst," but when I issued an "emerge -pv --resume --skipfirst" it appeared as though the package I wanted to be skipped wasn't the first package in the --resume tree; so I turned to pick your emerge  .
Perhaps an script option like --pause=[number] that allows the user to specify the number of lines to output before pausing? If I wasn't bogged down with midterms I would learn python and try writing it for you. But, alas, I've got a lot of work to do... wow... I really do, crap, I need to get going!

Well... I haven't encounered this prob yet, yesterday I tried the pye prune option, it gave me some 915 packs, and I could go back to the first no prob. But I will think of your suggestion.

| Posted: Wed Mar 17, 2004 6:23 am Post subject: pye.py fails when a package name is ambigous |
|
|
I think I'm using the latest version of this great script (I firrst tried it 3 days ago).
Until now everything went flawless - as I mentioned it's a great script! javascript:emoticon('')
But today I just
-ed,
and then the
gave me this:
| Code: |
/home/bzs #: pye.py -uUD world
One moment...
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating world dependencies ...done!
0): [ebuild U ] sys-fs/devfsd-1.3.25-r8 [1.3.25-r5]
1): [ebuild U ] net-www/netscape-flash-6.0.81 [6.0.79]
2): [ebuild N ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.4.26_rc3
3): [ebuild U ] dev-java/ant-1.6.1-r1 [1.6.1]
4): [ebuild U ] dev-java/ant-optional-1.6.1-r1 [1.6.1]
|
So I excluded the kernel (with !2), and then try the "mass" emerge but I got the following message:
| Code: |
I'm about to emerge the following packages: devfsd netscape-flash ant ant-optional
Is this correct? Choose an option: m(ass-emerge)/s(tep-emerge)/n(o)/h(elp)/q(uit): m
Calculating dependencies |
!!! The short ebuild name "ant" is ambiguous. Please specify
!!! one of the following fully-qualified ebuild names instead:
app-vim/ant
dev-java/ant
|
Could You improve your script? javascript:emoticon('')
And cheers from Hungary to dr_strange javascript:emoticon('') |

Szia!
Yes, as you are not the first to observe this problem, I will change the script so that the package list also contains categories.

Okay, I - hopefully - fixed the ambiguous packagename issue. It is up as 0.8.3
Please test it and tell me if something's wrong.

dr_strange,
I now get the error...
| Quote: |
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pye", line 168, in ?
merged = mergethis(elem)
File "/usr/bin/pye", line 42, in mergethis

IndexError: list index out of range
|
After I try to run the script (version 0.8.3). What do you suspect is happening? BTW, it worked like a charm before I updated the pye script except for the package ambiguity problem. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance....
Whoops, a bit more information is necessary. I used the command:
and it emerged the first app but then returned the error above. I also tried it with a single package:
and it emerged the package but then returned the error above. Hope this is a bit clearer.

| This is really useful. Shouldn't someone add it to a package like esearch? esync was added in that way. |

i had the following error message after emerging
the first package of pye -e world (step by step):
| Code: | Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/sbin/pye", line 168, in ?
merged = mergethis(elem)
File "/sbin/pye", line 42, in mergethis
package = package.split("/")[1]
IndexError: list index out of range |
i found a workaround, which is to specify the range
instead of selecing the 'a' (all) option; it seeme pye
did not like to calculate the range by itself or some-
thing. |

Thanks for that, I'll look into it.
I am currently trying to spice up pye with some sqlite backend and some extended info capabilities; I'll see if anything worthwhile comes out.
If there is anybody here interested and familiar with pyGtk pyGnome programming, please PM me, I have an idea I'd like to explore. Thanks.

Hi, first off, great script!
Some rough edges I've noticed... If one asks for help while being prompted if the packages are correct, they are shown the help, and then asked to entered the numbers all over again...
| Code: | I'm about to unmerge the following package(s): x11-themes/noia x11-themes/noia-warm x11-plugins/gkrellm-leds
Is this correct? Choose an option: u(nmerge)/n(o)/h(elp)/q(uit): h
Available options:
m - passes packages to be emerged as a list to emerge
s - emerges packages one by one, emerge not interrupted if a package fails
u - unmerges package(s) if prune was given as argument to pye
h - this help
q - quit without emerging
Enter the numbers of packages you want to emerge or unmerge (in case of prune), comma-separated (you can also specify ranges, like 1,4-8,12 etc.). Alternatively, you can specify packages to be excluded from the list; for this, start your first item with an ! (e.g. !2,4,8). For all packages write 'a'. If you want to quit, press q: u
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pye", line 144, in ?
packlist.append(pkgdict[eval(num)][0]+"/"+pkgdict[eval(num)][1])
File "<string>", line 0, in ?
NameError: name 'u' is not defined
|
Ouch, well, that can be avoided in the future, continuing on... I spy with pye prune I've got two versions of a utility installed...I'm thinking pye won't specify the specific package version to emerge...
| Code: | --8<--
659): x11-plugins/gkrellm-leds-0.6.1
660): x11-plugins/gkrellm-leds-0.8.1
--8<--
I'm about to unmerge the following package(s): x11-plugins/gkrellm-leds
Is this correct? Choose an option: u(nmerge)/n(o)/h(elp)/q(uit): u
x11-plugins/gkrellm-leds
selected: 0.6.1 0.8.1
protected: none
omitted: none
--8<--
|
Arragh 
Whether you're interested in tweaking things like that or not, I thought I'd mention it... If Python wasn't new to me, I'd have a look, lol

it's totally up to the user what flags he/she uses with pye; the script only has -p built in

ok then excuse my mistake.....
i only saw the -U flag in your first version printed here
i have an automated update script which contains depclean, and a deep update so U would mean hell to me....

hi,
imho, if you call just "pye", the script calls "emerge -Up world", and when you agree it does "emerge -U world", right?
If that´s right, it´s maybe the wrong way, ´cause -U can really break some things. (for me, it did once - so i looked for this option in your script before running it )
For me, i changed it to -uD, so i get the up- AND downgrades AND the dependencies. |

No, pye anything just runs emerge -p anything; you should add any other flags yourself.

I ran into a problem with using "--verbose", where the check for "[" matched with the "[1]" referencing the overlay, from which the ebuild is taken. Then catpkgsplit somehow failed and I got an "Specific key requires an operator" error. So I just took out the check for "[".
Are there really any cases, where that one is needed? AFAICS the cat-pkg-ver string is followed by either " " or "\n" in all output variants of emerge -p.

I noticed that pye clutters the world file, because the args given to pye are only used for the -p cycle determining the packages to merge, not for the actual merge. Therefore the packages for things like pye --oneshot <some packages>, as well as pye --update --deep world are all emerged directly and added to the world.
The quickfix for this is to just hardwire "--oneshot" so pye never adds anything to the world.

EDIT: I've found another problem: Your script just gives category and package to emerge, because of this code (similar ones for the other options):
| Code: | elif emergethis in ['a', 'all']:
packlist = [v[0]+"/"+v[1] for v in pkgdict.values()] |
But, if I want to emerge another version, but the latest one (for example for SLOTted packages, I ran into this with gtk-), the version needs to be given to emerge. So I changed it to:
| Code: | elif emergethis in ['a', 'all']:
packlist = ["="+v[0]+"/"+v[1]+"-"+v[2]+"-"+v[3] for v in pkgdict.values()] |
The latest version of my modifications can be found here, if you're interested.
Note: I suppose, this breaks step-emerge, 'cause mergethis relies on the package only containing category and version. But, isn't it broken anyways? It just checks the intended version (which it calculates, so we're not even sure, if it is the one, the user has chosen) against the installed version. So for remerges of the same version it would return True, wether the emerge failed or not. I don't know much about Python, but couldn't you just check the exit code of emerge? |

I threw this together to keep a handle on progess of mass emerges. Thought Id post it, in case its helpful. I run it in a watch loop.
| Code: |
#!/bin/bash
tail -n40 /var/log/emerge.log |egrep "(emerge|sucess|termina)"
