Install instructions:

Detailed instructions are on the repository's homepage. There you can find the details about the hooks and scripts, too.

Here is a sample /etc/paludis/repositories/paludis-extras.conf :
Code: Select all
```
# CHANGE THE LINES COMMENTED WITH # TO YOUR SYSTEM'S SETTINGS

# location = ${ROOT}/var/paludis/tepositories/paludis-extras
master_repository = gentoo
sync = rsync://paludis-extras.org/paludis-extras rsync://drzile.dyndns.org/paludis-extras rsync://server.guldbrand.net/paludis-extras rsync://ns-linux.org/paludis-extras/
cache = /var/empty
format = ebuild
importance = 10
names_cache = ${location}/.cache/names
```
NOTE: in the above example sync line can get wrapped in the browser. All sync servers go in one line.

For the first install do
Code: Select all
```
paludis -s x-paludis-extras
```
and paludis will do the rest by itself.

All the packages in the repository are ~arch. If you use stable branch, then you have to add the packages to your keywords.conf.

Do not bug paludis devs or gentoo devs about this repository!!!

NEWS:

Ask hook is updated (2.0) and doesn't include the wrapper script any more.
Wrapper script (0.1.0) is now a standalone package. It has modifications, too. I includded a new feature, --nice. The default nice value can be set in /etc/paludis/hooks/config/paludis-hice.conf, but can be overruled if used in command line.

Example

Code: Select all

paludis --nice 5 world

To install it just add nice to the PALUDIS_HOOKS use flags that you have in use.conf.

Code: Select all

* PALUDIS_HOOKS: -* ....  nice

If you use collision protect, you might have problems upgrading to a new wrapper script. A solution to this is to delete it and do the upgrade again.

Code: Select all

# if collision protect doesn't allow upgrade
rm /usr/local/bin/_paludis_wrapper.bash

Erm, I think some changes to the repo screwed up my paludis:

Code: Select all

Building target list...
Building dependency list...
Query error:
  * In program paludis -ip paludis-hooks:
  * When performing install action from command line:
  * When executing install task:
  * When adding PackageDepSpec 'app-paludis/paludis-hooks':
  * When adding package 'app-paludis/paludis-hooks-0.2.1::paludis-extras':
  * When adding build dependencies as pre dependencies:
  * When adding PackageDepSpec 'app-paludis/paludis-hooks-ask':
  * No versions of 'app-paludis/paludis-hooks-ask' are available

I was in the middle of installing a fresh gentoo when this happened.

try syncing again, or regenerating installable cache...

what's your paludis-extras.conf?

Did you make it install, later somehow?

If you didn't find a solution, then can you visit #paludis-exstras on irc freenode?

apberzerk · Post by **apberzerk** » Thu Mar 01, 2007 6:30 pm

Syncing again did not fix it.

Here is paludis-extras.conf:

Code: Select all

location = ${ROOT}/var/paludis/repositories/paludis-extras
sync = rsync://drzile.dyndns.org/paludis-extras/
profiles = ${ROOT}/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2006.1
eclassdirs = ${ROOT}/usr/portage/eclass ${location}/eclass
distdir = /var/paludis/distfiles
format = ebuild
names_cache = /var/empty
write_cache = /var/empty

apberzerk · Post by **apberzerk** » Thu Mar 01, 2007 6:31 pm

WOW. SOLVED. I AM RETARDED.

I didn't unmask it in keywords.conf.

apberzerk · Post by **apberzerk** » Thu Mar 01, 2007 6:39 pm

Wait wait wait, now I have confused myself. The error message that I posted earlier, which I fixed by unmasking the package, is not the one that was giving me trouble in the first place. Here's the real error message:

Code: Select all

Unhandled exception:
  * In program paludis --log-level qa --update-news:
  * When performing update-news action from command line:

it should be fixed ( just a few minutes ago)

apberzerk · Post by **apberzerk** » Thu Mar 01, 2007 7:03 pm

That did it, thanks! Hope the rsync server enjoyed my many syncs.

You can use the master_repository, too. Makes the conf file shorter... And changes are easier to maintain - for example moving distdir to a new location for all repos. Then you just change it for ex. in gentoo.conf and all other repos (that have gentoo as a master_repository) will have this changed, too.

It works ok either way. I just thought it would be cool to mention it.

No problem, it will survive -- the number of users is rising, but not soooo fast, that you couldnt do it a few times a day.
No restrictions, yet...

And thanks, for posting your errors -- I get an automatic reaction when I see your avatar ( shit, sth wrong again ), but i like feedback, so keep'em comming ..

Collision-protect hook upgraded.

Code: Select all

2007-03-02: ver 2.1 - Work around locale-related retardedness in the sort command.

apberzerk · Post by **apberzerk** » Wed Mar 07, 2007 12:43 pm

I'm back with another bug, yay! The _paludis_wrapper.bash script that comes with the ask hook is creating files names "0" that are 0B in size. These files are created in the directory from which I run paludis, and only occur when I pass the -a option AND select yes.

EDIT: Ok, it's not the script itself that does it. I commented out "exec $cmd" at the bottom and the file '0' was not created, so it's paludis itself that's creating the file when the ask option is on.

EDIT: Yup, definitely paludis, and not the wrapper script. The following causes the empty file to be created:

Code: Select all

PALUDIS_HOOKS_ASK=ask /usr/bin/paludis -i package

- Phil

Solved in version 2.1.

This 0 files were eating my nerves lately, too... It was a stupid typo...

I was just about to commit the update. Thanks for the bug reports.

zxy · Post by **zxy** » Wed Mar 07, 2007 1:40 pm

gentoolkit's revdep-rebuild -- updated. (20070308)

It's now based on gentoolkit-0.2.3 and revdep-rebuild has a new command, that was on a wishlist from IRC. If revdep-rebuild didn't have problems with package_mask.conf before, then you don't need the new command.

--edit--
20070308 fixed the problem when emerge was still called instead of paludis

zxy · Post by **zxy** » Thu Mar 08, 2007 2:32 am

Added new hook to paludis-hooks:

compress-man-1.0 - pdouble, truc

The hook compresses man and info pages if the package itself does not.

--------------
@apberzerk -- waiting for bugs ...

apberzerk · Post by **apberzerk** » Thu Mar 08, 2007 3:29 am

Installing now... gonna try breaking it shortly. By the way, is there a paludis replacement for module-rebuild? There's just a single line of code in it that needs to be changed from this:

Code: Select all

emerge --oneshot --nodeps ${tomerge[@]}

To something like this:

Code: Select all

paludis --preserve-world -i ${tomerge[@]} --dl-upgrade as-needed

zxy · Post by **zxy** » Thu Mar 08, 2007 9:48 pm

and line with portageq should be changed too i guess.... (I was looking at the diff for revdep-rebuild )

Would you be able to come to the IRC channel? Maybe we can do sth together. It's much easier there.

apberzerk · Post by **apberzerk** » Thu Mar 08, 2007 10:12 pm

Never used IRC before... I know, how sad.

Me neither until a few months ago. And it's fantastic for developing stuff, much more than forums (real time communication).

I have put the idea of yours there, too, so maybe sth will come out of it. I just need to get my nerve switched on, and then it might happen soon. Or maybe somebody else will contribute, too... We'll see. (You can send/post a patch or a patched version here, too

)

And if you change your mind about irc, feel free to drop by

apberzerk · Post by **apberzerk** » Fri Mar 09, 2007 12:18 am

Sounds good to me. I'll get on there when I have a chance. So are you the primary developer for all paludis-extras packages?

zxy · Post by **zxy** » Fri Mar 09, 2007 12:32 am

Well, there are more people involved. (mainly per-package

)
Anybody can join in with hooks or anything that's ported to paludis. Or with bug fixes, improvements etc.

That should be a "paludis --preserve-world -i ${tomerge[@]} --dl-deps-default discard".

apberzerk · Post by **apberzerk** » Fri Mar 09, 2007 3:44 am

Ah, yeah I didn't really know what to put there so I just guessed.

apberzerk · Post by **apberzerk** » Fri Mar 09, 2007 3:45 am

So, rather than fix scripts like module-rebuild with silly one-line changes, I'd like to have a wrapper for emerge that just converts the command into one for paludis wheneber it can.

hey, I'd just to learn how to use paludis, and (then) set this alias

Code: Select all

alias emerge="paludis --help"
