pye - "pick your emerge" script

Message

An option for *excluding* would be nice, like "emerge everything but foo-misc/bar". Could be done by specifying -<number> on input. At least, that's what I would need...

Regards,
Alexander

Good idea. I'll do it.

dr_strange · Post by **dr_strange** » Tue Feb 17, 2004 8:56 pm

Well, I have updated the script again. Now you can specify packages to be emerged (1,3-6,11,13-23) OR packages to be excluded from the list (!3,6-9,11).

Use at your own risk...

Is'nt

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin

the right place?

Funny thing is, is that was pretty much the same reason that I thought of it. I had a long list of updates and didn't really feel like entering in a bunch of numbers either. So yeah, I do believe you

Anyway, great job, and I like the exclusion option too.

Nice work -- kudos from me.

Not being a python person (except for 'Monty' that is) I wonder if anybody has figured out a way to get emerge to save important error messages during an emerge -u world before they fly off the top of the screen to be lost forever! If emerge keeps an error log it's new to me.

You can use a prog called "script", just type "script" in a terminal before do your emerge.
Script will create a file called typescript, with all terminal output.
Not exactly what you looking for, but a good solution IMHO.
Another way is use the follows command:

Code: Select all

emerge -up word  2>&1 | tee -a /where_you_want_place_your_log/emerge.log

(not tested with pye, but will be wonderful if dr_strange can implement this feature)
cheers

There is /var/log/emerge if you specified it in make.conf.

hmmm, i found a problem running this script...
it seems that every packet that pye gives you to choose from gets added to my world file... what i don't always want off course...
i mean, let's say i want to do an emerge of xine-ui and it wants to emerge xine-lib also (cos of the dependency)... now when i do this using 'emerge xine-ui' only xine-ui gets added to my world file, what i want...
but if i do pye xine-ui and then select all numbers both files get added to my world file.....
could something be done that this behaviour doesn't occur..?

dr_strange · Post by **dr_strange** » Fri Feb 20, 2004 10:31 am

I do not really understand what you mean but all this script does is to match the package names to the selected numbers, then calls 'emerge' with this list of packages appended.

CaribbeanKnight · Post by **CaribbeanKnight** » Sat Feb 21, 2004 4:34 am

yes, i know and that's where the problem i'm describing lies... the fact that your script calls an 'emerge' for every package in the list causes that every packet on that list is added to the world file... and that's not how it's supposed to work, normaly, if you emerge a package with emerge it only adds that package to the world file, not the packages it's depending on...
see what i mean..?
i allready thought about adding '--oneshot' to the emerge command in your script, but then it never adds anything to the world file, but that's not what i want either...

dr_strange · Post by **dr_strange** » Sat Feb 21, 2004 2:43 pm

New version is up. Changes:

- previous versions did not catch blockers at all. Now they are filtered and printed.
- up to now -Up was always implied. From now on pye is simply a wrapper around emerge, so you can pass all options that emerge accepts, so pye -up system or pye -Up world or pye -p gnome all are okay. Or maybe I think I'll hardwire -p into the script, to avoid errors.

Hm. Maybe I should hack this right into emerge? Like emerge -x world, and you get a numbered list...

deadaim · Post by **deadaim** » Sat Feb 21, 2004 3:22 pm

dr_strange, perhaps you can fix CaribbeanKnight's problem by adding --oneshot as an option and then editing the world file appropriately.

BTW, great script! I love it!

dr_strange · Post by **dr_strange** » Wed Feb 25, 2004 10:37 pm

There is a new version up on dev.gentoo.org/~strangedr

Changes:

- the script now recognizes the following options when confirming the list of emergeables:
's' as "step-emerge"; this calls emerge separately for each package given. The advantage of this is that the whole emerge chain is not broken if a package fails. At the end it gives a digest of what has been emerged and which packag(es) failed. TODO: check if a package is a dependency of a previously failed package and skip it altogether.
'm' as "mass-emerge"; emerge is given a list and emerges in one batch, as in previous versions of the script. Use this if you are confident nothing will fail.

- some small changes in code to use some portage functions

well, I tried to run "pye -Dupv world" and always get the following errors:

1. entering "!6" (to emerge all but 6)

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./pye.py", line 100, in ?
packlist = [pkgdict[item][1] for item in totallist if str(item) not in packnumlist]
TypeError: unsubscriptable object

2. entering "0-5,7-8" (to emerge all but 6)

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./pye.py", line 106, in ?
packlist.append(pkgdict[n][1])
TypeError: unsubscriptable object

wtf?! :-)

hm. i like it, but it's becoming a bit confusing;
especially the multiple help-outputs mentioned
in the script.

Very cool. I was looking this exact thing a while ago. Thanks.

I found the pkg which causes problems:

pye -Dupv world wrote: 3): [ebuild N ] sys-kernel/grsec-sources-2.4.25.1.9.14 -build 0 kB

maybe it's something with the version number that confuses pye...

wschlich: I think I have found the bug, please try it again.

It was not the version number, there was a bug in the parsethis() function. It looked for a [] tag of the previously installed version, but of course for a N version there is no such tag.

works :) thanks.

btw., it would be nice to have pye versioned so that people know something has changed etc.

dr_strange · Post by **dr_strange** » Thu Feb 26, 2004 8:11 am

Yes, it seems so. When I started it, I did not envision it would grow this much...
