package-management's Issues

Where can I suggest a package for solus?

I was trying to install pencil in solus, but had no success. Where can I suggest to include pencil as package in solus?

Update needed to apply latest changes?

Hello,

Catalan po file was added 6 moths ago and created even more time ago. It was merged into the main code alongside other corrections from another language. But, since then, I have not seen it applied on an installed system.
Do these changes need to reach the system through an update that has not been triggered yet?

Thanks,
David

Possible bug with eopkg search

Hi, it looks like as if there is an issue with eopkg while trying to search for certain packages containing a + in the name (like libstdc++, or even libc++). It seems to work with all of - * / % =, but not +

Issue happening with libc++ :

infrandomness@inftop /mnt/src/servo $ sudo eopkg search libc++ --debug
System error. Program terminated.
<class 'sre_constants.error'>: multiple repeat
Please use 'eopkg help' for general help.

Misleading documents

Since this project is forked from Pisi, it includes some documents from Pisi which are misleading in the context of eopkg. Please consider either updating them or removing them. Most offending cases are:

• INSTALL
• TODO

Also AUTHORS shall probably be updated to include Ikey and any other possible developers.

Update translations to correct errors.

Please, update pending modifications proposed half a year ago to correct catalan translation.

Old pisi name still present in some messages

eopkg suggests to run pisi in some messages:

filip@solus ~ $ sudo eopkg install npm
System error. Program terminated.
Repo item npm not found
Please use 'pisi help' for general help.
Use --debug to see a traceback.

By the way, is it known when npm package will be added to solus repo?

installation of local packages

it doesn't seem to be possible to install .eopkg files in the same way .deb files can be installed on Ubuntu-based distros.

I've been using Xubuntu for years without internet (can't afford it), so I've built up quite the database of .deb files...
so after finding out I couldn't install from that collection, I decided to look into downloading the eopkg files I needed.

but I wanted to note, not being able to install by double-clicking the file is keeping me from progressing on this latest installation of Solus 3. :/

man page missing some commands

While reading https://getsol.us/2018/09/11/package-repo-migration-now-available/ I noticed two commands I didn't know what the abbreveation meant:

sudo eopkg dr Solus
sudo eopkg rr Solus

So I tried to look them up via man eopkg but noticed, that neither disable-repo nor remove-repo are described in the man page. I only know the long commands from trying to execute the above commands.

Please check the manpage for implemented but yet undocumented commands.

Eopkg constanty times out and must be re-run

It is very difficult to update a Solus PC because of random error 503s. However, when I re-run eopkg I can download the package. Eopkg should be able to retry downloads of packages x number of times.

[Question] Post Install Actions/Scripts

I would like to add/modify post eopkg install actions to more suite my needs/wants.
Could you point me towards documentation or code responsible for this process?

I'm a Solus user running on a unsupported file system:

1. I would like to change the kernel update code to launch a script that supports my file system
2. I would like to take snapshots after every update to enable rollback (unless its possible to do it Pre Install)

I haven't been able to figure out whats the mechanism responsible for running these tasks.

Is this project no longer mantained?

Since latest pull request is from more than a year ago...

Repeated printing when output terminal is too small

When i tried to update packages today with "sudo eopkg up" i ran into an issue that repeatedly printed the download status oddly until i extended the width of the window, at which point it printed the status correctly again.

Using solus's default terminal.
My terminal size is 24 rows, 80 columns.
My screen resolution is 1600x900.

Suggestion about release naming

Hello there,

I'm the original author of PISI from Tubitak 2005/2006. I am maintaining the abandoned original development branch of pisi here:
https://github.com/examachine/pisi

The releases you are making is a fork of Pardus stable branch, however, it is not informative to make major releases of PISI as you like, you probably should instead call your branch "solus-1.x" "solus-3.x" or otherwise. Just a suggestion, but the planned pisi releases are 3.x and 4.x, and you've already named your releases 3.x. I know you have your own ideas about how you would like PISI to be, but you cannot simply adopt a package manager that is already developed by others and not abandoned, Pisi Linux is also maintaining releases off the stable branch, but this naming will be a problem.

Anyhow, I will name the development branch releases "devel-3.x" and so forth, and to avoid confusion with the "stable" branch, the new stable releases will be named something else, but here see this, you've already called your code "solus-project/package-management", you can use the pisi name in your tools if you like it so much, but if you release it like this it might be disrespectful to the original Pardus naming scheme where we had a stable and a devel branch. You are making major changes I get it, but as the original author, I might not agree with them, and they are not part of the roadmap I've had for the development branch. Please take this as a friendly suggestion to avoid naming clutter in the future. I would also be grateful if you acknowledged the original authors (there were 4 authors) properly -- future maintainers made a mess of all the code, including the AUTHORS and TODO files, which is why I discarded most arbitrary changes in the stable branch that crippled PISI libs. Anyhow, I think you'll find the original devel releases intriguing. And if you'd like to talk about what changes you are planning, just shoot me a message at gmail.

Kind Regards,

Dr. Eray Ozkural

remove pisi symlink

Please, remove the pisi symlink to pisi-cli in order to avoid any user confusion. If the official way is to call eopkg, only support that.

Solus lacks basic encryption capability encfs, luks-crypt, etc.

Solus has no basic encryption support other than may be with zip files with passwords.

http://www.cyberciti.biz/hardware/howto-linux-hard-disk-encryption-with-luks-cryptsetup-command/

In my Office I want to keep my documents encrypted, but solus has no encfs nor partition encryption.

Also there's no nfs support.

Please consider encryption support so that Solus could be used in workplace. Thank you.

evobuild in RAM

Is it viable to make a RAMdisk for the union/work directories so that all of that disk IO is avoided. It would reduce disk degradation and improve performance.

I searched about that but nothing founded.

this is my system detiles:

mab@mab ~ $ uname -a
Linux mab 4.20.16-112.current #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Mar 15 02:54:46 UTC 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux

how can I fix that?I used to install solus alongside win 10 and win 10 maked a 100MB EFI partition and now solus want me to resize it !! :S
Because of that I resized my windows efi partition but error still alive:

system.base fails to install

when trying to install system.base i get this error:
System error. Program terminated.
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'lib'

this also occurs (because of safety switch) when trying to install anything when the basedir does not have system.base.

You can work around it by installing baselayout with --ignore-safety.

steps to reproduce:
tmpd=$(mktemp -d)
sudo eopkg ar a https://packages.solus-project.com/unstable/eopkg-index.xml.xz -D $tmpd
sudo eopkg it -c system.base -D $tmpd
