The update process was already partly parallel: repo, aur and devel
updates where each given their own goroutine.
This gives two further layers of parallelization. Firstly the
`needsUpdate()` function is now run in parallel for each package checked.
One package may have many vcs sources so `needsUpdate()` also checks all
of its sources in parallel.
This gives an aproxamte 3x speedup for `yay -Su --devel` timing from
when the command starts to when the number menu apears.
unfortunately git://bitbucket.org/volumesoffun/polyvox.git never
resolves on my machine for some reason so it always hits the 5 second
timout period.
It then moves on to http:/bitbucket.org/volumesoffun/polyvox.git/ which
does resolve as expected. I have not looked into it but I fear this
applies to all gitbucket repos. Luckly they are few and far between.
Adds the ability to pick which database to install a package from. This
is extended to also support for AUR packages. For example `extra/git`
and `aur/yay` should both work`. When not explicitly requesting
a database repo packages will be choosen over the AUR.
This features extends to yogurt mode, listings where a package shows up
in multiple database/the AUR is now handled.
The aur does not have a real pacman databse like core, extra ect. But
can be accessed as if was one with `aur/name`. Using Yay with a pacman
repository named "aur" is undefined.
Reformatted comments to have a space between // and the start of the
comment.
Added capital letters and punctuation.
Fixed most grammar and spelling mistakes.
Fixed date to yyyy/mm/dd.
Comments have been added to a couple of functions here and there
where I feel warrent some explanation. Hopefully this makes it a little
easier for people to contribute.
I commented on a couple of functions but my main focus is:
DepTree
DepCatagories
StringSet
Arguments
These are parts that have been mostly written by me and might seem
confusing without taking a while to study the code. Especially the first
two mentioned. They're a little complex, I'm not sure if they need to be
This is just how I came up with them. Hopefully helping other people
understand them will let them come up with improvments I did not see.
I'm not the best at explaining things but I did try my best here.
Add ( and ) to "installed" to match groups and out of date
Show popularity as well as voted in yogurt mode
Show download and install size in yogurt mode
Remove printing of white and black
Fix incorrect message on number menu
Yellow is now almost never used
Use `v` instead of `r` when printing version
show when a page was marked out of date on search and info
Instead of printing each warning on a seperate line, group up the
warnings by type (missing, orphan, out of date) and display each
group on its own line.
This commit mostly focuses on merging the install() and upgradePkgs()
functions to be more integrated. Instead of both making their own aur
queries they now both combine theyre needes into one query. This gives
us a speed up and allows us to easily print orphands, misising and out
of date in one clean block.
I have replaced the old install and dependancy algorithms with a new
design that attemps to be more pacaur like. Mostly in minimizing user
input. Ask every thing first then do everything with no need for more
user input.
It is not yet fully complete but is finished enough so that it works,
should not fail in most cases and provides a base for more contributors
to help address the existing problems.
The new install chain is as follows:
Source info about the provided targets
Fetch a list of all dependancies needed to install targets
I put alot of effort into fetching the dependancy tree
while making the least amount of aur requests as
possible. I'm actually very happy with how it turned out
and yay wil now resolve dependancies noticably faster
than pacaur when there are many aur dependancies.
Install repo targets by passing to pacman
Print dependancy tree and ask to confirm
Ask to clean build if directory already exists
Download all pkgbuilds
Ask to edit all pkgbuilds
Ask to continue with the install
Download the sources for each packagebuild
Build and install every package
using -s to get repo deps and -i to install
Ask to remove make dependancies
There are still a lot of things that need to be done for a fully working
system. Here are the problems I found with this system, either new or
existing:
Formating
I am not so good at formatting myself, I thought best to
leave it until last so I could get feedback on how it
should look and help implementing it.
Dependancy tree
The dependancy tree is usually correct although I have
noticed times where it doesnt detect all the
dependancies that it should. I have only noticed this
when there are circular dependancies so i think this
might be the cause. It's not a big deal currently
because makepkg -i installed repo deps for us which
handles the repo deps for us and will get the correct
ones. So yay might not list all the dependancies. but
they will get installed so I consider this a visual bug.
I have yet to see any circular dependancies in the AUR
so I can not say what will happend but I#m guessing that
it will break.
Versioned packages/dependencies
Targets and dependancies with version constriants such
as 'linux>=4.1' will not be checked on the aur side of
things but will be checked on the repo side.
Ignorepkg/Ignoregroup
Currently I do not handle this in any way but it
shouldn't be too hard to implement.
Conflict checking
This is not currently implemented either
Split Paclages
Split packages are not Handles properly. If we only
specify one package so install from a split package
makepkg -i ends up installing them all anyway. If we
specify more than one (n) package it will actually build the
package base n times and reinstall every split package
n times.
Makepkg
To get things working I decided to keep using the
makepkg -i method. I plan to eventually replace this
with a pacman -U based method. This should allow passing
args such as --dbpath and --config to aur packages
aswell as help solve some problems such as the split
packages.
Clean build
I plan to improve the clean build choice to be a little
more smart and instead of check if the directory exists,
check if the package is already build and if so skip the
build all together.
This reimplemens all operations yay previously supported:
'-S' 'Syu' 'Si' ect.
Currently the argument objects are not fully implemented with the code.
Theres alot of funky conversion from
argument object -> pkg, flags -> argument object
This is to just get back to the functionally we had before (almost).
I have not looked into it yet but alot of the time pacman flags get
passed to makepkg. this cases an error for most commands now because the
new system Passes all flags:
`yay -Syu` -> flags = '-S' '-y' '-u'
while the old system would have done:
`yay -Syu` -> op = '-Suy', flags = ''
So extra flags are no longer passed at all currently.
This means:
'yay -S aic94xx-firmware --noconfirm -b /tmp/pacutilesu2q6hw/tmp-pacman -d'
will no longer error and 'aic94xx-firmware' will be installed but the
database path change will not apply and the dep checking will not be
skipped.
passToPacman now takes and argParser as a paramater. And is implemented
for the simple cases in cmd.go. Although passToPacman is now left non
working in places which still try to usr the old call format and will
need to be reimplemented.
