[HaikuDepot] add repository management functionality

[taos]

Using hrev47311 x86_gcc2, updated from nightly hrev47259 via pkgman.

Due to removal of wget from haiku.hpkg in hrev47295, it's no longer possible to build Haiku (in this case hrev47313) because not all packages can be downloaded:

DownloadLocatedFile1 /GIT/haiku/generated.x86gcc2/download/openssl-1.0.0l-1-x86_gcc2.hpkg

So far, I haven't been able to find a wget hpkg package in HaikuDepot.

The most likely cause there is that it's still going against the 47259 version of the repository. Does picking Tools -> Refresh Depots make a difference?

[taos]

No, unfortunately not, that's the first thing I've tried. Is there a way to find out where HaikuDepot is looking for packages? I know that there is a wget package for hrev47311 available in ​http://packages.haiku-os.org/haikuports/master/repo/x86_gcc2/by_hrev/hrev47311/packages/.

Edit: pkgman list-repos gives "​http://packages.haiku-os.org/haikuports/master/repo/x86_gcc2/5829ff2241f67813b48abcb7f514cba4834a18094827d715f0ef24b16d52f5b9"

We should probably add wget to the default development profiles anyway...

[umccullough]

Nevermind, I see it was added to the jamfiles. Not sure what the right component is for this?

[anevilyak]

I'm not sure if this would qualify as package kit or package daemon, it sounds as if the update process isn't also accordingly updating the target repository to the new revision, but I'm a bit less familiar with how that's actually handled on the back end.

[bonefish]

I don't know whether HaikuDepot has any repository management functionality yet. pkgman, however, does. pkgman --help to get an overview, pkgman <command> --help for help on a specific command.

[bonefish]

pkgman update does not change the configured repositories. Conversely, you should first update the repository URLs and then do the update/full-sync.

Try running:

pkgman drop-repo HaikuPorts
pkgman add-repo http://packages.haiku-os.org/haikuports/master/repo/x86_gcc2/current/

Replying to bonefish:

I don't know whether HaikuDepot has any repository management functionality yet.

Currently the former's functionality is limited to being able to issue BRefreshRepositoryRequests for the list of repositories that are returned by the package roster, it doesn't yet implement any of the requisite back end to manipulate said list.

Replying to waddlesplash:

Try running:

pkgman drop-repo HaikuPorts
pkgman add-repo http://packages.haiku-os.org/haikuports/master/repo/x86_gcc2/current/

Wouldn't that mean always using the latest repository regardless of revision I'm actually using?

Instead of "current" I've added "by_hrev/hrev47313" (the revision I've upgraded to). pkgman update updates a number of packages that have been changed since the latest nightly (openssl for example).

[system] Applying changes ...
[system] Changes applied. Old activation state backed up in "state_2014-06-04_21:40:14"
[system] Cleaning up ...
[system] Done.

After system changes have been applied and, in HaikuDepot, depots have been refreshed a wget package can be found and installed.

Um, Luroh -- try rereading the ticket history please :)

[luroh]

waddlesplash: the ticket describes why taos was not able to find the wget package merely using HaikuDepot due to yet missing functionality. Granted, it could do with a better summary.

There's now Brian's nice Repositories preferences. Also available from HaikuDepot's tools menu with "Manage repositories".
