Re: How to detect filename conflicts with uninstalled ports?
Charlie Kester wrote: But I expect these two find greps will detect the majority of filename conflicts. Unless someone has a better recommendation, I'll settle for less than perfect. Using a MANIFEST file for packages works, if you have one available. It's simply a file listing of the contents of each and every package.

Finding files in packages (MANIFEST)
For PackageKit's app-install, I wanted to list all
ports/packages that had a .desktop file (= an app).
This ended up in a large number of false positives,
since there is no list of the contents of each package.
So the brute-force method is to download *all* of them.
For Slackware, which also uses tarballs for packages,
it was easier because they also make a MANIFEST file
available in addition to the FILE_LIST (= ls -lR)...
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/slackware/slackware64-13.1/slackware64/FILE_LIST
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/slackware/slackware64-13.1/slackware64/MANIFEST.bz2
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/slackware/slackware64-13.1/slackware64/PACKAGES.TXT
Would it be possible to make such a file available
for FreeBSD Packages too ? (maybe even both of them)

PS. Here was the simple script I used to create mine:
#!/bin/sh
MF=/tmp/MANIFEST
for tbz in All/*.tbz
do
echo $tbz
echo ++ ${MF}
echo || ${MF}
echo || Package: $tbz ${MF}

PackageKit wants the index pre-generated in SQLite form anyway: https://github.com/hughsie/app-install i.e. it wants a SQL table with all the desktop files and their translations and a tarball with all their corresponding icons... So after screening the list of packages, it would still have to download each of them to extract the .desktop and (48x48) .png so I wanted the list of ports to match the packages available. Mostly since I didn't want to have to build every port first. Just thought the MANIFEST could be generated with the packages ? That way you wouldn't need to install the ports collection first. Even better would be if the app-install data would be created too, but that might be a taller order and could just go in a port/package. --anders ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
