This is very nice, but I wish it had more of yaourt’s features, like checking for updates for AUR packages.

Thats what it sounded like from the comments above, but I just wanted to make sure. Thanks for the great little app.

Transmutated,

this is blocked by versioning support but will be possible soon (I guess in a few weeks).

Is there a way to update all packages downloaded from AUR with paktahn with one command?

Hi Clifford,

does it help to remove $HOME/.paktahn ?

If not then create a file $HOME/.paktahn/config.lisp with the following contents:

(setf pak::*on-error* :backtrace)

Then run Paktahn again and send me the output.

I just installed paktahn and I seem to be getting an error. I searched for a program and it displayed the results, after that I tried to install the program it paktahn returned this:

==> System call error 2 (No such file or directory)

I’ve removed paktahn and then reinstalled it and then it returned this:

==> Cache “local” is out of date, refreshing.

==> System call error 2 (No such file or directory)

Am I doing something wrong?

Hamo,

thanks for your report.

This bug has been fixed in Paktahn 0.8.1 which will be released soon.

Maybe a bug:
I installed paktahn on my X86-64 system.When I install a package from aur,after building,an error occurs: XXXXX-i686.pkg.tar.gz could not open.
Why it is searching for an i686 package on my 64 system??

Have you started Paktahn as root?

Makepkg refuses to build packages when you’re root, which is a good thing.

You should use Paktahn as a normal user; it will invoke sudo as needed.

hello i get this error when I install a package

==> ERROR: Ejecutar makepkg como root es una MALA idea y puede causar
Daño catastrófico permanente a tu sistema. Si tú
quieres ejecutarlo como root, por favor, usa la opción –asroot.

==> Makepkg failed (status 1)

Please choose how you want to proceed:

[0-1] ==>

Any idea how to fix it?
