@Lasp94 https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0x1D1F0DC78F173680 https://xyne.archlinux.ca/#signing-key It's also in the pacman keyring: pacman-key --export 1D1F0DC78F173680 > xyne.asc @Shebang Pacman's definition of a "foreign" package is anything that it can't find in the sync databases. If you are overwriting those files with new ones (with pacman -Sy, powerpill -Sy, yaourt -Sy, or anything else that updates them), then the sync database is temporarily unavailable (or at least incompletely). Running "pacman -Qm" in parallel will thus check empty/incomplete databases and report everything it doesn't find as foreign. Just break up the sync and download operations: $ powerpill -Sy $ pacman -Qm > foreign.txt $ powerpill -Su and replace "pacman -Qm" with "cat foreign.txt" in your script.

I can't verify your PGP signature! (unknown public key 1D1F0DC78F173680) Which server can I use for your key? edit: Thanks @Xyne for your answer, I had some problems not due to this package.

Hey, unsure how else to contact Xyne other than email so I'm reporting this here. Not an issue with the packaging, but upstream issue, and by no means a show stopper, just some odd behavior I've noticed. Issue: While powerpill is running, downloading packages, etc... Native pacman packages show up in pacman -Qm Steps to reproduce: 1. Type pacman -Qm to list non-native packages. Take note of packages in list. 2. Run powerpill -Syu 3. While it's doing its thing, type pacman -Qm again, it will now show a ton of native packages in this list 4. After powerpill completes, the non-native package query will run as expected. This affects me in a way as before powerpill, I'd download my AUR packages at the same time as the native packages but now must do so asynchronously instead of at the same time that powerpill is running.

@postadelmaga powerpill depends on python3-xcpf python3-xcpf depends on python3-memoizedb makepkg does not automatically resolve dependencies when installing AUR packages, but pacman will not let you install a package without them unless you explicitly disable dependency checks. You must have disabled dependency checks if you were able to install powerpill without python3-memoizedb. There are AUR helpers to automate dependency resolution, but until you figure out what you did I would recommend sticking to manual installation.

I have installed the packaged but along with it I didn't get `python3-memoizedb` I had to install this package manually from AUR ...

@yebenny Powerpill depends on python3-xcpf, which in turn depends on python-xdg. If you have installed the package correctly then the dependencies should be satisfied. You should never use pip to satisfy dependencies of pacman packages.

This package depends on pyXDG, but it was not listed in the dependencies. workaround: sudo pip install pyXDG

adding xyne's repos fixed everything after a `pacman -Syu`, powerpill is truly astounding on gigabit fiber

@thoth Python was upgraded from version 3.5 to 3.6. You have to rebuild all of your Python AUR packages to work with the new version. If you don't want to rebuild powerpill and its dependencies, you can use the repo on my site: http://xyne.archlinux.ca/repos/

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pm2ml' recently I've been getting the above when attempting to use powerpill (I think first occurrence was maybe Monday that I noticed)
