Support other log items

[Morganamilo]

Would be nice if this program could support other actions such as commands ran and scriptlets ran. These don't fit into the table though so maybe these would go into a different view?

If this is implemented it would also be nice to filter by [PACMAN] [ALPM] and [ALPM-SCRIPTLET].

Parsing [PACMAN] and [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] logs with scala-parser-combinator isn't a problem. I can do it with a lot of code to add. The problem is, as you said, to show everything in a organised way. If you have any idea just hit me up. In the meantime i can try to start a feature branch with a better parser with a better interface, if you wish

[Morganamilo]

Looking at the log file maybe you could organise everything into transactions? Group everything between transaction started and transaction complete

[carlocastoldi]

I don't know... for the moment i'm a bit sceptical about it. I can't really see what kind of help this feature would add :/

[Morganamilo]

I was thinking have a separate view for transactions that would show each transaction, you could either go to that view and look through all the transactions or hit enter on a package on the main view and it would take you to that transaction.

I get it's a lot of work, just a suggestion.

P.S. Nice job on tagging a realise. I made the aur package get the version through that and added a non -git AUR too https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pacmanlogger/.

[carlocastoldi]

I'll certainly think about it. First off i want to finish with ALPM logs tho (i just pushed a release that introduced a SortBy menu. Now there are a few more feature i want to implement)

P.S. Yeah i guess that's that best way to organise things! Thanks for "forcing" me to do that, i need to learn it :)
On a side note: today a friend of mine suggested me to let you know to change the PKGBUILD to support future scala versions (at line 28, i think) & to change something to make the .sh run in a more protected environment (sorry, but i don't really remember what exactly he suggested me to change). Dunno how important it is but i guess it was good to let you know since you're far more experienced then me in these things

[Morganamilo]

Heh I'm not forcing you, I would do it myself but after seeing scala for the first time with my PRs here god I hate it, there's no way I could handle a big change like that.

When it comes to your friend, about building for any version he probably just means use * instead of hard coding the version in the package function. I don't know whats wrong with java -jar though or how it's insecure.

You'r friend is free to leave a comment on the AUR page or send a patch.
