Determine Package Changes
Armh can use the Pacman log to determine changes in the set of installed packages (see caveats below). This can be useful for determining the cause of recent breakage:

It can also determine the full set of packages at a given date:
$ armh --date 2012-04-12 --show set
a52dec-0.7.4-6
aalib-1.4rc5-9
abcde-2.4.2-2

alsa-lib-1.0.25-1
alsa-oss-1.0.25-1
alsa-plugins-1.0.25-1
alsa-utils-1.0.25-2
...Of course, it can show URLs for such package sets:

...You could download these with e.g. aria2c, or you could
tell Armh to download the files itself:
$ armh --date 2012-02-28 --needed --download --dir oldpkgsInstallation history for specific packages can also be shown with the
--trace option.

Advanced Usage Examples
You could use Armh to download a set of packages to a directory then
run repo-add in that directory to create a snapshot
database. This will make it easier to manage dependencies with Pacman.
The --symlink option is useful in this case because it will
symlink locally cached packages while in the target directory to create
the target package set.
Signatures files are also downloaded when available and will thus be included in the snapshot database. Note that the signatures files may no longer be valid if the key has been revoked. There is nothing that can be done about this. It’s up to you if you want to trust the package at that point.
Remember that you can manually verify signatures with
pacman-key --verify.
Caveats
Pacman Log
Armh assumes that the Pacman log is complete when determining package sets. It works backwards through the log so you only need a log dating back to the target date, but not before.
Installation Reasons
Armh cannot determine which packages were explicitly installed at a
previous point. It’s up to you to figure that out. You can create a
cronjob to periodically store the output of pacman -Qqe and
then use that in the future.
TODO
- clean up code (it was hacked together in one sitting)
- maybe add options to generate scripts for package installation and repo creation
- contact ARM maintainer to discuss terser index file format (sent an email, no reply so far)
Help Message
$ armh --help
usage: armh [-h] [--date <date> | --days n] [--datefmt <format>]
[--show {set,changes,urls} | --search <pkgname> [<pkgname> ...] |
--download | --trace <pkgname> [<pkgname> ...]] [--sigs]
[--sort {name,version,date}] [--symlink] [--dir <dirpath>]
[--config CONF] [--logfile LOG] [--arch ARCH] [-q] [-y] [--needed]
[--ignore <pkgname>] [--color] [--table]
Pacman log parser and ARM helper for determining and retrieving previously
installed package sets.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--date <date> Determine the installed package set on the given date.
See the "--datefmt" option.
--days n Determine the installed package set n days ago, where
n may be a rational number.
--datefmt <format> The format of the given date as understood by Python's
strptime. Default: "%Y-%m-%d".
--show {set,changes,urls}
set: show the full package set at the given time.
changes: show changes between the current set and the
set at the given time ("+": installed, "-": removed,
"^": upgraded). urls: print a list of URLs to the
matching package files
--search <pkgname> [<pkgname> ...]
Search for old versions of the given packages.
--download Recache the packages for the determined set in the
output directory (see "--dir"). Packages found in the
Pacman cache will not be redownloaded.
--trace <pkgname> [<pkgname> ...]
Trace operations on the given packages between now and
the date given.
--sigs Include signature files when available.
--sort {name,version,date}
Sort hits.
--symlink When downloading, symlink cached packages in the
output directory. This is useful for creating repos
with repo-add later.
--dir <dirpath> Output directory for downloaded files. Set
XDG_CACHE_HOME to configure the location of downloaded
indices.
Pacman-esque:
--config CONF Pacman configuration file. Default: "/etc/pacman.conf"
--logfile LOG Pacman log file. Default: "/var/log/pacman.log"
--arch ARCH Target architecture.
-q, --quiet Emulate Pacman's "-q" option: suppress package
versions in output.
-y, --refresh Check for new ARM indices.
--needed Only include URLs for packages not in the cache.
--ignore <pkgname> Ignore given package names.
Formatting:
--color Colorize output (not implemented for all output
types).
--table Tabulate output (not implemented for all output
types).CHANGELOG
