2011-10-16move manpage to section 8Dave Reisner1-150/+0
This is an admin command, not a config file. Signed-off-by: Dave Reisner <dreisner@archlinux.org>
2011-07-04manpage: clarify behaviors, add example, fix typosDave Reisner1-5/+13
I've neglected to do this along the way and some options, such as -k or -p now have additional behaviors that should be made known. Now that basedir support is legit, add an example showing a possible invocation. Signed-off-by: Dave Reisner <dreisner@archlinux.org>

2011-06-19add -t option to specify alternate build directoryDave Reisner1-0/+3
This requires some refactoring of how we handle TMPDIR declaration and creation, as well as protecting the way we do cleanup so that we don't error out when cleanup is called prior to TMPDIR being declared. We also add a shortcut to the build root based on the TMPDIR for convenience. Signed-off-by: Dave Reisner <d@falconindy.com>
2011-06-19overhaul output, introducing colorDave Reisner1-0/+3
Output style and coloring is borrowed from makepkg with minor adjustments. Most instances where we encounter fatal errors are replaced with a 'die' function to wrap this up neatly. In addition, we introduce the -n flag, for no-color. As a side effect, we need to source the functions file earlier so we have the output functions available earlier.

2011-06-16use bsdcpio to create imagesDave Reisner1-5/+2
This is a departure from using gen_init_cpio, which proved to be a huge bottleneck in performance. Tests for existance change from being a call to grep, to a simple shell test. In the process, we have to modify the behavior of the -s option, and we lose the -a option. Signed-off-by: Dave Reisner <d@falconindy.com>
