2018-05-14Remove all modelines from the projectEli Schwartz1-4/+0
Many of these are pointless (e.g. there is no need to explicitly turn on spellchecking and language dictionaries for the manpages by default). The only useful modelines are the ones enforcing the project coding standards for indentation style (and "maybe" filetype/syntax, but everything except the asciidoc manpages and makepkg.conf is already autodetected), and indent style can be applied more easily with .editorconfig Signed-off-by: Eli Schwartz <eschwartz@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2014-01-28Remove ts and sw from vim modeline when noet is setFlorian Pritz1-2/+2
Forcing vim users to view files with a tabstop of 2 seems really unnecessary when noet is set. I find it much easier to read code with ts=4 and I dislike having to override the modeline by hand. Command run: find . -type f -exec sed -i '/vim.* noet/s# ts=2 sw=2##' {} + Signed-off-by: Florian Pritz <bluewind@xinu.at> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2011-12-22include config.h via MakefilesDave Reisner1-2/+2
Ensures that config.h is always ordered correctly (first) in the includes. Also means that new source files get this for free without having to remember to add it. We opt for -imacros over -include as its more portable, and the added constraint by -imacros doesn't bother us for config.h. This also touches the HACKING file to remove the explicit mention of config.h as part of the includes.

2011-07-28Unify modelines in Asciidoc filesDan McGee1-1/+1
This gets us close to using the same modeline in all files we run through Asciidoc, as well as adding the spell and spelllang declarations, just as we had in NEWS already. The choice of 'en_us' is mainly for consistency and because the body of work already uses these spellings. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-03-21Style change: return(x) --> return xDan McGee1-4/+4
This was discussed and more or less agreed upon on the mailing list. A huge checkin, but if we just do it and let people adjust the pain will end soon enough. Rebasing should be relatively straighforward for anyone that sees conflicts; just be sure you use the new return style if possible. The following semantic patch was used to do the change, along with some hand-massaging in order to preserve parenthesis where appropriate: The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows, although some hand-massaging was done in order to keep parenthesis where appropriate: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression a; @@ - return(a); + return a; // </smpl> A macros_file was also provided with the following content: Additional steps taken, mainly for ASSERT() macros: $ sed -i -e 's#return(NULL)#return NULL#' lib/libalpm/*.c $ sed -i -e 's#return(-1)#return -1#' lib/libalpm/*.c Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2008-08-23fix HACKING asciidoc file.Xavier Chantry1-18/+18
The HACKING file seemed to be broken : http://archlinux.org/pacman/HACKING.html And indeed, running asciidoc HACKING issued a number of warnings : WARNING: HACKING: line 27: missing [paradef-default] C-style entry type: numbered : expected 1 got 3 WARNING: HACKING: line 44: list item 3 out of sequence WARNING: HACKING: line 49: missing [paradef-default] C-style entry type: numbered : expected 2 got 4 WARNING: HACKING: line 62: list item 4 out of sequence type: numbered : expected 3 got 5 WARNING: HACKING: line 69: list item 5 out of sequence type: numbered : expected 4 got 6 WARNING: HACKING: line 75: list item 6 out of sequence type: numbered : expected 5 got 7 WARNING: HACKING: line 83: list item 7 out of sequence WARNING: HACKING: line 104: missing [paradef-default] C-style entry WARNING: HACKING: line 116: missing [paradef-default] C-style entry WARNING: HACKING: line 126: missing [paradef-default] C-style entry I just followed the syntax example there : http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/userguide.html#X56 And all is fine now :) Signed-off-by: Xavier Chantry <shiningxc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

Add some hints so we can use asciidoc on the HACKING document. It is still readable as text, but a simple 'asciidoc HACKING' command will give you a nice pretty guide now. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2007-03-05This commit looks much more monumental than it is. Almost all just #includeDan McGee1-2/+32
reordering and adding ones that were forgotten (noticed when trying to compile after reordering). * Updated the HACKING file to include information on #include usage. * print -> vprint in "making dir" function in pactest.
2007-02-26* Added a small note to HACKINGAaron Griffin1-0/+3
* Moved re-pacman to contrib/ as it's probably not as useful as the other stuff in scripts/
