2018-03-14makepkg --packagelist: just list the built package files we will buildEli Schwartz1-2/+2
Currently this seems to be only theoretically useful. The most likely reason for wanting a packagelist is in order to script makepkg and derive the filenames for the packages we want to install or repo-add, but in the current implementation this requires a lot of additional post-processing which must be duplicated in every utility to wrap makepkg. - It is of minimal use to know what packages might get created on some other device utilizing a different CPU/OS architecture, so don't list them. - It is non-trivial to reimplement makepkg's logic for sourcing any of several makepkg.conf configuration files, then applying environment overrides in order to get the PKGDEST and PKGEXT, so include them directly in the returned filenames. - Output is delimited by newlines, for readability. For maximum parsing reliability, libmakepkg needs to learn how to lint the PKGDEST and PKGEXT variables to ensure they do not contain newlines, which will be submitted in a separate patch.

2017-09-13makepkg: respect $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to activate reproducible buildsEli Schwartz1-0/+16
If SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set, `touch` all source files between the (optional) prepare() and build() functions to unify the modification times. This works around build systems and compilers that embed the file modification times into the file contents of release artifacts.

2016-02-23makepkg: do not run prepare() with --noextractEvangelos Foutras1-5/+5
This is partial revert of 8454daa7feef (makepkg: run pkgver() and prepare() with --noextract). Reasoning for the reversion (copied from FS#43498): Running prepare() when --noextract is used no longer allows running 'makepkg -o && makepkg -e' with any PKGBUILD that applies patches in prepare(). [1] Sure there's --noprepare which restores the old behavior, but that's a lot of extra typing for what I believe is a much more common use of --noextract. For OP's use case of doing git bisects, you can specify the commit in the source array and thus skip --noextract since makepkg will checkout the correct commit each time. [1] I often extract the sources using 'makepkg -o', manually edit some source files, and then use 'makepkg -e' to package it (while possibly repeating the edit/package steps).

2015-12-15makepkg: run pkgver() and prepare() with --noextractAllan McRae1-5/+5
Modifications made to the source before running with --noextract may alter the version string returned by pkgver(). Always run this function if present and check build status before proceeding. Fixes FS#46800. Also run prepare() when --noextract is used (unless --noprepare is specified). Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2015-06-20makepkg: Add flag for printing SRCINFO to stdoutJohannes Löthberg1-0/+3
This commit adds a makepkg option to generate and print the SRCINFO file for a PKGBUILD, required by the new AUR, to stdout. AUR 4.0 will use Git instead of source tarballs for uploading packages, so making makepkg capable of printing the SRCINFO would simplify package management, instead of having to extract it from a source tarball. It is also useful for scripting other things, so that instead of having to parse PKGBUILDs, one can make makepkg generate the SRCINFO and then you can parse that instead, which is much simpler and less error-prone.

2014-08-04makepkg: skip dependency checking with --verifysourceAllan McRae1-1/+3
Dependencies are now handled with --nobuild unless specificially skipped. Using --verifysource will skip dependency checks unless --syncdeps is specified. Fixes FS#35057 and FS#36999. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2014-05-25makepkg: Force buildscripts to be in startdirAllan McRae1-1/+2
We expect all source file to lie in $startdir. However, using "makepkg -p <buildscript>" can currently allows people to specify buildscripts in other directories. This results in confusion about where other sources should lie (in startdir or in the directory that the buildscript is in). Explicitly disable using -p for files in other directories to avoid this issue. Fixes FS#40293. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2014-03-12makepkg: Add a --noarchive option to inhibit archive creationPierre Neidhardt1-0/+5
1. Packagers who want to test the package() function, i.e. to check the content of the pkg/ folder. 2. Developers who want to check how the packaged version of a program looks, in other words how the pkg/ folder looks. 3. For users of systems with no port tree, makepkg can ease package creation. However the resulting archive of the whole makepkg process is often useless. For all situations, makepkg will usually be called several times. But no archive (the final package) is needed in any cases. The archive creation ends up being a waste of time and resource, especially for big applications and slow machines. Since this option aborts the process prematurely, it behaves like the -o,--nobuild option, i.e. any other option acting on later stages in the process will be automatically discarded. For --noarchive, it means that in $ makepkg --noarchive --install the '--install' option does not do anything.
