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: Remove --asroot optionAllan McRae1-5/+0
The days of fakeroot being error ridden are long gone, so there is no valid reason to run makepkg as root. 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.

2012-11-27Add --needed option to makepkgwgiokas1-0/+4
Simply add the option to pass the --needed flag to pacman when using -i with makepkg. When using makepkg in scripts, particularly for git packages with the new version functions and not just a date, this can save disk io and time instead of reinstalling.

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>
2011-07-27makepkg: more control of skipping integrity checksAllan McRae1-2/+5

2011-07-27makepkg: Add support for verifying pgp signaturesWieland Hoffmann1-0/+3
Many projects provide signature files along with the source code archives. It's good to check these, too, when verifying the integrity of source code archives. Not everybody is using gpg so the verification can be disabled with --skippgpcheck. Additionally, only a warning is displayed when the key that signed the source file is unknown.

2010-12-30makepkg: Add check() function for running test suitesAllan McRae1-0/+7
A PKGBUILD can have an option check() function for running test suites between the build() and package() stages. This function is run by default but can be disabled globally in with "!check" in BUILDENV in makepkg.conf. This setting can be controlled on an individual package basis using makepkg's --check and --nocheck flags. Addition dependencies needed for running the test suite can be specified in the checkdepends array and are only checked when running the check() function.
