2014-03-12makepkg: enforce fakeroot usageAllan McRae1-4/+1
Packaging outside of fakeroot can result in incorrect permissions for package files. It has been years since fakeroot issues during packaging were common, so it is safe to enforce fakeroot usage. If using fakeroot is impossible for some reason, a two line wrapper script will suffice to fool makepkg. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2013-11-08makepkg: only remove static libraries if they have a shared versionAllan McRae1-1/+1
It is fairly common that packages contain static libraries with no shared counterpart. These should not be removed with !staticlibs. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2012-12-14Added LOGDEST variableWilliam Giokas1-0/+5
Places logs in a pre-defined location. The logs are always neatly labeled with package names and numbers, and this way can be more easily sent to network shares as they are written or compressed/cleaned en masse.

2012-11-27makepkg: add option to include debugging compiler flagsAllan McRae1-0/+12
Add a "debug" option that appends the compiler flags specified in the variables DEBUG_CFLAGS and DEBUG_CXXFLAGS in makepkg.conf to their counterpart buildflags. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2012-11-27makepkg: use last match in BUILDENV/OPTIONS arrayAllan McRae1-2/+4
Using the last match in the BUILDENV and OPTIONS arrays allows the user to easily override these values without specifying the entire array. For example add "BUILDENV+=(sign)" in ~/.makepkg.conf. Fixes FS#26701. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2012-03-09makepkg: allow specifying compression optionsChristian Hesse1-0/+4
Adds the ability to override the commands used to compressing compiled and source packages.

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>
2011-07-14Add 'compress' compression format as an available optionDan McGee1-1/+2
This adds the '.tar.Z' option to both repo-add and makepkg for no other reason than "why not", and because bsdtar supports it natively with the '-Z' flag. Also update the documentation accordingly. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-06-22makepkg: allow specifying alternative build directoryAllan McRae1-0/+8
Add a BUILDDIR variable (which can be overridden in the environment) to specify an alternative location for building the package. This is useful for people who want to build on a different filesystem for improved performance (e.g. tmpfs).

2011-06-22makepkg: Add UPX compression supportAllan McRae1-1/+5
This patch enables the automatic compression of executable binaries using UPX when the 'upx' options is specified in makepkg.conf or the PKGBUILD. Additional arguments can be passed to UPX by specifying the UPXFLAGS variable.

2011-02-03makepkg: make SRCPKGDEST default to $startdirCedric Staniewski1-2/+2
The current behaviour, which is placing source packages in PKGDEST if SRCPKGDEST is not set, is inconsistent with {SRC,PKG}DEST handling and there is no real advantage in doing so. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2010-12-30makepkg: Add check() function for running test suitesAllan McRae1-0/+5
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.

2010-10-05makepkg: remove STRIP_DIRSAllan McRae1-7/+0
For binary packages, the majority of the time used in the debugs symbol stripping process is the actual stripping of the binaries/libraries and not the testing of which files to strip. This allows more complete stripping of packages that install to "non-standard" paths that would not be generally included in makepkg.conf. Any performance hit that may be apparent for (_large_) "arch=('any')" packages can readily be avoided by disabling stripping in the PKGBUILD options array.

2010-06-17Fix distcheck invocation in doc/ directoryv3.4.0Dan McGee1-8/+8
Commit 5fe41df8 broke `make distcheck` pretty badly for the doc directory. Looking at what this commit was trying to accomplish, it make sense to revert a lot of the build system changes and just simplify what we are showing in the man page anyway- an example, not exactly how it is configured on your system. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2010-03-15makepkg: make strip options configurableCedric Staniewski1-0/+12
The newly added variables STRIP_BINARIES, STRIP_SHARED and STRIP_STATIC, that are set in makepkg.conf, specify the strip options used on binaries and shared and static libraries. In addition, files are now stripped more aggressively by default. Implements FS#13592 the way it was suggested by Allan in the comments.

2009-01-13makepkg : fix a lot of breakages caused by AllanXavier Chantry1-2/+3
This patch started as a simple typo fix (pugre instead of purge in two places), as well as a fix of a test which was using PURGE_TARGETS instead of $PURGE_TARGETS. It evolved in a slight handling change of the OPTIONS which have a variable affecting their behavior (strip STRIP_DIRS, docs DOC_DIRS, zipman MAN_DIRS and purge PURGE_TARGETS), as well as a clarification in makepkg.conf. Now when a variable is undefined or empty, the corresponding option will have no effect. It looked weird to have a fallback when a option is defined but empty, it seems more natural to not have any fallbacks. Also re-enable docs by default. It seems arbitrary to delete files from packages by default, and it would be more vanilla and distro agnostic to keep them. docs was also the only negated option.

2009-01-03makepkg: Add support for specifying LDFLAGSAllan McRae1-0/+5

2009-01-03makepkg: Introduce purge optionAllan McRae1-0/+9
The purge option, combined with the PURGE_TARGETS variable, allows makepkg to automatically remove commonly confliting or removed files (e.g. /usr/share/info/dir, *.pod). Original work: Tim Yang Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2009-01-03makepkg: provide MAN_DIRS configuration variableAllan McRae1-1/+8
Provides a MAN_DIRS variable in makepkg.conf which can be used to specify folders to look for manual (man and info) pages to be compressed. Useful for packages that install to /opt. Also clarifies that "zipman" means "zip manuals" and covers both man and info pages.

2008-08-26makepkg : allow to specify a download filenameXavier Chantry1-6/+7
A source entry can now have the following form, to specify a different filename : "filename::http://path/to/file" Of course, the old syntax is still supported : "http://path/to/file" And as before, in the second case, the filename used is simply "file". This fixes FS#11292, because handling multiple source files with the same name is now possible (just choose a different filename). But it will also allow to deal much more nicely with funny url like this by using a sane filename (and unfortunately, there are quite a few) : http://www.vim.org/scripts/download_script.php?src_id=6992 Signed-off-by: Xavier Chantry <shiningxc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2008-08-26makepkg.conf : some info / docs adjustementsXavier Chantry1-3/+4
After commit 7865fb9af487, info pages are now treated like man pages. This means even with !docs, info pages will still be included. And including info pages was the main reason the docs option was enabled by default recently. So this is now longer needed, and we can revert back to !docs by default for disabling gigantic html pages and other docs.

2008-08-24Remove DB_COMPRESSION and DB_CHECKSUMS from makepkg.confXavier Chantry1-1/+1
DB_COMPRESSION was only used in repo-add and DB_CHECKSUMS was not used anywhere. This also removes the dependency on makepkg.conf in repo-add, so repo-add no longer needs to source makepkg.conf And instead of DB_COMPRESSION, it seems better to just check the extension of the repository file. It does not make sense to have a tar.gz file with a tar.bz2 extension or whatever. Signed-off-by: Xavier Chantry <shiningxc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2008-08-23Treat info pages like man pagesAllan McRae1-3/+3
As far a package building is concerned, info pages need to be treated in the same fashion as man pages in that they both can be compressed. This separates them from other forms of documentation and so it makes sense to make that distinction within makepkg.
