2013-09-04pacman: add front end support for repo usage levelDave Reisner1-0/+21
Add a "Usage" key to the repo section of the config which allows for the tokens "Search", "Install", "Upgrade", "All", which correspond to values in the alpm_db_usage_t enum. Users can specify "Usage" multiple times for a given repo, or multiple flags per "Usage" line and they will be OR'd together. If unspecified, the default is full usage of the repo.

2012-04-12Remove SyncFirst optionDan McGee1-9/+0
This has outlived its usefulness and causes more problems than it solves. It has historically only ever been used to install pacman first. That should not be needed given we provide the vercmp utility (which has no library dependencies) and so calling pacman in install scripts is a sign of poor packaging.

2012-01-19Allow UseDelta option to specify a delta ratioDan McGee1-3/+7
Rework the frontend and backend to allow passing a ratio value in for UseDelta rather than having a hardcoded #define-d 0.7 value always used. This is useful for those with fast connections, who would likely benefit from tuning this ratio to lower values; it is also useful for general testing purposes. The libalpm API changes for this, but we do support the old config file format with a no-value 'UseDelta' option; in this case we simply use the old default of 0.7. We clamp the ratio values to a sane range between 0.0 and 2.0, allowing ratios above 1.0 for testing purposes. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

This is work originally provided by Sascha Kruse on FS#20360 with only minor adjustments to the implementation. It's been expanded to cover: NoUpgrade, NoExtract, IgnorePkg, IgnoreGroup. Adds tests ignore008, sync139, sync502, and sync503. Also satisfies FS#18988. Original-work-by: Sascha Kruse <knopwob@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Reisner <dreisner@archlinux.org>

2011-08-02docs/pacman.conf: Document SigLevel optionDan McGee1-8/+84
This adds docs for SigLevel, which can exist in both [options] and [repository] sections. It also does a bit of reworking of the structure of this manpage and adds a labeled list under the repo sections where we didn't have one before. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
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 McGee1-5/+6
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>

2011-06-01doc: add a few more escapes and fix usage of {}Dan McGee1-1/+1

Dan: The commit message originally referenced "VerbosePkgLists", but I'm going to change the name of the option.

2011-03-23Let pacman specify GnuPG's home directory.Chris Brannon1-0/+9
GnuPG looks for configuration files and keyrings in its home directory. For a user, that is typically ~/.gnupg. This patch causes pacman to use /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/ as the default GnuPG home. One may override the default using --gpgdir on the command-line or GPGDir in pacman's configuration file.

2011-01-31Allow both cleanmethod values to be specified at the same timeDan McGee1-2/+4

2009-10-04doc: ensure SyncFirst behavior with flags is clearDan McGee1-2/+5
When a SyncFirst transaction kicks in, no flags like '--force' are honored. This is for good reason, as honoring something like '--asdeps' could be quite unintentional. Document this fact and a possible workaround. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2009-09-06Allow $arch to be used in ServerXavier Chantry1-2/+4
similarly to the $repo variable, Server can now contain $arch, which will be automatically replaced by the appropriate architecture.

2009-03-15Fix several issues with xdeltaXavier Chantry1-1/+1
1) The changes to sync.c look big but there are mostly caused by the indentation. Fix a bug where download_size == 0 because the packages and deltas are already in the cache, but we still need to build the deltas list and apply the deltas to create the final package. 2) Fix the gzip / md5sum issue by switching to xdelta3, disabling external recompression and using gzip -n in pacman, and disable bsdtar compression and using gzip -n in makepkg.

2008-05-13Add SyncFirst option.Chantry Xavier1-0/+6
This patch offers a way to fix FS#9228. By putting "SyncFirst = pacman" in pacman.conf, the version check will happen before the transaction really starts, and before any replacements is made. Otherwise, no version check is done. The sync301 pactest was updated to use this SyncFirst option. Example session with SyncFirst = pacman, and a newer pacman version available : $ pacman -Su (or pacman -S <any targets>) :: the following packages should be upgraded first : pacman :: Do you want to cancel the current operation :: and upgrade these packages now? [Y/n] resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts... Targets: pacman-x.y.z-t Total Download Size: x.xx MB Total Installed Size: x.xx MB Proceed with installation? [Y/n] n As Nagy previously noted, doing this check on any -S operations might look intrusive, but it can be required. For example, the case where you want to install a package with versioned provisions, using a pacman version which didn't support that feature yet (and there is already a newer pacman in sync db supporting it).

2008-03-23Add new CleanMethod option.Chantry Xavier1-0/+9
As it was already mentioned several times, the new -Sc behavior in 3.1 is great, but only when the package cache is not shared. This option has two possible values : KeepInstalled and KeepCurrent With KeepCurrent, -Sc will clean packages that are no longer available in any sync db, rather than packages that are no longer in the local db. The resulting behavior should be better for shared cache.

2008-03-18Drop case insensitive comparisons in the config parsing.Chantry Xavier1-0/+2
These case insensitive comparisons didn't work in some locales, like tr_TR where upper(i) != I. So a second case sensitive comparison had to be made for each directive. Only keeping case sensitive comparisons make the code cleaner and treat all locales equally. Ref: http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2008-March/011445.html Also fix pactests to use the correct case.
