2009-11-10Necessary updates for 3.3.3 releasev3.3.3Dan McGee1-0/+1
Should cover everything worth mentioning in NEWS, plus the version number bumps as usual. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

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>

2009-07-23Introduce -SuuNagy Gabor1-1/+4
If the user switches from unstable repo to a stable one, it is quite hard to sync its system with the new repo (the user will see many "Local is newer than stable" messages, nothing more). That's why I introduced -Suu, which treats a sync package like an upgrade, iff the package version doesn't match with the local one's. I added a new pactest (sync104.py) to test this, and I updated the documentation of -Su. Signed-off-by: Nagy Gabor <ngaba@bibl.u-szeged.hu> [Dan: slight doc reword] Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2009-07-23New feature: files verificationDan McGee1-1/+7
This implements FS#13877. Add a new option "-Qk" which checks if all of the files for a given package (or packages) are really on the system (i.e. not accidentally deleted). This can be combined with filters and other display options. It also respects both the --quiet and --verbose flags to give varying levels of output. Based on the original patch by Charly Coste <changaco@laposte.net>, thanks for your work! Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2009-06-02Change package to package(s) and file to file(s) in documentationNagy Gabor1-2/+2
The pacman --help pages and the manual suggested that only one package can be upgraded/removed per transaction. Signed-off-by: Nagy Gabor <ngaba@bibl.u-szeged.hu> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2009-05-19Query documentation updatesNagy Gabor1-11/+17
The old documentation didn't emphasize our filtering options at all, and it was a bit misleading. ("List ALL...") I also clarified the description of -Qu. Signed-off-by: Nagy Gabor <ngaba@bibl.u-szeged.hu> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2009-05-19Add repo-remove.8 to list of cleanup in doc/Makefile.amGerardo Exequiel Pozzi1-1/+1
repo-remove.8 is generated with Makefile but is not removed on clean. This patch add it to list of untracked autoconf files. Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2009-05-12Remove version information from -Qqo outputDan McGee1-4/+4
This was the only --quiet operation that showed version information; make it consistent with the rest. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2009-05-12Introduce -QlqNagy Gabor1-6/+12
With --quiet flag, -Ql doesn't print the package name, just lists the files. I made --quiet documentation up-to-date (I also added -Sgq/-Qgq). Signed-off-by: Nagy Gabor <ngaba@bibl.u-szeged.hu> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2009-04-11doc: move files around for consistencyDan McGee4-2/+254
Move some of our documentation files, even though they aren't manpages, to the doc/ directory. This allows the new 'html' make target to manage them. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

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. Signed-off-by: Xavier Chantry <shiningxc@gmail.com>

2009-01-16makepkg: add optional package functionAllan McRae1-0/+8
This patch allows us to split the building and packaging stages of a PKGBUILD and minimize fakeroot usage. This can be done with less code duplication (run_build and run_package look quite similiar) but the run_package function will be where the package splitting logic is implemented in the future.

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.

Provide support for specifying LDFLAGS within makepkg.conf but leaves this undefined by default. Fixes FS#12542. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
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.

As reported here, man pages could no longer be built : http://archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2008-December/007726.html I found the explanation here : http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/source-highlight-filter.html "If you use a2x(1) to generate PDF you need to include the --no-xmllint option to suppress xmllint(1) checking — the programlisting language attribute (required by the dblatex source highlighter) is not part of the DocBook 4 specification (but it is in the newer DocBook 5 specification)."

Using > or < in the provides array is wrong so make it cause an error. Fixes FS#12540. Also, use bash substitution rather than spawning new processes where possible in the error checking.
