Add documentation for $startdir, $srcdir, and $pkgdir variables, as well as general information about the build() function and about custom variables in PKGBUILDs. This addresses FS#10634. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2008-05-13Remove --builddeps from makepkgDan McGee1-7/+0
This really should be in an external script, as it is not makepkg's job to rebuild your system. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
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).

2008-05-10scripts: add -q/--quiet option to repo-add and repo-removeDan McGee1-2/+9
They are pretty noisy scripts in their normal course of operations, so allow all messages to be squashed except for warning and error messages with this new flag. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2008-04-29Doxyfile : enable JAVADOC_AUTOBRIEF.Chantry Xavier1-1/+1
From http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/config.html#cfg_javadoc_autobrief JAVADOC_AUTOBRIEF If the JAVADOC_AUTOBRIEF is set to YES then doxygen will interpret the first line (until the first dot) of a JavaDoc-style comment as the brief description. If set to NO (the default), the Javadoc-style will behave just like regular Qt-style comments (thus requiring an explicit @brief command for a brief description.)

2008-03-23Add new CleanMethod option.Chantry Xavier2-0/+12
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.

2008-03-16Add zipman makepkg option.Chantry Xavier2-2/+8
All other steps in tidy_install function were already controlled by an option in makepkg.conf, so this patch adds an option for the man page compression step too. This will allow to keep man pages uncompressed, which is required for some special meta man page, like the zshall one (see FS#4580).

2008-03-11makepkg: Support for resuming source downloadsRoman Kyrylych1-0/+3
Download to *.part and remove the suffix if successful, thus md5sums will be checked only for complete files, and next time makepkg will resume downloading of partial file instead of complaining about invalid md5sums. Old DLAGENTS format is still supported. Late fix: Do not try to download %u first The output of grep was not suppressed, thus the output of get_downloadcmd was wrong because of extra line at the beginning that contained an unsubstituted (with %o and %u) entry from DLAGENTS.

2008-02-06New remove option : -u / --unneeded (FS#6505).Nagy Gabor1-0/+5
With --unneeded option 'pacman -R' doesn't stop in case of dependency error; it removes the needed-dependency targets from the target-list instead. See also: http://archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2007-October/009653.html . The patch also adds a new causingpkg field to pmdepmissing_t which indicates the to-be-removed package which would cause a dependency break. This is needed, because miss->depend.name may be a provision. miss->causingpkg will be useful in -R dependency error messages too. [Xavier: renamed inducer to causingpkg, removed the _alpm_pkgname_pkg_cmp helper function as requested by Aaron. This might be added by a further commit. Other small cleanups, updated manpage and bash completion.] Signed-off-by: Chantry Xavier <shiningxc@gmail.com>
2008-02-06remove --force option from repo-add.Chantry Xavier1-11/+1
The force option should only be specified in the PKGBUILD with options=(force). This information should be handled like any other meta info, and there is no need to have a special repo-add option for it.

2008-01-15Change the versioned provision format.Chantry Xavier1-2/+3
Change the 'provname provver' format to 'provname=provver'. In .PKGINFO, the provisions are copied from the PKGBUILD without quotes. So the provision version was actually handled as a different provision... See FS#9171. Dan: Unfortunately we have to change our original specification for versioned provisions with this patch, but it ends up being the simpler and cleaner solution in the long run, and if there is any time to change it the time is now before many packages have been built. Keeping the ' ' based format would have required us to do special parsing in repo-add, as well as being susceptible to users not using quotes in their provides array. Hopefully this will resolve the issues we had with our initial plan. Sorry for the confusion.

2008-01-11Rename -t --orphans to -t --unrequired (FS#9144).Chantry Xavier1-1/+1
It turns out the orphan name was misleading. Real orphans are packages installed as dependency no longer required by any others (-Qtd). The -t option only shows package not required by any others, so --unrequired describes it better. Signed-off-by: Chantry Xavier <shiningxc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2007-12-29doc: rename manlink macro to linkmanDan McGee9-37/+37
Between AsciiDoc 8.2.2 and 8.2.3, the following change was made to the stock Asciidoc configuration: @@ -149,7 +153,10 @@ # Inline macros. # Backslash prefix required for escape processing. # (?s) re flag for line spanning. -(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>\w(\w|-)*?):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])= + +# Explicit so they can be nested. +(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>(http|https|ftp|file|mailto|callto|image|link)):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])= + # Anchor: [[[id]]]. Bibliographic anchor. (?su)[\\]?\[\[\[(?P<attrlist>[\w][\w-]*?)\]\]\]=anchor3 # Anchor: [[id,xreflabel]] This default regex now matches explicit values, and unfortunately in this case manlink was being matched by just 'link', causing the wrong inline macro template to be applied. By renaming the macro, we can avoid being matched by the wrong regex. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2007-12-29Ensure that manpages are always distributed and installedDan McGee1-10/+7
Commit 012f7939784358b02726c169543aa99436439335 was a bit misguided in its thinking, and resulted in a package built without asciidoc enabled not installing the manpages to the system on a 'make install' operation. Fix this behavior by making manpages required in a normal build, and in order to disable their existence, the '--disable-doc' option must be used. Hopefully this solves manpage issues for both developers and package builders while allowing as much flexibility as possible. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
