2008-08-23Treat info pages like man pagesAllan McRae2-6/+6
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.

2008-08-23Cleanup of _alpm_pkg_compare_versions.Xavier Chantry1-1/+1
* Change the return values to be more informative. It was previously boolean, only indicating if a sync package was newer than a local package. Now it is a simple wrapper to vercmp, handling the force flag. * Remove the verbose output from _alpm_pkg_compare_versions. The "force" message is not so useful. The "package : local (v1) is newer than repo (v2)" message can be moved to -Su operation. For the -S operation, it is better to have something like : "downgrading package from v1 to v2" * Don't display the "up to date -- skipping" and "up to date -- reinstalling" messages, when the local version is newer than the sync one. * Fix the behavior of --needed option to not skip a target when the local version is newer, and clarify its description. * Add a new alpm_pkg_has_force function This allows us to access the pkg->force field like any other package fields.

2008-07-25Fix vercmp and add additional testsDan McGee1-1/+1
This vercmp issue has been a sticking point but this should resolve many of the issues that have come up. Only a few minor code changes were necessary to get the behavior we desired, and this version appears to beat any other vercmp rendition on a few more cases added in this commit. This commit passes all 58 vercmp tests currently out there. Other 'fixes' still fail on a few tests, namely these ones: test: ver1: 1.5.a ver2: 1.5 ret: -1 expected: 1 ==> FAILURE test: ver1: 1.5 ver2: 1.5.a ret: 1 expected: -1 ==> FAILURE test: ver1: 1.5-1 ver2: 1.5.b ret: 1 expected: -1 ==> FAILURE test: ver1: 1.5.b ver2: 1.5-1 ret: -1 expected: 1 ==> FAILURE 4 of 58 tests failed Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2008-07-13sync_addtarget reworkNagy Gabor1-1/+3
Now '-S provision' handling is done in the back-end. In case of multiple providers, the first one is selected (behavior change: deleted provision002.py). The old processing order was: literal, group, provision; the new one: literal, provision, group. This is more rational, but "pacman -S group" will be slower now. "pacman -S repo/provision" also works. Provision was generalized to dependencies, so you can resolve deps by hand: "pacman -S 'bash>2.0'" or "pacman -S 'core/bash>2.0'" etc. This can be useful in makepkg dependency resolving. The changes were documented in pacman manual. alpm_find_pkg_satisfiers and _alpm_find_dep_satisfiers functions were removed, since they are no longer needed. I added some verbosity to "select provider instead of literal" and "fallback to group". Signed-off-by: Nagy Gabor <ngaba@bibl.u-szeged.hu> 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).

2008-03-23Add 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.

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>

2008-01-15Change 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.
