2008-01-16Clarify -Sc documentation.Chantry Xavier1-8/+9
s/old packages/packages that are no longer installed/g. Signed-off-by: Chantry Xavier <shiningxc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
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.

2008-01-14doc: update documentation for --recursive and --cascadeChantry Xavier1-5/+7
This addresses some of the issues in FS#9192. Attempt to clarify the -Rc and -Rs options in the man page. Signed-off-by: Chantry Xavier <shiningxc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2008-01-14doc: update makepkg optionsDan McGee1-5/+15
Add documentation for --holdver (from Scott) and --forcever (saying this is an internal option that should not be used by most end users), and re-alphabetize the --asroot option. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

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>
2008-01-08Documentation updatesNathan Jones1-6/+19
Document the following: * -R can take a group * -S can take a group and provision I also split up the -S description into multiple paragraphs because it was getting too large.

2008-01-07Documentation updatesDan McGee2-14/+31
Update description of path specifiers for both pacman and pacman.conf in their respective manpages. Ensure it is obvious that they are absolute and not relative paths. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2008-01-06Remove makeworld from pacman packageDan McGee1-3/+0
This is an Arch-specific tool (although others could find use in it), so off to the standalone ABS package it goes. 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>

2007-12-11Updates to PKGBUILD manpageDan McGee1-6/+11
Make the manpage a little more distro agnostic by referring to ABS in the context of Arch Linux, and saying that prototype files are also available with the pacman source. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2007-12-02Add new --needed option for -S.Chantry Xavier1-0/+3
During a pacman operation such as a group install, pacman can ask several questions such as "local version is up to date. Upgrade anyway?". They are usually all answered either by yes or by no: * yes when you want to reinstall all the targets. * no when you only want to install the missing ones (either because you are installing a group, or because you are copying a pacman -S line from wiki or whatever). So instead of asking this question for each target, it is now now configured with a flag. Yes will be the default -S behavior, No will be achieved with the --needed flag.

2007-11-21doc: use source highlighter on PKGBUILD guide, update wrong example textDan McGee1-4/+5
Note that if you are building manpages with asciidoc now, you must also have source-highlight installed for it to correctly generate everything. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2007-11-21Update PKGBUILD manpage with versioned conflicts.Chantry Xavier1-1/+1
As the b96922679e4ed14aa687bf194b766d82a1d10577 commit showed with two pactests (which were renamed to depconflict110/111), versioned conflicts are now possible. Signed-off-by: Chantry Xavier <shiningxc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2007-11-19Versioned provisions.Nagy Gabor1-0/+2
This patch introduces versioned provisions in "provision 1.0-1" format. _alpm_db_whatprovides was modified accordingly (added sync500.py), alpm_depcmp was modified accordingly (add043.py passes now; added add044.py and add045.py). Notes: alpm_db_search now uses the whole versioned %PROVIDES% string in its search. debug logging was simplified in alpm_depcmp. Signed-off-by: Nagy Gabor <ngaba@bibl.u-szeged.hu> [Xavier: fixed a few typos, duplicate const strings with strdup before modifying them, put some debugging back in alpm_depcmp, minor code cleanups (var/function renaming), added a note in PKGBUILD man page.] Signed-off-by: Chantry Xavier <shiningxc@gmail.com> [Dan: made strcmp checks clearer, added a comment] Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2007-11-14Make it easier to ignore multiple packages.Nathan Jones1-2/+4

2007-10-15Updates to fix Doxygen documentation generationDan McGee2-4/+4
We had way too much going on with the Doxygen manpage generation. Clean it up quite a bit by removing directory manpages, using relative paths, not having a manpage for every single alpm function, and ensuring internal functions are not documented publicly.

2007-09-28document the -Qii option.Chantry Xavier1-1/+3
I suppose -Qii could be used for other things than displaying the list of backup files, but currently, it's the only one, so that's how I documented it.. Signed-off-by: Chantry Xavier <shiningxc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2007-09-24Allow a normal 'make' to compile without asciidoc installedDan McGee1-0/+9
If we don't have asciidoc installed or enabled, we should still have a successful make. However, we want to ensure 'make dist' fails without asciidoc. This commit should ensure this. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

This reverts commit dfc85cb5f516ffbcff557522e9703c5c7d88b047 and b6f3fe6957d0206485eac98fb2120578b75d0058. This DB check is already in testdb (among others). Also testdb now uses the db path set at make time by default, so specifying the db path is optional. Signed-off-by: Chantry Xavier <shiningxc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
