2012-03-05pacman-key: Remove useless signature verification in --populate commandPierre Schmitz1-5/+0
Verifing the keyring at this point is useless as a malicious package is already installed and as such has several options to bypass this check anyway. Signed-off-by: Pierre Schmitz <pierre@archlinux.de> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2012-02-15Revert "Add -S --recursive operation"Dan McGee1-7/+0
This reverts commit f3fa77bcf1d792971c314f8c0de255866e89f3f3 along with making other necessary changes to fully back this (mis)feature out until we can do it correctly. The quick summary here is this was not implemented correctly; provides are not fully taken into account in this logic, and making that happen exposes a lot of other flaws in this code that are covered up later on in the dependency resolving process by several other pieces of convoluted and conditional logic. Tests have been adjusted accordingly. Some test EXISTS conditions have been removed as we already know the package is installed locally, and we also are checking the VERSION condition anyway. With these two related revert commits, we do have some changes in test pass/fail results: * upgrade078.py: does not pass, this is due to --recursive getting removed for -U/-S operations after this commit. * sync302.py: the version checks have been disabled, so this test continues to pass but has been scaled back in scope. * sync303.py: now passes, was failing before. * sync304.py: still failing, was failing before. * sync305.py: now passes, was failing before. * sync306.py: still passes, was passing before.

2012-01-18Don't remove unknown files in cache cleaning codeDan McGee1-1/+1
This removes the hack I added to skip '*.sig' files earlier since there are other files that also fall into the same bucket- source packages from `makepkg --source`, delta files, etc. Rather than prompting for each and every one, simply skip them. Doing '-Scc' rather than '-Sc' will delete these files if that is really what you want to do. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2012-01-13doc/vercmp: add note about pkgrel handlingDan McGee1-2/+7
This comes from the Doxygen function documentation. Also, fix two rather silly misspellings. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2012-01-03Prevent rebuild of man pages when using release tarballsAllan McRae1-3/+3
Commit 43cad9c8 made the building of all docs depend on the Makefile. However, the Makefile is generated after running ./configure so is always newer than any pregenerated docs. This means that people building from released pacman tarballs are forced to rebuild the docs (and thus have asciidoc installed). That defeats the purpose of prebuilding the documentation. Have the documentatin depends on Makefile.am instead as this is probably what was intended. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2011-10-13doc: update .gitignore, add CSS override for new tables usageDan McGee3-6/+17
* Make all docs depend on Makefile; if we change flags here we want them rebuilt. * Add explicit filenames to .gitignore so we can add our own CSS override file, and add an asciidoc-override.css resource. * Adjust a few asciidoc options when generating HTML. * Remove asciidoc-manpage.css; apparantly this doesn't exist anymore.

2011-10-06pacman-key: treat foo-trusted as an ownertrust export fileDan McGee1-2/+4
This allows it to serve double-duty. In order to allow users to base verification decisions off of both a valid signature and a trusted signature, we need to assign some level of owner trust to the keys we designate as trusted on import. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-10-06pacman-key: refine and clarify import/import-trustdb behaviorDan McGee1-4/+5
* --import now only imports keys from pubkey.gpg and does not import owner trust; if you want to have both simply run the operations in sequence. * --import-trustdb has been simplified; it will overwrite existing values in the trust database as before, but there is no need to export it first as those values are safe if left untouched. * Fix the manpage referring to a non-existent option. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-09-22Update Doxyfile and fix some documentation errors caught by DoxygenDan McGee1-47/+96
A few parameters were outdated or wrongly named, and a few things were explicitly linked that Doxygen wasn't able to resolve. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-09-22pacman-key: add an additional plain text 'foo-trusted' fileDan McGee1-10/+19
This is similar to the 'foo-revoked' file we had. This will be used to inform the user what keys in the shipped keyring need to be explicitly trusted by the user. A distro such as Arch will likely have 3-4 master keys listed in this trusted file, but an additional 25 developer keys present in the keyring that the user shouldn't have to directly sign. We use this list to prompt the user to sign the keys locally. If the key is already signed locally gpg will print a bit of junk but will continue without pestering the user. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-09-22pacman-key: remove holdkeys functionalityDan McGee1-3/+1
We're putting the cart ahead of the horse a bit here. Given that our keyring is not one where everything is implicitly trusted (ala gpgv), keeping or deleting a key has no bearing on its trusted status, only whether we can actually verify things signed by said key. If we need to address this down the road, we can find a solution that works for the problem at hand rather than trying to solve it now before signing is even widespread.

2011-09-03pacman-key: split keyserver to a separate optionDan McGee1-2/+8
This also renames '--receive' to '-recv-keys' to match the wrapped gpg option name, rather than invent a new one, now that the calling convention is the same. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-09-03pacman-key help and documentation cleanupDan McGee1-13/+13

2011-08-29pacman-key: rework and document holding keys in keyringAllan McRae1-2/+6
The HoldKey option was undocumented and was not suited for pacman.conf. Instead use the file "/etc/pacman.d/gnupg/heldkeys" to contain a list of keys not to be removed from the pacman keyring with the --populate option. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2011-08-29pacman-key: rework importing distro/repo provided keyringsAllan McRae1-2/+6
The current --reload option, apart from being non-clear in its naming, is very limited in that only one keyring can be provided. A distribution may want to provide multiple keyrings for various subsets of its organisation or custom repo providers may also want to provide a keyring. This patch adds a --populate option that reads keyrings from (by default) /usr/share/pacman/keyrings. A keyring is named foo.gpg, with optional foo-revoked file providing a list of revoked key ids. These files are required to be signed (detached) by a key trusted by pacman-key, in practice probably by the key that signed the package providing these files. The --populate flag either updates the pacman keyring using all keyrings in the directory or individual keyrings can be specified. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2011-08-23vercmp: ensure 2.0a and 2.0.a do not compare equalDan McGee2-2/+2
We had this interesting set of facts conundrum, according to vercmp return values: 2.0a < 2.0 2.0 < 2.0.a 2.0a == 2.0.a This introduces a code change that ensures '2.0a < 2.0.a' as would be expected by the first two comparisons. Unfortunately this stays us a bit further from upstream RPM code, but those are the breaks (in RPM, the versions involving 'a' do in fact compare the same, but they are both greater than the bare '2.0').

2011-08-11Allow --needed and --recursive on -U operationsDan McGee1-1/+12
Trivial to implement as the same backend machinery is used anyway. Document it and add it to the accepted options. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-08-11Add -S --recursive operationDan McGee1-0/+7
This closely matches what we had before for -R --recursive. Basically, when specifying a target (e.g., pacman), we can now recursively pull all dependencies, regardless of version specifiers and whether they are already satisfied in the local database. This could be used to update pacman on a system with an old glibc, for example, as both pacman and glibc would get pulled into the transaction. This is most useful with --needed to prevent needless reinstalls as described in the man page changes. The end goal of this change is to wire it into SyncFirst and have it be the default mode of operation there, but that belongs in a separate changeset. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
