2014-03-12makepkg: enforce fakeroot usageAllan McRae1-4/+1
Packaging outside of fakeroot can result in incorrect permissions for package files. It has been years since fakeroot issues during packaging were common, so it is safe to enforce fakeroot usage. If using fakeroot is impossible for some reason, a two line wrapper script will suffice to fool makepkg. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2014-03-12makepkg: Remove --asroot optionAllan McRae1-5/+0
The days of fakeroot being error ridden are long gone, so there is no valid reason to run makepkg as root. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2014-03-12makepkg: Add a --noarchive option to inhibit archive creationPierre Neidhardt1-0/+5
1. Packagers who want to test the package() function, i.e. to check the content of the pkg/ folder. 2. Developers who want to check how the packaged version of a program looks, in other words how the pkg/ folder looks. 3. For users of systems with no port tree, makepkg can ease package creation. However the resulting archive of the whole makepkg process is often useless. For all situations, makepkg will usually be called several times. But no archive (the final package) is needed in any cases. The archive creation ends up being a waste of time and resource, especially for big applications and slow machines. Since this option aborts the process prematurely, it behaves like the -o,--nobuild option, i.e. any other option acting on later stages in the process will be automatically discarded. For --noarchive, it means that in $ makepkg --noarchive --install the '--install' option does not do anything.

Forcing vim users to view files with a tabstop of 2 seems really unnecessary when noet is set. I find it much easier to read code with ts=4 and I dislike having to override the modeline by hand.

Add a "Usage" key to the repo section of the config which allows for the tokens "Search", "Install", "Upgrade", "All", which correspond to values in the alpm_db_usage_t enum. Users can specify "Usage" multiple times for a given repo, or multiple flags per "Usage" line and they will be OR'd together. If unspecified, the default is full usage of the repo.

When maintaining a custom repo, often it is undesirable to retain older versions of packages.
