Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2018-05-14Ensure better text editor automatic filetype detectionEli Schwartz18-47/+47
Since we no longer use vim-specific modelines, use the .asciidoc file extension which is, well, reserved for asciidoc formatted files. This should presumably work everywhere without needing editor-specific workarounds and configuration. Also add a shebang to makepkg.conf to indicate it contains bash content.

2018-05-14Remove all modelines from the projectEli Schwartz17-53/+0
Many of these are pointless (e.g. there is no need to explicitly turn on spellchecking and language dictionaries for the manpages by default). The only useful modelines are the ones enforcing the project coding standards for indentation style (and "maybe" filetype/syntax, but everything except the asciidoc manpages and makepkg.conf is already autodetected), and indent style can be applied more easily with .editorconfig Signed-off-by: Eli Schwartz <eschwartz@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2018-05-12libmakepkg: Support file 5.33's application/x-pie-executableJan Alexander Steffens (heftig)1-2/+2
file 5.33 introduces a new MIME type "application/x-pie-executable", which is used for relocatable binaries. makepkg ignored these binaries and did not attempt to strip them. Handle the new MIME type like the old "application/x-sharedlib". Stripping the binaries with --strip-unneeded to keep relocation information should be the correct thing to do. file 5.33 also misidentifies actual libraries as PIE executables, so we didn't strip any shared libraries, either. We now work around this bug. Signed-off-by: Jan Alexander Steffens (heftig) <jan.steffens@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2018-03-14makepkg --packagelist: just list the built package files we will buildEli Schwartz1-2/+2
Currently this seems to be only theoretically useful. The most likely reason for wanting a packagelist is in order to script makepkg and derive the filenames for the packages we want to install or repo-add, but in the current implementation this requires a lot of additional post-processing which must be duplicated in every utility to wrap makepkg. - It is of minimal use to know what packages might get created on some other device utilizing a different CPU/OS architecture, so don't list them. - It is non-trivial to reimplement makepkg's logic for sourcing any of several makepkg.conf configuration files, then applying environment overrides in order to get the PKGDEST and PKGEXT, so include them directly in the returned filenames. - Output is delimited by newlines, for readability. For maximum parsing reliability, libmakepkg needs to learn how to lint the PKGDEST and PKGEXT variables to ensure they do not contain newlines, which will be submitted in a separate patch.

2017-12-07makepkg: Add a config option to specify the location of debug sourcesEli Schwartz1-0/+6
In commit 8b0d59b83a60eb504567590346119fe4cd891cad support was added for storing the source files of binaries in debug packages. Allow the user to specify where those source files should be stored via makepkg.conf Signed-off-by: Eli Schwartz <eschwartz@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2017-12-07makepkg.conf: correct the documentation on the default optionsEli Schwartz1-2/+2
The documentation for OPTIONS and BUILDENV listed some incorrect defaults for undefined options. The defaults are implementation-defined in the source code for makepkg itself (e.g. it depends whether we use `check_option "opt" "y"` or `check_option "opt" "n"`) but were erroneously declared to be "whatever we *define* in the default makepkg.conf".

2017-09-13makepkg: respect $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to activate reproducible buildsEli Schwartz1-0/+16
If SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set, `touch` all source files between the (optional) prepare() and build() functions to unify the modification times.

2017-04-17add --sysroot optionAndrew Gregory1-2/+9
--root is not sufficient to properly operate on a mounted guest system. Using --root still uses the host system's configuration and there is no way to correctly use the guest configuration without manually modifying any Include directives. --sysroot provides an easier way to operate on a guest system by chrooting immediately after option parsing before configuration parsing or performing any operations. It is currently limited to the root user, but that's enough for restoring a guest system to a working state, which is the primary intended use case.

2016-02-23makepkg: do not run prepare() with --noextractEvangelos Foutras1-5/+5
This is partial revert of 8454daa7feef (makepkg: run pkgver() and prepare() with --noextract). Reasoning for the reversion (copied from FS#43498): Running prepare() when --noextract is used no longer allows running 'makepkg -o && makepkg -e' with any PKGBUILD that applies patches in prepare(). [1] Sure there's --noprepare which restores the old behavior, but that's a lot of extra typing for what I believe is a much more common use of --noextract. For OP's use case of doing git bisects, you can specify the commit in the source array and thus skip --noextract since makepkg will checkout the correct commit each time. [1] I often extract the sources using 'makepkg -o', manually edit some source files, and then use 'makepkg -e' to package it (while possibly repeating the edit/package steps).
