2013-06-06repo-add; add option to remove existing package files from diskPhillip Smith1-0/+4
When maintaining a custom repo, often it is undesirable to retain older versions of packages. This patch adds the --remove option to remove the current package file and it's signature from disk before adding the new one to the database. Documentation is also updated. This is an optional flag and default behaviour (leaving ondisk files alone) is not changed. Signed-off-by: Phillip Smith <fukawi2@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2013-06-04Restrict pkgname from starting with a dot.Allan McRae1-1/+1
Adding this restriction means we can filter any FILENAME entry from starting with a "/" or a ".". Use the term "dot" as it is more computing relevant compared to "full stop" or "period" which vary depending on English locale. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2013-03-15Update documentation to use https links for sites that support itJason St. John5-18/+18
The Arch web site now redirects to https links for all subdomains, so it makes sense to use these links in the docs for pacman. Links were changed to use https for a couple other sites that support it as well, such as gnu.org and kernel.org.

2013-03-10makepkg: Add --verifysource to only download/verify source filesOlivier Brunel1-0/+5
Because --noextract also implies to not download/verify source files, it wasn't possible to simply do that, without either extracting and/or building.

2013-02-24Perform limited conflict checking with --forceAllan McRae1-0/+2
Pacman currently bails when trying to extract a file over a directory when using --force. Instead of ignoring all conflict, perform the check and skip any file-file conflicts. Conflicts between directories and files are still flagged and cause the transation to abort. As a bonus, we now know about files changing packages when using --force, so we can skip removing them fixing upgrade046. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2012-11-27pactree: autodetect and use unicode line drawing charactersDave Reisner1-0/+4
Add a compile time check for langinfo.h so that we can possibly use unicode line drawing characters if the current locale is supportive of them.

2012-11-27Add --needed option to makepkgwgiokas1-0/+4
Simply add the option to pass the --needed flag to pacman when using -i with makepkg. When using makepkg in scripts, particularly for git packages with the new version functions and not just a date, this can save disk io and time instead of reinstalling. This would mostly be useful with the --noconfirm option. Signed-off-by: wgiokas <1007380@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
