2011-01-22Makefile: Use git describe --dirty for GIT VERSIONXavier Chantry1-1/+1
dirty indicates if the repo has uncommited changes or not when building, so dont hardcode this info. Signed-off-by: Xavier Chantry <chantry.xavier@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-01-22doc: update current list of authorsDan McGee1-1/+2
Allan, I had no idea you were not listed here. I think you count as an active developer at the moment. Also, move Aaron to the past contributors section. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-01-22doc: add a vercmp manpageDan McGee5-2/+81
This includes info on version comparison that is very similar to the stuff in the pacman manpage, but also a few vercmp examples, the return values, and other fun stuff. Also update the version comparison stuff in the pacman manpage. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-01-22Remove epoch as an independent fieldDan McGee1-1/+1
Instead, go the same route we have always taken with version-release in libalpm and treat it all as one piece of information. Makepkg is the only script that knows about epoch as a distinct value; from there on out we will parse out the components as necessary. This makes the code a lot simpler as far as epoch handling goes. The downside here is that we are tossing some compatibility to the wind; packages using force will have to be rebuilt with an incremented epoch to keep their special status.

2010-12-30makepkg: add option to clear buildflagsAllan McRae1-0/+6
Add the "buildflags" option, which is useful in its negative form for disabling CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS when building a package. This is useful when determining of one of these flags is causing an issue with a package. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2010-12-30makepkg: Add check() function for running test suitesAllan McRae3-1/+27
A PKGBUILD can have an option check() function for running test suites between the build() and package() stages. This function is run by default but can be disabled globally in with "!check" in BUILDENV in makepkg.conf. This setting can be controlled on an individual package basis using makepkg's --check and --nocheck flags. Addition dependencies needed for running the test suite can be specified in the checkdepends array and are only checked when running the check() function.

2010-12-13alpm/remove.c : respect --dbonly during remove-upgradeXavier Chantry1-2/+0
When a -Sk or -Uk operation induced a removal of an existing local package, --dbonly was not in effect and the files were all removed. Fixing this behavior was already marked as TODO in database012 pactest ------------ TODO: I honestly think the above should NOT delete the original les, it hould upgrade the DB entry without touching anything on the file stem. E.g. this test should be the same as: pacman -R --dbonly dummy && pacman -U --dbonly dummy.pkg.tar.gz ------------ Signed-off-by: Xavier Chantry <chantry.xavier@gmail.com> [Dan: small coding style touchup] Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2010-12-13CLI args: update --help and manpageXavier Chantry1-58/+52
The three parts (help, manpage and code) are now organized in the same way and much easier to compare : - specific options - install/upgrade options for -S and -U - transaction options for -S -R and -U - global options After this re-organization, it was easy to update and sync the three components together. Duplication is also avoided. Signed-off-by: Xavier Chantry <chantry.xavier@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

In the following, the letters SRUDQ refer to the corresponding pacman operations. Most of the work in this commit is about removing as many options as possible from the global section and moving them to where they actually belong. Additionally, --ignore{,group} are added to U and --dbonly is added to S. --dbonly added to S --asdeps moved to S/U/D --asexplicit moved to S/U/D --print-format moved to S/U/R --noprogressbar moved to S/U/R --noscriptlet moved to S/U/R --ignorepkg added to U --ignoregrp added to U -d moved to S/U/R (--nodeps) and Q (--deps) -p moved to S/U/R (--print) and Q (--file) -f moved to S/U Signed-off-by: Xavier Chantry <chantry.xavier@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2010-10-05makepkg: remove STRIP_DIRSAllan McRae1-7/+0
For binary packages, the majority of the time used in the debugs symbol stripping process is the actual stripping of the binaries/libraries and not the testing of which files to strip. This allows more complete stripping of packages that install to "non-standard" paths that would not be generally included in makepkg.conf. Any performance hit that may be apparent for (_large_) "arch=('any')" packages can readily be avoided by disabling stripping in the PKGBUILD options array.

2010-06-17Fix distcheck invocation in doc/ directoryv3.4.0Dan McGee2-19/+10
Commit 5fe41df8 broke `make distcheck` pretty badly for the doc directory. Looking at what this commit was trying to accomplish, it make sense to revert a lot of the build system changes and just simplify what we are showing in the man page anyway- an example, not exactly how it is configured on your system.

2010-05-06makepkg: improve removal of installed dependenciesAllan McRae1-3/+3
Compare a list of packages on the system before and after dependency resolution in order to get a complete list of packages to remove. This allows makepkg to remove packages installed due to provides. Bail in cases where packages that were on the system originally have been removed as there is a risk of breaking the system when removing the new packages. Fixes FS#15144.

2010-05-05Introduce -D, --databaseNagy Gabor1-0/+6
The request of FS#12950 is implemented. On the backend side, I introduced a new function, alpm_db_set_pkgreason(), to modify the install reason of a package in the local database. On the front-end side, I introduced a new main operation, -D/--database, which has two options, --asdeps and --asexplicit. I documented this in pacman manual. I've created two pactests to test -D: database001.py and database002.py. Signed-off-by: Nagy Gabor <ngaba@bibl.u-szeged.hu> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
