2020-03-09makepkg: add basic support for alternativesAllan McRae1-2/+2
Alternatives are specified in makepkg via (e.g.): alternative=('sh') There should be a file (e.g.) sh.alternative alongside the PKGBUILD containing a list of symlinks to be created with the alternative is active. This file is stored in the root of the package as (e.g.) .ALTERNATIVE.sh. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2020-01-28makepkg: add CRC checksums and set these to be the defaultAllan McRae2-8/+8
Checksums arrays should be filled with values provided by upstream. We currently have md5 set as an unsecure default, and are constantly asked to change it to sha2. However, just changing the default to a stronger checksum gives the user the impression that "makepkg -g" checksums are perfect. Instead, change the default checksum to a CRC, to make it clear that any checksum generated purely by "makepkg -g" is not ideal. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2020-01-28Note that checksums from "makepkg -g" are not idealAllan McRae1-1/+3
Generating checksums with "makepkg -g" only determines that the user of a PKGBUILD has the same file as the packager (assuming no collision). This means an upstream source could be maliciously changed and passed on as valid by a PKGBUILD. To avoid this, it is essential that any checksums used in a PKGBUILD are as provided by upstream.

2020-01-07doc: clarify the format of a PKGBUILD source fragmentEli Schwartz1-3/+3
Currently, it could be misread to say that a fragment is literally 'commit', rather than 'commit=somehash'. Anecdotally this does not seem to be obvious to everyone, and rewording it certainly doesn't hurt.

2019-11-26makepkg: add the $startdir to package .BUILDINFOEli Schwartz1-0/+3
This value is needed for reproducible builds. The reason is because $BUILDDIR changes its behavior depending on whether it is the same as $startdir, and the result is that we cannot know whether $srcdir (the path that is potentially embedded into the final package) is actually "$BUILDDIR/src" or "$BUILDDIR/$pkgbase/src".

2019-10-30autotools: be more templated when getting list of doc dist filesEli Schwartz1-13/+2
Distribute asciidoc sources for all manpages instead of remembering to add files to both variables. Fixes regression in 377d47142f7aaa01ca782e6587f2d4caf663865b which broke building the website from a dist tarball: make: *** No rule to make target 'pacman-conf.8.html', needed by 'html'. Stop. (Technically this regression is already fixed by commit 942b909829d529409216939b36af11e8480726f5, but this is just going to keep happening, I suspect, so we should fix the root cause.)

The rust language supports $RUSTFLAGS to be used automatically in all rustc invocations.

2019-10-04autotools: distribute meson filesEli Schwartz1-0/+1
If we use make dist to create the official, signed release tarballs, those will not have meson build files by default since autotools doesn't know what they are. Also distribute all src/common/ files. We never strictly needed any of them to be distributed with autotools, because the dist tarball dereferences the symlinks (???), but only some of them were being distributed, and meson needs them to be in the right location as we only build libcommon from the primary files.

2019-06-06hooks: rename type File to PathAndrew Gregory1-8/+9
Make it clearer that the targets are matched against both directories and regular files and free up File to potentially refer specifically to regular files in the future. File is retained as a deprecated alias for Path for the time being to avoid breaking existing hooks and will be removed in a future release. See FS#53136.

2019-06-06pacman: rework the UI of -Fmorganamilo1-10/+4
Reworks the UI of -F according to FS#47949 In short -F replaces both -Fs and -Fo. Searching for an exact path (target contains "/"), causes the output to switch to the old -Fo output. Otherwise the old -Fs output is used. Also strip the leading "/" from targets like how -Qo does. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2019-05-28doc: update SRCEXT/PKGEXT to reduce needlessly scary warningsEli Schwartz3-4/+9
Currently this tells people that the settings should not be touched, but we should just rely on the description of what it should be set to, and leave it up to the user. With the previous patch, makepkg aborts if an invalid value is set, greatly reducing the danger of it being badly configured. Also make this clearer by indicating when it would be useful to change the settings -- i.e. disable compression -- and ensure their described defaults are based on the ones established during ./configure or meson setup.

coreutils 8.26 in December 2016 added this new hashing method which is compatible with the existing md5sum and sha*sum tool usage, while using the blake2 hash algorithm. makepkg uses coreutils to provide source file integrity checks via ${integ}sum binaries and it makes sense to offer this as an additional option.

2018-11-03pacman-key: just accept one file to verify, and enforce detached sigsEli Schwartz1-1/+7
Simply pass options on to gpg the same way gpg uses them -- no looping through and checking lots of signatures. This prevents a situation where the signature file to be verified is manipulated to contain an embedded signature which is valid, but not a detached signature for the file you are actually trying to verify. gpg does not offer an option to verify many files at once by naming each signature/file pair, and there's no reason for us to do so either, since it would be quite tiresome to do so. In the event that there is no signature/file pair specified to pacman-key itself, - preserve gpg's behavior, *if* the matching file does not exist, by - assuming the signature is an embedded signature - deviate from gpg's behavior, by - offering a security warning about which one is happening - when there is an embedded signature *and* a matching detached file, assume the latter is desired Signed-off-by: Eli Schwartz <eschwartz@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2018-11-02Add meson.build files to build with mesonDave Reisner1-0/+138
Provide both build systems in parallel for now, to ensure that we work out all the differences between the two. Some time from now, we'll give up on autotools. Meson tends to be faster and probably easier to read/maintain. On my machine, the full meson configure+build+install takes a little under half as long as a similar autotools-based invocation. Building with meson is a two step process. First, configure the build: meson build Then, compile the project: ninja -C build There's some mild differences in functionality between meson and autotools. specifically: 1) No singular update-po target. meson only generates individual update-po targets for each textdomain (of which we have 3). To make this easier, there's a build-aux/update-po script which finds all update-po targets and runs them. 2) No 'make dist' equivalent. Just run 'git archive' to generate a suitable tarball for distribution.
2018-10-23Dynamically generate Doxyfile from inputDave Reisner3-2/+6
This isn't super interesting for the autotools side, but it's necessary in order to make things sane for other build systems which we might introduce in the future.
