From 84ebf8231985ff285f7995cd7ecaceb750a3c78b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nagy Gabor Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2007 22:37:57 +0100 Subject: Versioned provisions. This patch introduces versioned provisions in "provision 1.0-1" format. _alpm_db_whatprovides was modified accordingly (added sync500.py), alpm_depcmp was modified accordingly (add043.py passes now; added add044.py and add045.py). Notes: alpm_db_search now uses the whole versioned %PROVIDES% string in its search. debug logging was simplified in alpm_depcmp. Signed-off-by: Nagy Gabor [Xavier: fixed a few typos, duplicate const strings with strdup before modifying them, put some debugging back in alpm_depcmp, minor code cleanups (var/function renaming), added a note in PKGBUILD man page.] Signed-off-by: Chantry Xavier [Dan: made strcmp checks clearer, added a comment] Signed-off-by: Dan McGee --- doc/PKGBUILD.5.txt | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'doc') diff --git a/doc/PKGBUILD.5.txt b/doc/PKGBUILD.5.txt index 6950041b..0d3ff3ae 100644 --- a/doc/PKGBUILD.5.txt +++ b/doc/PKGBUILD.5.txt @@ -133,6 +133,8 @@ Options and Directives a package to provide dependencies other than its own package name.
