VERSION DESCRIPTION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.7.5 - "replaces" packages were ignoring IgnorePkg in pacman.conf
- fixed another bug in conflict handling
- found an out-dated reference to /usr/abs, fixed
- added a --recursive option for package removal, which removes
all deps of a target that aren't required by other packages
2.7.4 - fixed a bug in conflict handling, where installing a
conflicting package would fail even if the new package
"provided" it
- if pacman sees a newer version of itself during an upgrade,
it will ask to install itself first, then be re-run to upgrade
the other packages.
- You can now use the --info option with --sync to display an
uninstalled package's dependency info.
- Added a sane umask before db writes
- buffer overflow fix (bug #442)
2.7.3 - makepkg not longer strips files with .exe or .dll extensions
- Added Aurelien's patch:
- proxy support (no authentication yet)
- HTTP/1.1 support
- an improved progress bar with transfer rates and ETA
- cleaned up warning output a bit
2.7.2 - Supressed "No such file" messages during stripping
- Removed extra newlines in /var/log/pacman.log
- Added a --noextract option to makepkg to skip source extraction
2.7.1 - Fixed a couple obscure segfaults
- LogFiles were logging incorrect dates - fixed
- Cleaned up md5sum output in makepkg -g
- Added (optional) colorized output messages to makepkg
- Renamed the "stable" repo to "release" in pacman.conf
- Renamed the "unofficial" repo to "extra" in pacman.conf
2.7 - Added build-time dependencies to makepkg (Jason Chu)
- Added md5sum integrity checking to packages in --sync
mode (Aurelien Foret)
- Memory leak fixes (Aurelien Foret)
- Added CARCH variable to makepkg.conf for use in PKGBUILDs
- Added LogFile option for direct-to-file logging
- Added -Qii handling to show modified config files
- Allow --sync targets to specify an explicit repository to
sync from (eg, pacman -S current/patch)
2.6.4 - Altered pacman_upgrade() to allow a package to replace itself
2.6.3 - A couple memory fixes in the new replaces code
2.6.2 - Fixed a memory cleanup bug
- Aurelien's patch:
- bug #159 implemented (for -S and -R)
- fixed a bug with pacman -Sg (pacman was browsing only one
db to get groups)
- fixed a bug with list_merge()
- fixed some MLK (in dumppkg() and with "-Qi --orphans")
- now "pacman -Sg" only displays groups (without content)
whereas "pacman -Sg target1 target2" displays groups
target1 and target2 with content
2.6.1 - Added http download support (Aurelien Foret)
- Improved makepkg's --builddeps behaviour when called via
makeworld
- makepkg's md5 validation now occurs before source extraction
- makepkg delays fakeroot entry until after option parsing
- Fixed an argument-passing bug in fakeroot
- Modified pacman's behaviour wrt provides -- it now allows
multiple packages to be installed, even if they provide the
same thing (they were treated as conflicts before)
2.6 - Added group handling, so one can run 'pacman -S kde' and
install all files from the KDE group
- Fixed a duplication bug in cascade package removal
- Added support for virtual provisions with "provides" tags
- When conflicts are encountered, pacman now offers the chance
to remove the conflicting packages (provides or literals)
- Added support for renamed/combined packages with a "replaces"
tag
- Added --nostrip option to makepkg
- Improved --search to list all packages from all repos when
a search term is omitted
- Added logging support through syslog()
- Added fakeroot support to makepkg (RomanK)
- Added MD5sum generation/validation to makepkg (RomanK)
- Fixed a progress bar bug (Aurelien Foret)
- Sorted makepkg's .FILELISTs (Aurelien Foret)
- Targets are now re-ordered w.r.t. dependencies when
using -A/-U
