* | Unify modelines in Asciidoc filesDan McGee2011-07-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This gets us close to using the same modeline in all files we run through Asciidoc, as well as adding the spell and spelllang declarations, just as we had in NEWS already. The choice of 'en_us' is mainly for consistency and because the body of work already uses these spellings. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
* | makepkg: allow epoch to be overriddenAllan McRae2011-07-27

* | doc/PKGBUILD: clarify scriptlet version argumentsDan McGee2011-07-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It was a bit unclear that both pkgver and pkgrel were included in the passed version strings; clarify this fact in the manpage. Also include epoch in the mix now that it exists. Also make two other minor consistency touchups to code-print variables in text. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
* | makepkg: Add UPX compression supportAllan McRae2011-06-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch enables the automatic compression of executable binaries using UPX when the 'upx' options is specified in makepkg.conf or the PKGBUILD. Additional arguments can be passed to UPX by specifying the UPXFLAGS variable.

* Remove epoch as an independent fieldDan McGee2011-01-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* makepkg: add option to clear buildflagsAllan McRae2010-12-29
| | | | | | | | | | 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>
* makepkg: Add check() function for running test suitesAllan McRae2010-12-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* makepkg: allow the use of only a package() functionCedric Staniewski2009-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For some packages, generally the 'any' arch ones, a build step is not required and therefore can be skipped. In these cases, a package() function without a build() one is sufficient. As a side effect, this commit makes meta packages without any function at all in the PKGBUILD possible. Fixes FS#15147.

* makepkg: allow overriding arch in split packagesAllan McRae2009-10-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows building a mixture of binary and arch=any packages. Fixes FS#15955. The value of CARCH is no longer overridden to "any" in when arch=any is used and the assigning of the "any" arch is delayed to during the packaging stage. Adjustments were required to fix installing and checking for pre-built packages of varing arches. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
* makepkg: allow overriding pkgver and pkgrel in split packagesAllan McRae2009-10-20
| | | | | | | | | Fixing a single package within a split package requires the overriding or pkgrel. In very rare (but existing) cases, it is useful to override pkgver. Partial fix for FS#15955. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
* Introduce new PKGBUILD variable `changelog`Cedric Staniewski2009-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, a changelog is added to a package if a specific file with a hardcoded name exists in the PKGBUILD's directory. This approach is not pretty and also inconsistent with the handling of install files, but it works. With the introduction of split PKGBUILDs, however, a drawback in this old behavior has arisen: you only have the possibility to include one specific changelog file in either every package defined in the PKGBUILD or in none. The use of an additional variable, `changelog`, works around this issue and makes it possible to include a changelog in only some of the packages, and besides, each package of the PKGBUILD can have its own changelog file.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows us to split the building and packaging stages of a PKGBUILD and minimize fakeroot usage. This can be done with less code duplication (run_build and run_package look quite similiar) but the run_package function will be where the package splitting logic is implemented in the future.

| * makepkg : allow to specify a download filenameXavier Chantry2008-08-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A source entry can now have the following form, to specify a different filename : "filename::http://path/to/file" Of course, the old syntax is still supported : "http://path/to/file" And as before, in the second case, the filename used is simply "file". This fixes FS#11292, because handling multiple source files with the same name is now possible (just choose a different filename). But it will also allow to deal much more nicely with funny url like this by using a sane filename (and unfortunately, there are quite a few) : http://www.vim.org/scripts/download_script.php?src_id=6992 Signed-off-by: Xavier Chantry <shiningxc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

This will allow to keep man pages uncompressed, which is required for some special meta man page, like the zshall one (see FS#4580).

* Change the versioned provision format.Chantry Xavier2008-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the 'provname provver' format to 'provname=provver'. In .PKGINFO, the provisions are copied from the PKGBUILD without quotes. So the provision version was actually handled as a different provision... See FS#9171. Dan: Unfortunately we have to change our original specification for versioned provisions with this patch, but it ends up being the simpler and cleaner solution in the long run, and if there is any time to change it the time is now before many packages have been built. Keeping the ' ' based format would have required us to do special parsing in repo-add, as well as being susceptible to users not using quotes in their provides array. Hopefully this will resolve the issues we had with our initial plan. Sorry for the confusion.
