* vercmp: ensure 2.0a and 2.0.a do not compare equalDan McGee2011-08-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We had this interesting set of facts conundrum, according to vercmp return values: 2.0a < 2.0 2.0 < 2.0.a 2.0a == 2.0.a This introduces a code change that ensures '2.0a < 2.0.a' as would be expected by the first two comparisons. Unfortunately this stays us a bit further from upstream RPM code, but those are the breaks (in RPM, the versions involving 'a' do in fact compare the same, but they are both greater than the bare '2.0').

* Add -S --recursive operationDan McGee2011-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This closely matches what we had before for -R --recursive. Basically, when specifying a target (e.g., pacman), we can now recursively pull all dependencies, regardless of version specifiers and whether they are already satisfied in the local database. This could be used to update pacman on a system with an old glibc, for example, as both pacman and glibc would get pulled into the transaction. This is most useful with --needed to prevent needless reinstalls as described in the man page changes. The end goal of this change is to wire it into SyncFirst and have it be the default mode of operation there, but that belongs in a separate changeset. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
* 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>

* | Let pacman specify GnuPG's home directory.Chris Brannon2011-03-23
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | GnuPG looks for configuration files and keyrings in its home directory. For a user, that is typically ~/.gnupg. This patch causes pacman to use /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/ as the default GnuPG home. One may override the default using --gpgdir on the command-line or GPGDir in pacman's configuration file.

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.

* Use sync.c for upgrade transaction prepare and commitNagy Gabor2009-09-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch utilizes the power of sync.c to fix FS#3492 and FS#5798. Now an upgrade transaction is just a sync transaction internally (in alpm), so all sync features are available with -U as well: * conflict resolving * sync dependencies from sync repos * remove unresolvable targets See http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2009-June/008725.html for the concept. We use "mixed" target list, where PKG_FROM_FILE origin indicates local package file, PKG_FROM_CACHE indicates sync package. The front-end can add only one type of packages (depending on transaction type) atm, but if alpm resolves dependencies for -U, we may get a real mixed trans->packages list. _alpm_pkg_free_trans() was modified so that it can handle both target types _alpm_add_prepare() was removed, we use _alpm_sync_prepare() instead _alpm_add_commit() was renamed to _alpm_upgrade_targets() sync.c (and deps.c) was modified slightly to handle mixed target lists, the modifications are straightforward. There is one notable change here: We don't create new upgrade trans in sync.c, we replace the pkgcache entries with the loaded package files in the target list (this is a bit hackish) and call _alpm_upgrade_targets(). This implies a TODO (pkg->origin_data.db is not accessible anymore), but it doesn't hurt anything with pacman front-end, so it will be fixed later (otherwise this patch would be huge). I updated the documentation of -U and I added a new pactest, upgrade090.py, to test the syncdeps feature of -U.

* Introduce -SuuNagy Gabor2009-07-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the user switches from unstable repo to a stable one, it is quite hard to sync its system with the new repo (the user will see many "Local is newer than stable" messages, nothing more). That's why I introduced -Suu, which treats a sync package like an upgrade, iff the package version doesn't match with the local one's. I added a new pactest (sync104.py) to test this, and I updated the documentation of -Su.

* New feature: files verificationDan McGee2009-07-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This implements FS#13877. Add a new option "-Qk" which checks if all of the files for a given package (or packages) are really on the system (i.e. not accidentally deleted). This can be combined with filters and other display options. It also respects both the --quiet and --verbose flags to give varying levels of output.

* Cleanup of _alpm_pkg_compare_versions.Xavier Chantry2008-08-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Change the return values to be more informative. It was previously boolean, only indicating if a sync package was newer than a local package. Now it is a simple wrapper to vercmp, handling the force flag. * Remove the verbose output from _alpm_pkg_compare_versions. The "force" message is not so useful. The "package : local (v1) is newer than repo (v2)" message can be moved to -Su operation. For the -S operation, it is better to have something like : "downgrading package from v1 to v2" * Don't display the "up to date -- skipping" and "up to date -- reinstalling" messages, when the local version is newer than the sync one. * Fix the behavior of --needed option to not skip a target when the local version is newer, and clarify its description. * Add a new alpm_pkg_has_force function This allows us to access the pkg->force field like any other package fields.

* Fix vercmp and add additional testsDan McGee2008-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This vercmp issue has been a sticking point but this should resolve many of the issues that have come up. Only a few minor code changes were necessary to get the behavior we desired, and this version appears to beat any other vercmp rendition on a few more cases added in this commit. This commit passes all 58 vercmp tests currently out there. Other 'fixes' still fail on a few tests, namely these ones: test: ver1: 1.5.a ver2: 1.5 ret: -1 expected: 1 ==> FAILURE test: ver1: 1.5 ver2: 1.5.a ret: 1 expected: -1 ==> FAILURE test: ver1: 1.5-1 ver2: 1.5.b ret: 1 expected: -1 ==> FAILURE test: ver1: 1.5.b ver2: 1.5-1 ret: -1 expected: 1 ==> FAILURE 4 of 58 tests failed Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
* sync_addtarget reworkNagy Gabor2008-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now '-S provision' handling is done in the back-end. In case of multiple providers, the first one is selected (behavior change: deleted provision002.py). The old processing order was: literal, group, provision; the new one: literal, provision, group. This is more rational, but "pacman -S group" will be slower now. "pacman -S repo/provision" also works. Provision was generalized to dependencies, so you can resolve deps by hand: "pacman -S 'bash>2.0'" or "pacman -S 'core/bash>2.0'" etc. This can be useful in makepkg dependency resolving. The changes were documented in pacman manual. alpm_find_pkg_satisfiers and _alpm_find_dep_satisfiers functions were removed, since they are no longer needed. I added some verbosity to "select provider instead of literal" and "fallback to group". Signed-off-by: Nagy Gabor <ngaba@bibl.u-szeged.hu> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
