* Update the documentation of -Qs and -SsNagy Gabor2009-06-23
| | | | | | | | | It was undocumented that multiple regexps are interpreted using logical AND. Thanks to Recursive@#archlinux for his help. Signed-off-by: Nagy Gabor <ngaba@bibl.u-szeged.hu> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
* Document -T in the manualNagy Gabor2009-06-06

* Change package to package(s) and file to file(s) in documentationNagy Gabor2009-06-01
| | | | | | | | The pacman --help pages and the manual suggested that only one package can be upgraded/removed per transaction. Signed-off-by: Nagy Gabor <ngaba@bibl.u-szeged.hu> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
* Query documentation updatesNagy Gabor2009-05-18
| | | | | | | | | | The old documentation didn't emphasize our filtering options at all, and it was a bit misleading. ("List ALL...") I also clarified the description of -Qu. Signed-off-by: Nagy Gabor <ngaba@bibl.u-szeged.hu> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
* Remove version information from -Qqo outputDan McGee2009-05-11
| | | | | | | This was the only --quiet operation that showed version information; make it consistent with the rest. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
* Introduce -QlqNagy Gabor2009-05-11
| | | | | | | | With --quiet flag, -Ql doesn't print the package name, just lists the files. I made --quiet documentation up-to-date (I also added -Sgq/-Qgq). Signed-off-by: Nagy Gabor <ngaba@bibl.u-szeged.hu> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
* Document --debugNagy Gabor2009-04-05
| | | | | | | | After some irc/forum experiences, I decided to document this option. However, I left the debug-level undocumented (--debug=2). Signed-off-by: Nagy Gabor <ngaba@bibl.u-szeged.hu> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

* 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>

* | Add new CleanMethod option.Chantry Xavier2008-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As it was already mentioned several times, the new -Sc behavior in 3.1 is great, but only when the package cache is not shared. This option has two possible values : KeepInstalled and KeepCurrent With KeepCurrent, -Sc will clean packages that are no longer available in any sync db, rather than packages that are no longer in the local db. The resulting behavior should be better for shared cache.

* | New remove option : -u / --unneeded (FS#6505).Nagy Gabor2008-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With --unneeded option 'pacman -R' doesn't stop in case of dependency error; it removes the needed-dependency targets from the target-list instead. See also: http://archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2007-October/009653.html . The patch also adds a new causingpkg field to pmdepmissing_t which indicates the to-be-removed package which would cause a dependency break. This is needed, because miss->depend.name may be a provision. miss->causingpkg will be useful in -R dependency error messages too. [Xavier: renamed inducer to causingpkg, removed the _alpm_pkgname_pkg_cmp helper function as requested by Aaron. This might be added by a further commit. Other small cleanups, updated manpage and bash completion.] Signed-off-by: Chantry Xavier <shiningxc@gmail.com>
* | New --asexplicit optionNagy Gabor2008-01-21
|/ | | | | | | | | | | This is the symmetric of --asdeps, install packages explicitly. Documentation and completion files were updated accordingly. Added sync301.py and upgrade032.py pactest files to test this. I also made a little modification in ALLDEPS handling too.

* Rename -t --orphans to -t --unrequired (FS#9144).Chantry Xavier2008-01-10
| | | | | | | | | | It turns out the orphan name was misleading. Real orphans are packages installed as dependency no longer required by any others (-Qtd). The -t option only shows package not required by any others, so --unrequired describes it better. Signed-off-by: Chantry Xavier <shiningxc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Between AsciiDoc 8.2.2 and 8.2.3, the following change was made to the stock Asciidoc configuration: @@ -149,7 +153,10 @@ # Inline macros. # Backslash prefix required for escape processing. # (?s) re flag for line spanning. -(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>\w(\w|-)*?):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])= + +# Explicit so they can be nested. +(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>(http|https|ftp|file|mailto|callto|image|link)):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])= + # Anchor: [[[id]]].

* Add new --needed option for -S.Chantry Xavier2007-12-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During a pacman operation such as a group install, pacman can ask several questions such as "local version is up to date. Upgrade anyway?". They are usually all answered either by yes or by no: * yes when you want to reinstall all the targets. * no when you only want to install the missing ones (either because you are installing a group, or because you are copying a pacman -S line from wiki or whatever). So instead of asking this question for each target, it is now now configured with a flag. Yes will be the default -S behavior, No will be achieved with the --needed flag.
