* alpm/remove.c : respect --dbonly during remove-upgradeXavier Chantry2010-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a -Sk or -Uk operation induced a removal of an existing local package, --dbonly was not in effect and the files were all removed. Fixing this behavior was already marked as TODO in database012 pactest ------------ TODO: I honestly think the above should NOT delete the original les, it hould upgrade the DB entry without touching anything on the file stem. E.g. this test should be the same as: pacman -R --dbonly dummy && pacman -U --dbonly dummy.pkg.tar.gz ------------ Signed-off-by: Xavier Chantry <chantry.xavier@gmail.com> [Dan: small coding style touchup] Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
* CLI args: update --help and manpageXavier Chantry2010-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The three parts (help, manpage and code) are now organized in the same way and much easier to compare : - specific options - install/upgrade options for -S and -U - transaction options for -S -R and -U - global options After this re-organization, it was easy to update and sync the three components together. Duplication is also avoided. Signed-off-by: Xavier Chantry <chantry.xavier@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the following, the letters SRUDQ refer to the corresponding pacman operations. Most of the work in this commit is about removing as many options as possible from the global section and moving them to where they actually belong. Additionally, --ignore{,group} are added to U and --dbonly is added to S. --dbonly added to S --asdeps moved to S/U/D --asexplicit moved to S/U/D --print-format moved to S/U/R --noprogressbar moved to S/U/R --noscriptlet moved to S/U/R --ignorepkg added to U --ignoregrp added to U -d moved to S/U/R (--nodeps) and Q (--deps) -p moved to S/U/R (--print) and Q (--file) -f moved to S/U Signed-off-by: Xavier Chantry <chantry.xavier@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

* makepkg: remove STRIP_DIRSAllan McRae2010-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For binary packages, the majority of the time used in the debugs symbol stripping process is the actual stripping of the binaries/libraries and not the testing of which files to strip. This allows more complete stripping of packages that install to "non-standard" paths that would not be generally included in makepkg.conf. Any performance hit that may be apparent for (_large_) "arch=('any')" packages can readily be avoided by disabling stripping in the PKGBUILD options array.

| | | | | | | | | | Commit 5fe41df8 broke `make distcheck` pretty badly for the doc directory. Looking at what this commit was trying to accomplish, it make sense to revert a lot of the build system changes and just simplify what we are showing in the man page anyway- an example, not exactly how it is configured on your system.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Compare a list of packages on the system before and after dependency resolution in order to get a complete list of packages to remove.

* Introduce -D, --databaseNagy Gabor2010-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The request of FS#12950 is implemented. On the backend side, I introduced a new function, alpm_db_set_pkgreason(), to modify the install reason of a package in the local database. 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.

* makepkg: allow specifying subsets of packages to buildAllan McRae2009-11-30
| | | | | | | | | | | This allows makepkg to only build a specified subset of packages from a split PKGBUILD.

* 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.

* | 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.

* | 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.

* | 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.
