* 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a SyncFirst transaction kicks in, no flags like '--force' are honored. This is for good reason, as honoring something like '--asdeps' could be quite unintentional. Document this fact and a possible workaround. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

* | 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.

| * Fix several issues with xdeltaXavier Chantry2009-03-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) The changes to sync.c look big but there are mostly caused by the indentation. Fix a bug where download_size == 0 because the packages and deltas are already in the cache, but we still need to build the deltas list and apply the deltas to create the final package. 2) Fix the gzip / md5sum issue by switching to xdelta3, disabling external recompression and using gzip -n in pacman, and disable bsdtar compression and using gzip -n in makepkg.
