* makepkg: run pkgver() and prepare() with --noextractAllan McRae2015-12-15
| | | | | | | | | | Modifications made to the source before running with --noextract may alter the version string returned by pkgver(). Always run this function if present and check build status before proceeding. Fixes FS#46800. Also run prepare() when --noextract is used (unless --noprepare is specified).

* alpm-hooks: add Description fieldAllan McRae2015-12-15
| | | | | | | | | The "Description" field allows a hook to provide a some text for frontends to use in describing what the hook is doing. For example: Description = updating info page directory Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

* makepkg: Add flag for printing SRCINFO to stdoutJohannes Löthberg2015-06-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds a makepkg option to generate and print the SRCINFO file for a PKGBUILD, required by the new AUR, to stdout. AUR 4.0 will use Git instead of source tarballs for uploading packages, so making makepkg capable of printing the SRCINFO would simplify package management, instead of having to extract it from a source tarball. It is also useful for scripting other things, so that instead of having to parse PKGBUILDs, one can make makepkg generate the SRCINFO and then you can parse that instead, which is much simpler and less error-prone.

* makepkg-template.1: Clarify which file version-less markers useWieland Hoffmann2015-06-20
| | | | | | | | | The old text could be interpreted such that makepkg-template compares the version numbers of the templates to find the most recent one. Rephrase this to make it explicit that "$template_name.template" is used. Signed-off-by: Florian Pritz <bluewind@xinu.at>

* makepkg-template: support multiple --template-dirsDominik Fischer2015-05-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Especially when maintaining local templates in addition to the ones stored in /usr/share/makepkg-template, it can be useful to include templates stored in multiple different locations into one PKGBUILD. This patch makes this possible by allowing --template-dir to be specified multiple times. This also introduces a dedicated error message when a template cannot be found, in contrast to the already existing "Couldn't detect version for template '%s'". If a template of the same name is present in more than one of the given directories, the last one always takes precedence. Neither the default behaviour without the option given, nor the handling of a single template dir is changed.

* makepkg: show full fingerprint on pgp failureDave Reisner2014-10-13
| | | | | | | | | Rather than implementing suffix matching, which might clash, let's just print the full fingerprint of the err'ing key so that the user can copy/paste it into validpgpkeys.

* makepkg: allow less than the full fingerprint in validpgpkeysDave Reisner2014-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I found this feature confusing, and the documentation wasn't any help. It was pointed out to me on IRC that validpgpkeys expects full fingerprints, and won't accept shorter forms. This makes the documentation insufficient, and the variable name itself misleading. This patch bolsters the documentation to explain more about what the contents should be, and implements suffix matching to allow matching on shorters fingerprint suffices. Now, when makepkg tells you that a key ID isn't valid, it's sufficient to manually check the key ID against the known good ID, and add it as is to validpgpkeys.

* PKGBUILD: add support for arch-specific sourcesDave Reisner2014-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This implements support for declarations such as: arch=('i686' 'x86_64') ... source=("somescript.sh") source_i686=("http://evilmonster.com/i686/ponies-9001-1.i686.bin") source_x86_64=("http://evilmonster.com/i686/ponies-9001-1.x86_64.bin") md5sums=('d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e') md5sums_i686=('e4ca381035a34b7a852184cc0dd89baa') md5sums_x86_64=('4019740e6998f30a3c534bac6a83f582') Just the same as the "untagged" sources, multiple integrity algorithms are supported. The manpage is updated to reflect support for these suffices. This commit also refactors download_sources slightly: 1) to use the otherwise preferred convention of lowercase local variable names, and to make the handling of $1 more clear. 2) rename the "fast" parameter to "novcs", to make it more clear what this token does. 3) add a new possible token "allarch" to ensure that download_sources will fetch all sources, for all architectures.

* PKGBUILD: handle arch specific attributesDave Reisner2014-08-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces support for architecture-specific conflicts, depends, optdepends, makedepends, replaces, and conflicts by appending "_$CARCH" to the array name. For example, in the global section: arch=('i686' 'x86_64') depends=('foo') depends_x86_64=('bar') This will generate depends of 'foo' and 'bar' on x86_64, but only 'foo' on i686. Moreover, this is supported in the package functions with the same heuristics as the generic names, e.g. ... arch=('i686' 'x86_64') depends=('foo') ... package_somepkg() { depends_x86_64=('bar') ... } Again, will cause x86_64 to have depends of 'foo' and 'bar', but only 'foo' for i686.
