| | | | | | | | | | 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>

| * 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.

* | makepkg: add optional package functionAllan McRae2009-01-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows us to split the building and packaging stages of a PKGBUILD and minimize fakeroot usage. This can be done with less code duplication (run_build and run_package look quite similiar) but the run_package function will be where the package splitting logic is implemented in the future.

* | makepkg : fix a lot of breakages caused by AllanXavier Chantry2009-01-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch started as a simple typo fix (pugre instead of purge in two places), as well as a fix of a test which was using PURGE_TARGETS instead of $PURGE_TARGETS. It evolved in a slight handling change of the OPTIONS which have a variable affecting their behavior (strip STRIP_DIRS, docs DOC_DIRS, zipman MAN_DIRS and purge PURGE_TARGETS), as well as a clarification in makepkg.conf. Now when a variable is undefined or empty, the corresponding option will have no effect. It looked weird to have a fallback when a option is defined but empty, it seems more natural to not have any fallbacks. Also re-enable docs by default. It seems arbitrary to delete files from packages by default, and it would be more vanilla and distro agnostic to keep them. docs was also the only negated option.

* | makepkg: Introduce purge optionAllan McRae2009-01-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The purge option, combined with the PURGE_TARGETS variable, allows makepkg to automatically remove commonly confliting or removed files (e.g. /usr/share/info/dir, *.pod).

Useful for packages that install to /opt. Also clarifies that "zipman" means "zip manuals" and covers both man and info pages.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I mess this up more often than not, and maybe this will do the trick. Remove the --enable-asciidoc option as it has been superseded by the --disable-doc option in usefulness. If you want to skip building docs, you skip building all docs which is much easier when it comes to ensuring the make 'dist' and 'distcheck' targets will always build the manpages and always build the most up to date manpages. Developers shouldn't be affected in their normal builds, nor should end users of the source tarball. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

| * makepkg : allow to specify a download filenameXavier Chantry2008-08-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A source entry can now have the following form, to specify a different filename : "filename::http://path/to/file" Of course, the old syntax is still supported : "http://path/to/file" And as before, in the second case, the filename used is simply "file". This fixes FS#11292, because handling multiple source files with the same name is now possible (just choose a different filename). But it will also allow to deal much more nicely with funny url like this by using a sane filename (and unfortunately, there are quite a few) : http://www.vim.org/scripts/download_script.php?src_id=6992 Signed-off-by: Xavier Chantry <shiningxc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
* | makepkg.conf : some info / docs adjustementsXavier Chantry2008-08-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After commit 7865fb9af487, info pages are now treated like man pages. This means even with !docs, info pages will still be included. And including info pages was the main reason the docs option was enabled by default recently. So this is now longer needed, and we can revert back to !docs by default for disabling gigantic html pages and other docs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DB_COMPRESSION was only used in repo-add and DB_CHECKSUMS was not used anywhere. This also removes the dependency on makepkg.conf in repo-add, so repo-add no longer needs to source makepkg.conf And instead of DB_COMPRESSION, it seems better to just check the extension of the repository file. It does not make sense to have a tar.gz file with a tar.bz2 extension or whatever. Signed-off-by: Xavier Chantry <shiningxc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
* | Treat info pages like man pagesAllan McRae2008-08-23
|/ | | | | | | | | | As far a package building is concerned, info pages need to be treated in the same fashion as man pages in that they both can be compressed. This separates them from other forms of documentation and so it makes sense to make that distinction within makepkg.

* 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.
