| * 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.

* | Remove DB_COMPRESSION and DB_CHECKSUMS from makepkg.confXavier Chantry2008-08-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* 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 SyncFirst option.Chantry Xavier2008-05-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch offers a way to fix FS#9228. By putting "SyncFirst = pacman" in pacman.conf, the version check will happen before the transaction really starts, and before any replacements is made. Otherwise, no version check is done. The sync301 pactest was updated to use this SyncFirst option. Example session with SyncFirst = pacman, and a newer pacman version available : $ pacman -Su (or pacman -S <any targets>) :: the following packages should be upgraded first : pacman :: Do you want to cancel the current operation :: and upgrade these packages now? [Y/n] resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts... Targets: pacman-x.y.z-t Total Download Size: x.xx MB Total Installed Size: x.xx MB Proceed with installation? [Y/n] n As Nagy previously noted, doing this check on any -S operations might look intrusive, but it can be required. For example, the case where you want to install a package with versioned provisions, using a pacman version which didn't support that feature yet (and there is already a newer pacman in sync db supporting it).

If set to NO (the default), the Javadoc-style will behave just like regular Qt-style comments (thus requiring an explicit @brief command for a brief description.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These case insensitive comparisons didn't work in some locales, like tr_TR where upper(i) != I.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Download to *.part and remove the suffix if successful, thus md5sums will be checked only for complete files, and next time makepkg will resume downloading of partial file instead of complaining about invalid md5sums. Old DLAGENTS format is still supported. Late fix: Do not try to download %u first The output of grep was not suppressed, thus the output of get_downloadcmd was wrong because of extra line at the beginning that contained an unsubstituted (with %o and %u) entry from DLAGENTS.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Change the versioned provision format.Chantry Xavier2008-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the 'provname provver' format to 'provname=provver'. In .PKGINFO, the provisions are copied from the PKGBUILD without quotes. So the provision version was actually handled as a different provision... See FS#9171. Dan: Unfortunately we have to change our original specification for versioned provisions with this patch, but it ends up being the simpler and cleaner solution in the long run, and if there is any time to change it the time is now before many packages have been built. Keeping the ' ' based format would have required us to do special parsing in repo-add, as well as being susceptible to users not using quotes in their provides array. Hopefully this will resolve the issues we had with our initial plan. Sorry for the confusion.
