* repo-add: allow signing of the package databaseDan McGee2011-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to be fully secure, we can't only sign packages. We also need to sign our repository metadata to prevent database falsification, dependency injection, etc. Add an '-s/--sign' option that allows this functionality, and will generate a .sig file side-by-side with the package database. While at it, fix the issue where a signature file would never be found because of 'cd' madness (this needs fixing in another commit). Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
* Add GPG signature support to makepkgGeoffroy Carrier2011-03-22
| | | | | | | | | This is a rather simple patch to add signing support to makepkg. Add a create_signature() to makepkg, add a 'sign' BUILDENV option in makepkg.conf, and document the changes in the makepkg.conf manpage.

| * | Remove epoch as an independent fieldDan McGee2011-01-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead, go the same route we have always taken with version-release in libalpm and treat it all as one piece of information. Makepkg is the only script that knows about epoch as a distinct value; from there on out we will parse out the components as necessary. This makes the code a lot simpler as far as epoch handling goes. The downside here is that we are tossing some compatibility to the wind; packages using force will have to be rebuilt with an incremented epoch to keep their special status.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the "buildflags" option, which is useful in its negative form for disabling CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS when building a package.

* | makepkg: Add check() function for running test suitesAllan McRae2010-12-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A PKGBUILD can have an option check() function for running test suites between the build() and package() stages. This function is run by default but can be disabled globally in with "!check" in BUILDENV in makepkg.conf. This setting can be controlled on an individual package basis using makepkg's --check and --nocheck flags. Addition dependencies needed for running the test suite can be specified in the checkdepends array and are only checked when running the check() function.

* | 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.
