2008-03-23Add new CleanMethod option.Chantry Xavier1-0/+3
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.

2008-03-22Kill the dependsonly option.Chantry Xavier1-4/+0
From the man page : "This is pretty useless and we're not sure why it even exists." Signed-off-by: Chantry Xavier <shiningxc@gmail.com>
2008-03-10Add -Rss optionNagy Gabor1-1/+1
* -Rss removes all dependencies (including explicitly installed ones). * updated documentation * two pactest files added to test the difference between -Rs and -Rss Signed-off-by: Nagy Gabor <ngaba@bibl.u-szeged.hu>
2008-03-08Remove the Add option from the command lineDan McGee1-7/+0
There is still a lot of code that could be cleaned up internally. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2008-02-06New remove option : -u / --unneeded (FS#6505).Nagy Gabor1-0/+5
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. Other small cleanups, updated manpage and bash completion.] Signed-off-by: Chantry Xavier <shiningxc@gmail.com>
2008-01-21New --asexplicit optionNagy Gabor1-1/+6
This is the symmetric of --asdeps, install packages explicitly. Documentation and completion files were updated accordingly. Added sync301.py and upgrade032.py pactest files to test this. I also made a little modification in ALLDEPS handling too. Signed-off-by: Nagy Gabor <ngaba@bibl.u-szeged.hu> Signed-off-by: Chantry Xavier <shiningxc@gmail.com>

2008-01-13doc: update documentation for --recursive and --cascadeChantry Xavier1-5/+7
This addresses some of the issues in FS#9192. Attempt to clarify the -Rc and -Rs options in the man page. Signed-off-by: Chantry Xavier <shiningxc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2008-01-10Rename -t --orphans to -t --unrequired (FS#9144).Chantry Xavier1-1/+1
It turns out the orphan name was misleading. Real orphans are packages installed as dependency no longer required by any others (-Qtd). The -t option only shows package not required by any others, so --unrequired describes it better. Signed-off-by: Chantry Xavier <shiningxc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2007-12-29doc: rename manlink macro to linkmanDan McGee1-5/+5
Between AsciiDoc 8.2.2 and 8.2.3, the following change was made to the stock Asciidoc configuration: @@ -149,7 +153,10 @@ # Inline macros. # Backslash prefix required for escape processing. # (?s) re flag for line spanning. -(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>\w(\w|-)*?):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])= + +# Explicit so they can be nested. +(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>(http|https|ftp|file|mailto|callto|image|link)):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])= + # Anchor: [[[id]]]. Bibliographic anchor. (?su)[\\]?\[\[\[(?P<attrlist>[\w][\w-]*?)\]\]\]=anchor3 # Anchor: [[id,xreflabel]] This default regex now matches explicit values, and unfortunately in this case manlink was being matched by just 'link', causing the wrong inline macro template to be applied. By renaming the macro, we can avoid being matched by the wrong regex. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2007-12-02Add new --needed option for -S.Chantry Xavier1-0/+3
During a pacman operation such as a group install, pacman can ask several questions such as "local version is up to date. Upgrade anyway?". They are usually all answered either by yes or by no: * yes when you want to reinstall all the targets. * no when you only want to install the missing ones (either because you are installing a group, or because you are copying a pacman -S line from wiki or whatever). So instead of asking this question for each target, it is now now configured with a flag. Yes will be the default -S behavior, No will be achieved with the --needed flag.

2007-11-13Make it easier to ignore multiple packages.Nathan Jones1-2/+4
This makes --ignore and --ignoregroup able to accept multiple packages/groups by separating each with a comma.

Spruce up the asciidoc formatting, fix a few issues that we had. Formatting now looks pretty good in both the manpage output and the XHTML output. Also added some options that we have changed since 3.0, and a few wording updates, etc. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
