2014-08-09pacman(8): Improve grammar and quotingJason St. John1-5/+5
Notable changes: * Add double quotes around printf-like formatting options for "--print-format" * Add a missing backslash in '--force' Signed-off-by: Jason St. John <jstjohn@purdue.edu> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2013-10-14imply --print from --print-formatAndrew Gregory1-1/+1
--print-format is totally useless without --print. Implying --print will also save us the hassle of checking it when we add transaction option validation. Signed-off-by: Andrew Gregory <andrew.gregory.8@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2013-02-24Perform limited conflict checking with --forceAllan McRae1-0/+2
Pacman currently bails when trying to extract a file over a directory when using --force. Instead of ignoring all conflict, perform the check and skip any file-file conflicts. Conflicts between directories and files are still flagged and cause the transation to abort. As a bonus, we now know about files changing packages when using --force, so we can skip removing them fixing upgrade046. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2012-02-15Revert "Add -S --recursive operation"Dan McGee1-7/+0
This reverts commit f3fa77bcf1d792971c314f8c0de255866e89f3f3 along with making other necessary changes to fully back this (mis)feature out until we can do it correctly. The quick summary here is this was not implemented correctly; provides are not fully taken into account in this logic, and making that happen exposes a lot of other flaws in this code that are covered up later on in the dependency resolving process by several other pieces of convoluted and conditional logic. Tests have been adjusted accordingly. Some test EXISTS conditions have been removed as we already know the package is installed locally, and we also are checking the VERSION condition anyway. With these two related revert commits, we do have some changes in test pass/fail results: * upgrade078.py: does not pass, this is due to --recursive getting removed for -U/-S operations after this commit. * sync302.py: the version checks have been disabled, so this test continues to pass but has been scaled back in scope. * sync303.py: now passes, was failing before. * sync304.py: still failing, was failing before. * sync305.py: now passes, was failing before. * sync306.py: still passes, was passing before.

2012-01-18Don't remove unknown files in cache cleaning codeDan McGee1-1/+1
This removes the hack I added to skip '*.sig' files earlier since there are other files that also fall into the same bucket- source packages from `makepkg --source`, delta files, etc. Rather than prompting for each and every one, simply skip them. Doing '-Scc' rather than '-Sc' will delete these files if that is really what you want to do. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-10-14Remove -f short option for --forceDan McGee1-1/+1
This is not something that should be used on a frequent basis, and giving it a short option encourages use without making the drawbacks obvious. For the 1% of situations that require it, the 5 extra keystrokes are a fair price to pay. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-08-23vercmp: ensure 2.0a and 2.0.a do not compare equalDan McGee1-1/+1
We had this interesting set of facts conundrum, according to vercmp return values: 2.0a < 2.0 2.0 < 2.0.a 2.0a == 2.0.a This introduces a code change that ensures '2.0a < 2.0.a' as would be expected by the first two comparisons. Unfortunately this stays us a bit further from upstream RPM code, but those are the breaks (in RPM, the versions involving 'a' do in fact compare the same, but they are both greater than the bare '2.0'). Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-08-11pacman: remove --dbonly shortoptDave Reisner1-1/+1
This is somewhat of a dangerous option with limited use cases. Don't advertise it as an easily accessibly option. Signed-off-by: Dave Reisner <dreisner@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-08-11Allow --needed and --recursive on -U operationsDan McGee1-1/+12
Trivial to implement as the same backend machinery is used anyway. Document it and add it to the accepted options. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-08-11Add -S --recursive operationDan McGee1-0/+7
This closely matches what we had before for -R --recursive. Basically, when specifying a target (e.g., pacman), we can now recursively pull all dependencies, regardless of version specifiers and whether they are already satisfied in the local database. This could be used to update pacman on a system with an old glibc, for example, as both pacman and glibc would get pulled into the transaction. This is most useful with --needed to prevent needless reinstalls as described in the man page changes. The end goal of this change is to wire it into SyncFirst and have it be the default mode of operation there, but that belongs in a separate changeset. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-07-28Unify modelines in Asciidoc filesDan McGee1-1/+1
This gets us close to using the same modeline in all files we run through Asciidoc, as well as adding the spell and spelllang declarations, just as we had in NEWS already. The choice of 'en_us' is mainly for consistency and because the body of work already uses these spellings. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2011-03-23Let pacman specify GnuPG's home directory.Chris Brannon1-0/+7
GnuPG looks for configuration files and keyrings in its home directory. For a user, that is typically ~/.gnupg. This patch causes pacman to use /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/ as the default GnuPG home. One may override the default using --gpgdir on the command-line or GPGDir in pacman's configuration file.

2010-12-12alpm/remove.c : respect --dbonly during remove-upgradeXavier Chantry1-2/+0
When a -Sk or -Uk operation induced a removal of an existing local package, --dbonly was not in effect and the files were all removed. Fixing this behavior was already marked as TODO in database012 pactest ------------ TODO: I honestly think the above should NOT delete the original les, it hould upgrade the DB entry without touching anything on the file stem. E.g. this test should be the same as: pacman -R --dbonly dummy && pacman -U --dbonly dummy.pkg.tar.gz ------------ Signed-off-by: Xavier Chantry <chantry.xavier@gmail.com> [Dan: small coding style touchup] Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2010-05-05Introduce -D, --databaseNagy Gabor1-0/+6
The request of FS#12950 is implemented. On the backend side, I introduced a new function, alpm_db_set_pkgreason(), to modify the install reason of a package in the local database. On the front-end side, I introduced a new main operation, -D/--database, which has two options, --asdeps and --asexplicit. I documented this in pacman manual.
