2008-05-13Add SyncFirst option.Chantry Xavier1-0/+6
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).

2008-03-23Add new CleanMethod option.Chantry Xavier1-0/+9
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.

2008-03-17Drop case insensitive comparisons in the config parsing.Chantry Xavier1-0/+2
These case insensitive comparisons didn't work in some locales, like tr_TR where upper(i) != I. So a second case sensitive comparison had to be made for each directive. Only keeping case sensitive comparisons make the code cleaner and treat all locales equally. Ref: http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2008-March/011445.html Also fix pactests to use the correct case.

2007-12-29doc: rename manlink macro to linkmanDan McGee1-3/+3
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>
