2014-08-09pkgdelta(8): Fix broken example of --min-pkg-size with human-readable valuesJason St. John1-2/+2
The example for human-readable values must not contain a space between the value and the unit; otherwise, pkgdelta will not recognize the command options and will error out. In prose, however, there should be a space between the value and the unit. Signed-off-by: Jason St. John <jstjohn@purdue.edu> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2014-08-08PKGBUILD: handle arch specific attributesDave Reisner1-0/+21
This introduces support for architecture-specific conflicts, depends, optdepends, makedepends, replaces, and conflicts by appending "_$CARCH" to the array name. For example, in the global section: arch=('i686' 'x86_64') depends=('foo') depends_x86_64=('bar') This will generate depends of 'foo' and 'bar' on x86_64, but only 'foo' on i686. Moreover, this is supported in the package functions with the same heuristics as the generic names, e.g. ... arch=('i686' 'x86_64') depends=('foo') ... package_somepkg() { depends_x86_64=('bar') ... } Again, will cause x86_64 to have depends of 'foo' and 'bar', but only 'foo' for i686.

2014-08-04makepkg: skip dependency checking with --verifysourceAllan McRae1-1/+3
Dependencies are now handled with --nobuild unless specificially skipped. Using --verifysource will skip dependency checks unless --syncdeps is specified. Fixes FS#35057 and FS#36999. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

Add support for following the XDG Base Directory Specification when reading the user-specific configuration file.

Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2014-05-25makepkg: Force buildscripts to be in startdirAllan McRae1-1/+2
We expect all source file to lie in $startdir. However, using "makepkg -p <buildscript>" can currently allows people to specify buildscripts in other directories. This results in confusion about where other sources should lie (in startdir or in the directory that the buildscript is in). Explicitly disable using -p for files in other directories to avoid this issue. Fixes FS#40293. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2014-05-23makepkg: Introduce validpgpkeys arrayThomas Bächler1-0/+8
If validpgpkeys is set in the PKGBUILD, signature checking fails if the fingerprint of the key used to create the signature is not listed in the array. The key's trust value is ignored. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2014-03-12makepkg: enforce fakeroot usageAllan McRae1-4/+1
Packaging outside of fakeroot can result in incorrect permissions for package files. It has been years since fakeroot issues during packaging were common, so it is safe to enforce fakeroot usage. If using fakeroot is impossible for some reason, a two line wrapper script will suffice to fool makepkg. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2014-03-12makepkg: Remove --asroot optionAllan McRae1-5/+0
The days of fakeroot being error ridden are long gone, so there is no valid reason to run makepkg as root. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2014-03-12makepkg: Add a --noarchive option to inhibit archive creationPierre Neidhardt1-0/+5
1. Packagers who want to test the package() function, i.e. to check the content of the pkg/ folder. 2. Developers who want to check how the packaged version of a program looks, in other words how the pkg/ folder looks. 3. For users of systems with no port tree, makepkg can ease package creation. However the resulting archive of the whole makepkg process is often useless. For all situations, makepkg will usually be called several times. But no archive (the final package) is needed in any cases. The archive creation ends up being a waste of time and resource, especially for big applications and slow machines. Since this option aborts the process prematurely, it behaves like the -o,--nobuild option, i.e. any other option acting on later stages in the process will be automatically discarded. For --noarchive, it means that in $ makepkg --noarchive --install the '--install' option does not do anything.
