2009-04-11doc: move files around for consistencyDan McGee4-2/+254
Move some of our documentation files, even though they aren't manpages, to the doc/ directory. This allows the new 'html' make target to manage them. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2009-01-16makepkg: add optional package functionAllan McRae1-0/+8
This patch allows us to split the building and packaging stages of a PKGBUILD and minimize fakeroot usage. This can be done with less code duplication (run_build and run_package look quite similiar) but the run_package function will be where the package splitting logic is implemented in the future.

2009-01-12makepkg : fix a lot of breakages caused by AllanXavier Chantry1-2/+3
This patch started as a simple typo fix (pugre instead of purge in two places), as well as a fix of a test which was using PURGE_TARGETS instead of $PURGE_TARGETS. It evolved in a slight handling change of the OPTIONS which have a variable affecting their behavior (strip STRIP_DIRS, docs DOC_DIRS, zipman MAN_DIRS and purge PURGE_TARGETS), as well as a clarification in makepkg.conf. Now when a variable is undefined or empty, the corresponding option will have no effect. It looked weird to have a fallback when a option is defined but empty, it seems more natural to not have any fallbacks. Also re-enable docs by default. It seems arbitrary to delete files from packages by default, and it would be more vanilla and distro agnostic to keep them. docs was also the only negated option.

2009-01-03makepkg: Introduce purge optionAllan McRae1-0/+9
The purge option, combined with the PURGE_TARGETS variable, allows makepkg to automatically remove commonly confliting or removed files (e.g. /usr/share/info/dir, *.pod). Original work: Tim Yang Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2009-01-03makepkg: provide MAN_DIRS configuration variableAllan McRae1-1/+8
Provides a MAN_DIRS variable in makepkg.conf which can be used to specify folders to look for manual (man and info) pages to be compressed. Useful for packages that install to /opt. Also clarifies that "zipman" means "zip manuals" and covers both man and info pages.

2008-10-12Attempt to idiot-proof making and refreshing docsDan McGee1-10/+12
I mess this up more often than not, and maybe this will do the trick. Remove the --enable-asciidoc option as it has been superseded by the --disable-doc option in usefulness. If you want to skip building docs, you skip building all docs which is much easier when it comes to ensuring the make 'dist' and 'distcheck' targets will always build the manpages and always build the most up to date manpages. Developers shouldn't be affected in their normal builds, nor should end users of the source tarball. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2008-08-25makepkg : allow to specify a download filenameXavier Chantry2-6/+11
A source entry can now have the following form, to specify a different filename : "filename::http://path/to/file" Of course, the old syntax is still supported : "http://path/to/file" And as before, in the second case, the filename used is simply "file". This fixes FS#11292, because handling multiple source files with the same name is now possible (just choose a different filename). But it will also allow to deal much more nicely with funny url like this by using a sane filename (and unfortunately, there are quite a few) : http://www.vim.org/scripts/download_script.php?src_id=6992 Signed-off-by: Xavier Chantry <shiningxc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2008-08-25makepkg.conf : some info / docs adjustementsXavier Chantry1-3/+4
After commit 7865fb9af487, info pages are now treated like man pages. This means even with !docs, info pages will still be included. And including info pages was the main reason the docs option was enabled by default recently. So this is now longer needed, and we can revert back to !docs by default for disabling gigantic html pages and other docs.

2008-08-23Remove DB_COMPRESSION and DB_CHECKSUMS from makepkg.confXavier Chantry1-1/+1
DB_COMPRESSION was only used in repo-add and DB_CHECKSUMS was not used anywhere. This also removes the dependency on makepkg.conf in repo-add, so repo-add no longer needs to source makepkg.conf And instead of DB_COMPRESSION, it seems better to just check the extension of the repository file. It does not make sense to have a tar.gz file with a tar.bz2 extension or whatever. Signed-off-by: Xavier Chantry <shiningxc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2008-08-23Treat info pages like man pagesAllan McRae2-6/+6
As far a package building is concerned, info pages need to be treated in the same fashion as man pages in that they both can be compressed. This separates them from other forms of documentation and so it makes sense to make that distinction within makepkg.

2008-08-23Cleanup of _alpm_pkg_compare_versions.Xavier Chantry1-1/+1
* Change the return values to be more informative. It was previously boolean, only indicating if a sync package was newer than a local package. Now it is a simple wrapper to vercmp, handling the force flag. * Remove the verbose output from _alpm_pkg_compare_versions. The "force" message is not so useful. The "package : local (v1) is newer than repo (v2)" message can be moved to -Su operation. For the -S operation, it is better to have something like : "downgrading package from v1 to v2" * Don't display the "up to date -- skipping" and "up to date -- reinstalling" messages, when the local version is newer than the sync one. * Fix the behavior of --needed option to not skip a target when the local version is newer, and clarify its description. * Add a new alpm_pkg_has_force function This allows us to access the pkg->force field like any other package fields.

2008-07-24Fix vercmp and add additional testsDan McGee1-1/+1
This vercmp issue has been a sticking point but this should resolve many of the issues that have come up. Only a few minor code changes were necessary to get the behavior we desired, and this version appears to beat any other vercmp rendition on a few more cases added in this commit. This commit passes all 58 vercmp tests currently out there. Other 'fixes' still fail on a few tests, namely these ones: test: ver1: 1.5.a ver2: 1.5 ret: -1 expected: 1 ==> FAILURE test: ver1: 1.5 ver2: 1.5.a ret: 1 expected: -1 ==> FAILURE test: ver1: 1.5-1 ver2: 1.5.b ret: 1 expected: -1 ==> FAILURE test: ver1: 1.5.b ver2: 1.5-1 ret: -1 expected: 1 ==> FAILURE 4 of 58 tests failed Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2008-07-13sync_addtarget reworkNagy Gabor1-1/+3
Now '-S provision' handling is done in the back-end. In case of multiple providers, the first one is selected (behavior change: deleted provision002.py). The old processing order was: literal, group, provision; the new one: literal, provision, group. This is more rational, but "pacman -S group" will be slower now. "pacman -S repo/provision" also works. Provision was generalized to dependencies, so you can resolve deps by hand: "pacman -S 'bash>2.0'" or "pacman -S 'core/bash>2.0'" etc. This can be useful in makepkg dependency resolving. The changes were documented in pacman manual. alpm_find_pkg_satisfiers and _alpm_find_dep_satisfiers functions were removed, since they are no longer needed. I added some verbosity to "select provider instead of literal" and "fallback to group". Signed-off-by: Nagy Gabor <ngaba@bibl.u-szeged.hu> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

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).
