2010-07-02docs: Add a 'website' targetDan McGee2-2/+13
This will allow me to be not quite as lazy in getting website changes out to the Arch Linux server by making it trivial to get everything packaged up and working correctly. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2010-06-16Fix distcheck invocation in doc/ directoryDan McGee2-19/+10
Commit 5fe41df8 broke `make distcheck` pretty badly for the doc directory. Looking at what this commit was trying to accomplish, it make sense to revert a lot of the build system changes and just simplify what we are showing in the man page anyway- an example, not exactly how it is configured on your system.

2010-05-13doc: fix up description of where example PKGBUILD is locatedDan McGee2-9/+9
As Allan pointed out, this actually ships with pacman (at least with Arch) and not necessarily with ABS or any other package. Also fix the language dealing with the prototype install files. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2010-05-05makepkg: rework --skipintegAllan McRae1-2/+1
The current --skipinteg is a bit weird. It does not skip integrity checks, but instead does them and prints a warning. Change this behaviour to actually skipping the checks. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2010-05-05makepkg: improve removal of installed dependenciesAllan McRae1-3/+3
Compare a list of packages on the system before and after dependency resolution in order to get a complete list of packages to remove. This allows makepkg to remove packages installed due to provides. Bail in cases where packages that were on the system originally have been removed as there is a risk of breaking the system when removing the new packages. Fixes FS#15144.

2010-05-05Improve documentation of -k/--dbonlyDan McGee1-3/+12
We had the long option wrong in some places and its behavior wasn't documented at all with regards to -U/--upgrade. 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. I've created two pactests to test -D: database001.py and database002.py. Signed-off-by: Nagy Gabor <ngaba@bibl.u-szeged.hu> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2010-03-14makepkg: make strip options configurableCedric Staniewski2-2/+23
The newly added variables STRIP_BINARIES, STRIP_SHARED and STRIP_STATIC, that are set in makepkg.conf, specify the strip options used on binaries and shared and static libraries. In addition, files are now stripped more aggressively by default. Implements FS#13592 the way it was suggested by Allan in the comments.

2009-12-13makepkg: allow to specify an alternative pacman commandCedric Staniewski1-0/+9
If PACMAN environment variable is set, makepkg will try to use this command to check for installed dependencies and to install or remove packages. Otherwise, makepkg will fall back to pacman.

2009-11-30makepkg: allow specifying subsets of packages to buildAllan McRae1-0/+4
This allows makepkg to only build a specified subset of packages from a split PKGBUILD. This is very useful in combination with the -R flag or when bumping the pkgrel of a single package. Fixes FS#15956. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2009-11-15makepkg: allow the use of only a package() functionCedric Staniewski1-6/+6
For some packages, generally the 'any' arch ones, a build step is not required and therefore can be skipped. In these cases, a package() function without a build() one is sufficient. As a side effect, this commit makes meta packages without any function at all in the PKGBUILD possible. Fixes FS#15147.

2009-10-20makepkg: allow overriding arch in split packagesAllan McRae1-1/+1
This allows building a mixture of binary and arch=any packages. Fixes FS#15955. The value of CARCH is no longer overridden to "any" in when arch=any is used and the assigning of the "any" arch is delayed to during the packaging stage. Adjustments were required to fix installing and checking for pre-built packages of varing arches. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2009-10-20makepkg: allow overriding pkgver and pkgrel in split packagesAllan McRae1-3/+3
Fixing a single package within a split package requires the overriding or pkgrel. In very rare (but existing) cases, it is useful to override pkgver. Partial fix for FS#15955. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2009-10-11Introduce new PKGBUILD variable `changelog`Cedric Staniewski1-1/+7
Currently, a changelog is added to a package if a specific file with a hardcoded name exists in the PKGBUILD's directory. This approach is not pretty and also inconsistent with the handling of install files, but it works. With the introduction of split PKGBUILDs, however, a drawback in this old behavior has arisen: you only have the possibility to include one specific changelog file in either every package defined in the PKGBUILD or in none. The use of an additional variable, `changelog`, works around this issue and makes it possible to include a changelog in only some of the packages, and besides, each package of the PKGBUILD can have its own changelog file.

2009-10-04doc: ensure SyncFirst behavior with flags is clearDan McGee1-2/+5
When a SyncFirst transaction kicks in, no flags like '--force' are honored. This is for good reason, as honoring something like '--asdeps' could be quite unintentional. Document this fact and a possible workaround. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2009-09-08Use sync.c for upgrade transaction prepare and commitNagy Gabor1-1/+2
This patch utilizes the power of sync.c to fix FS#3492 and FS#5798. Now an upgrade transaction is just a sync transaction internally (in alpm), so all sync features are available with -U as well: * conflict resolving * sync dependencies from sync repos * remove unresolvable targets See http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2009-June/008725.html for the concept. We use "mixed" target list, where PKG_FROM_FILE origin indicates local package file, PKG_FROM_CACHE indicates sync package. The front-end can add only one type of packages (depending on transaction type) atm, but if alpm resolves dependencies for -U, we may get a real mixed trans->packages list. _alpm_pkg_free_trans() was modified so that it can handle both target types _alpm_add_prepare() was removed, we use _alpm_sync_prepare() instead _alpm_add_commit() was renamed to _alpm_upgrade_targets() sync.c (and deps.c) was modified slightly to handle mixed target lists, the modifications are straightforward. There is one notable change here: We don't create new upgrade trans in sync.c, we replace the pkgcache entries with the loaded package files in the target list (this is a bit hackish) and call _alpm_upgrade_targets(). This implies a TODO (pkg->origin_data.db is not accessible anymore), but it doesn't hurt anything with pacman front-end, so it will be fixed later (otherwise this patch would be huge). I updated the documentation of -U and I added a new pactest, upgrade090.py, to test the syncdeps feature of -U.

2009-07-22Introduce -SuuNagy Gabor1-1/+4
If the user switches from unstable repo to a stable one, it is quite hard to sync its system with the new repo (the user will see many "Local is newer than stable" messages, nothing more). That's why I introduced -Suu, which treats a sync package like an upgrade, iff the package version doesn't match with the local one's. I added a new pactest (sync104.py) to test this, and I updated the documentation of -Su.

This implements FS#13877. Add a new option "-Qk" which checks if all of the files for a given package (or packages) are really on the system (i.e. not accidentally deleted). This can be combined with filters and other display options. It also respects both the --quiet and --verbose flags to give varying levels of output.
