2013-11-08makepkg: only remove static libraries if they have a shared versionAllan McRae2-2/+2
It is fairly common that packages contain static libraries with no shared counterpart. These should not be removed with !staticlibs. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

--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>

2013-09-04pacman: add front end support for repo usage levelDave Reisner1-0/+21
Add a "Usage" key to the repo section of the config which allows for the tokens "Search", "Install", "Upgrade", "All", which correspond to values in the alpm_db_usage_t enum. Users can specify "Usage" multiple times for a given repo, or multiple flags per "Usage" line and they will be OR'd together. If unspecified, the default is full usage of the repo.

2013-06-06repo-add; add option to remove existing package files from diskPhillip Smith1-0/+4
When maintaining a custom repo, often it is undesirable to retain older versions of packages. This patch adds the --remove option to remove the current package file and it's signature from disk before adding the new one to the database. Documentation is also updated. This is an optional flag and default behaviour (leaving ondisk files alone) is not changed. Signed-off-by: Phillip Smith <fukawi2@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2013-06-04Restrict pkgname from starting with a dot.Allan McRae1-1/+1
Adding this restriction means we can filter any FILENAME entry from starting with a "/" or a ".". Use the term "dot" as it is more computing relevant compared to "full stop" or "period" which vary depending on English locale. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

The Arch web site now redirects to https links for all subdomains, so it makes sense to use these links in the docs for pacman. Links were changed to use https for a couple other sites that support it as well, such as gnu.org and kernel.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>
