2008-01-13doc: update documentation for --recursive and --cascadeChantry Xavier
This addresses some of the issues in FS#9192. Attempt to clarify the -Rc and -Rs options in the man page. Signed-off-by: Chantry Xavier <shiningxc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2008-01-10Rename -t --orphans to -t --unrequired (FS#9144).Chantry Xavier
It turns out the orphan name was misleading. Real orphans are packages installed as dependency no longer required by any others (-Qtd). The -t option only shows package not required by any others, so --unrequired describes it better. Signed-off-by: Chantry Xavier <shiningxc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2008-01-08Documentation updatesNathan Jones
Document the following: * -R can take a group * -S can take a group and provision I also split up the -S description into multiple paragraphs because it was getting too large.

2007-12-29doc: rename manlink macro to linkmanDan McGee
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>

2007-12-02Add new --needed option for -S.Chantry Xavier
During a pacman operation such as a group install, pacman can ask several questions such as "local version is up to date. Upgrade anyway?". They are usually all answered either by yes or by no: * yes when you want to reinstall all the targets. * no when you only want to install the missing ones (either because you are installing a group, or because you are copying a pacman -S line from wiki or whatever). So instead of asking this question for each target, it is now now configured with a flag. Yes will be the default -S behavior, No will be achieved with the --needed flag.

This operation made sense in the days before sync DBs existed, but it no longer has the same usefulness it once did.

2007-11-13Make it easier to ignore multiple packages.Nathan Jones
This makes --ignore and --ignoregroup able to accept multiple packages/groups by separating each with a comma. For instance: pacman -Su --ignore kernel26,udev,glibc This was requested in the comments of FS#8054. Signed-off-by: Nathan Jones <nathanj@insightbb.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

Spruce up the asciidoc formatting, fix a few issues that we had. Formatting now looks pretty good in both the manpage output and the XHTML output. Also added some options that we have changed since 3.0, and a few wording updates, etc. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
