2007-09-17Refine pacman manpage, clarify -S repo/package possibility, remove --testDan McGee
Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2007-09-16Merge branch 'asciidoc' into workingDan McGee
We're getting close to release, so might as well do this now so people can actually update some of our documentation.
2007-09-16Remove the DB consistency check from pacman and libalpm.Chantry Xavier
This reverts commit dfc85cb5f516ffbcff557522e9703c5c7d88b047 and b6f3fe6957d0206485eac98fb2120578b75d0058. This DB check is already in testdb (among others). Also testdb now uses the db path set at make time by default, so specifying the db path is optional. Signed-off-by: Chantry Xavier <shiningxc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2007-08-16Update manpage with new query options.Chantry Xavier
Dan: did a bit more updating and clarifying. Signed-off-by: Chantry Xavier <shiningxc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2007-07-16Remove unnecessary entries from .gitignore filesDan McGee
.gitignore works recursively, so we don't need Makefile and Makefile.in in all of the subdirectory .gitignore files. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2007-07-16Man page revision timeDan McGee
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>
2007-07-09Add asciidoc checking to configure.ac, make manpage generation optionalDan McGee
Include manpages when we ship a package tarball, and allow them to be generated by the end user if they want by using the --enable-asciidoc option to ./configure. This will allow us to maintain manpages in an easier to modify format while still keeping the make dependencies to a minimum. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2007-07-09Add a manpage for repo-addDan McGee
We still need some work here- we should have a repo-remove manpage link to this one, and we should not have to struggle with asciidoc formatting to get it to work like any other multiple-command manpage works. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2007-07-09Asciidoc updates- make it pretty, fix build, etc.Dan McGee
* Fix up the target so we rebuild the manpages when we edit the corresponding text file. * Add vim modelines to all of the asciidoc files ensureing the right syntax highlighting is used and we have expandtabs turned off. * Start making a few small changes to PKGBUILD.5 to make it pretty in both HTML and manpage format output. * Fix the manlink macro to include the manpage section in the link.

2007-03-27Move .cvsignore -> .gitignoreDan McGee
* Move all .cvsignore files to .gitignore for switch in VCS. In addition, delete ones that were unnecessary because they only contained Makefile and Makefile.am. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2007-03-27* Remove outdated ProxyServer option from pacman.conf.5.Dan McGee
2007-03-20* NEWS: add quick line about backup files.Dan McGee
* pacman.8: add documentation for -Se option.
2007-03-19* Updated Italian translationDan McGee
Giovanni Scafora <linuxmania@gmail.com> * Many minor issues mentioned by Scott Horowitz <stonecrest@gmail.com>. - extra 'done' text in --noprogressbar output - missing flags in the pacman.8 manpage - unclear text in --noconfirm help description
2007-03-11* Added Russian language translation. Thanks!Dan McGee
Вам Зачем <4rayven@gmail.com> * Updated manpage to document --cachedir and --dbpath options.
2007-03-01* Slight documentation update.Dan McGee
2007-02-28* Added another test as suggested by Nagy on the ML- a package both providesDan McGee
for and is a dependency of another package. (upgrade057) * Removed man2html stuff from doc/Makefile.am. * Patch: improved depends checking in _alpm_checkdeps Nagy Gabor <ngaba@petra.hos.u-szeged.hu> * Slight revisions to pmrule.py to allow for a PKG_PROVIDES test. * Very quick updates to the pactest README. * Added rules to some of the newer upgrade tests. Note: upgrade055 now fails due to requiredby entries not being written packages that are dependencies in a provides role.
2007-02-24* Added some undocumented options to the manpage.Dan McGee
2007-02-23Implementing feature request: <http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/4706>Dan McGee
* Added these three possible options (or !options, more likely), to the PKGBUILD possibilities: - ccache - distcc - makeflags * Removed the --noccache and -j flags from makepkg as their functionality is better used by adding the above options to a PKGBUILD- keep the functionality where it is needed. Testing would be appreciated, I didn't do much of that yet.
2007-02-23* Removed man2html stuff from configure. It is now available in the doc/Dan McGee
directory by running the target man2html, e.g. 'make man2html'. * Slightly fixed up the bottom of the manpages.
2007-02-22Big commit here, I'll try to cover all the bases.Dan McGee
* Updated all of the language files, as the POT file was updated. NOTE FOR TRANSLATORS, try to base your next contribution off of these, notice how some msgids and messages have been wrapped to the next line- it makes it easier to read anyway. * More Makefile.am/configure.ac updates. 'make dist' and 'make distclean' now work properly, with only one caveat- the automatic testing in distclean doesn't do so hot as it is compiled with a default configure, which includes the fakeroot-proof code (which does not cooperate with pactest). * Added a Makefile.am for the pactest directory.
2007-02-22* A lot of Makefile.am updates to try to get 'make dist' and 'make distcheck'Dan McGee
to work as expected.
2007-02-14* Updated makepkg.8 manpage to reflect shift of -S to --usesudo.Dan McGee
2007-02-12* Unified description of arch variable. Recommend using single quotes inDan McGee

2007-02-07Greatly simplify the way our non-existant translated manpages were beingDan McGee
