2009-11-15makepkg: allow the use of only a package() functionCedric Staniewski
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 McRae
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 McRae
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 Staniewski
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 McGee
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 Gabor
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 Gabor
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.

2009-07-22New feature: files verificationDan McGee
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.

1) The changes to sync.c look big but there are mostly caused by the indentation. Fix a bug where download_size == 0 because the packages and deltas are already in the cache, but we still need to build the deltas list and apply the deltas to create the final package. 2) Fix the gzip / md5sum issue by switching to xdelta3, disabling external recompression and using gzip -n in pacman, and disable bsdtar compression and using gzip -n in makepkg.
