2011-07-14doc/PKGBUILD: clarify scriptlet version argumentsDan McGee
It was a bit unclear that both pkgver and pkgrel were included in the passed version strings; clarify this fact in the manpage. Also include epoch in the mix now that it exists. Also make two other minor consistency touchups to code-print variables in text. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-07-14Add 'compress' compression format as an available optionDan McGee
This adds the '.tar.Z' option to both repo-add and makepkg for no other reason than "why not", and because bsdtar supports it natively with the '-Z' flag. Also update the documentation accordingly. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2011-06-24makepkg: remove the cleancache optionAllan McRae
This is a fairly useless feature given all it does is an "rm" on a directory. It is also unlikely that you would want to remove the entire SRCDEST anyway, but rather just the old files. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-06-24Document group and providers selectionAllan McRae
The format required for selection of packages within the group selection dialog is not entirely obvious, so provide some documentation. Fixes FS#24134. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2011-06-22makepkg: allow specifying alternative build directoryAllan McRae
Add a BUILDDIR variable (which can be overridden in the environment) to specify an alternative location for building the package. This is useful for people who want to build on a different filesystem for improved performance (e.g. tmpfs).

2011-06-22makepkg: Add UPX compression supportAllan McRae
This patch enables the automatic compression of executable binaries using UPX when the 'upx' options is specified in makepkg.conf or the PKGBUILD. Additional arguments can be passed to UPX by specifying the UPXFLAGS variable.

2011-06-01doc: fix attribute substitution in monospaced textDan McGee
When I switched all paths to use `` formatting, I didn't realize substitution didn't work in these quote marks. Use ++ instead to ensure attributes are substituted where appropriate. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

Dan: The commit message originally referenced "VerbosePkgLists", but I'm going to change the name of the option. In addition, this patch serves a purpose being standalone- we should really do things like this with -S --print and hopefully -Q --print in the future.

2011-03-23Let pacman specify GnuPG's home directory.Chris Brannon
GnuPG looks for configuration files and keyrings in its home directory. For a user, that is typically ~/.gnupg. This patch causes pacman to use /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/ as the default GnuPG home. One may override the default using --gpgdir on the command-line or GPGDir in pacman's configuration file.

2011-03-23repo-add: allow signing of the package databaseDan McGee
In order to be fully secure, we can't only sign packages. We also need to sign our repository metadata to prevent database falsification, dependency injection, etc. Add an '-s/--sign' option that allows this functionality, and will generate a .sig file side-by-side with the package database. While at it, fix the issue where a signature file would never be found because of 'cd' madness (this needs fixing in another commit). Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-03-22Add GPG signature support to makepkgGeoffroy Carrier
