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>

2011-06-01doc: add a few more escapes and fix usage of {}Dan McGee
These addditional attributes come from the git asciidoc.conf file. Also, fix a place where we used {treename} without escaping the braces, causing the generated manpage to be missing text. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2011-02-02makepkg: make SRCPKGDEST default to $startdirCedric Staniewski
The current behaviour, which is placing source packages in PKGDEST if SRCPKGDEST is not set, is inconsistent with {SRC,PKG}DEST handling and there is no real advantage in doing so. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2011-01-22doc: add a vercmp manpageDan McGee
This includes info on version comparison that is very similar to the stuff in the pacman manpage, but also a few vercmp examples, the return values, and other fun stuff. Also update the version comparison stuff in the pacman manpage. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-01-21Remove epoch as an independent fieldDan McGee
Instead, go the same route we have always taken with version-release in libalpm and treat it all as one piece of information. Makepkg is the only script that knows about epoch as a distinct value; from there on out we will parse out the components as necessary. This makes the code a lot simpler as far as epoch handling goes. The downside here is that we are tossing some compatibility to the wind; packages using force will have to be rebuilt with an incremented epoch to keep their special status.

2010-12-29makepkg: add option to clear buildflagsAllan McRae
Add the "buildflags" option, which is useful in its negative form for disabling CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS when building a package. This is useful when determining of one of these flags is causing an issue with a package. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2010-12-29makepkg: Add check() function for running test suitesAllan McRae
A PKGBUILD can have an option check() function for running test suites between the build() and package() stages. This function is run by default but can be disabled globally in with "!check" in BUILDENV in makepkg.conf. This setting can be controlled on an individual package basis using makepkg's --check and --nocheck flags. Addition dependencies needed for running the test suite can be specified in the checkdepends array and are only checked when running the check() function.

2010-12-12alpm/remove.c : respect --dbonly during remove-upgradeXavier Chantry
When a -Sk or -Uk operation induced a removal of an existing local package, --dbonly was not in effect and the files were all removed. Fixing this behavior was already marked as TODO in database012 pactest ------------ TODO: I honestly think the above should NOT delete the original les, it hould upgrade the DB entry without touching anything on the file stem. E.g. this test should be the same as: pacman -R --dbonly dummy && pacman -U --dbonly dummy.pkg.tar.gz ------------ Signed-off-by: Xavier Chantry <chantry.xavier@gmail.com> [Dan: small coding style touchup] Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2010-12-12CLI args: update --help and manpageXavier Chantry
The three parts (help, manpage and code) are now organized in the same way and much easier to compare : - specific options - install/upgrade options for -S and -U - transaction options for -S -R and -U - global options After this re-organization, it was easy to update and sync the three components together. Duplication is also avoided. Signed-off-by: Xavier Chantry <chantry.xavier@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2010-10-11CLI args: stricter/better parsingJakob Gruber
In the following, the letters SRUDQ refer to the corresponding pacman operations. Most of the work in this commit is about removing as many options as possible from the global section and moving them to where they actually belong. Additionally, --ignore{,group} are added to U and --dbonly is added to S. --dbonly added to S --asdeps moved to S/U/D --asexplicit moved to S/U/D --print-format moved to S/U/R --noprogressbar moved to S/U/R --noscriptlet moved to S/U/R --ignorepkg added to U --ignoregrp added to U -d moved to S/U/R (--nodeps) and Q (--deps) -p moved to S/U/R (--print) and Q (--file) -f moved to S/U Signed-off-by: Xavier Chantry <chantry.xavier@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
