2021-04-22Add support for multiple 'Architecture' valuesDan McGee
This allows architecture to be multivalued. On x86-64 machines, this could be something like: Architecture = x86-64-v3 x86-64 We use the first specified Architecture value in mirrorlist $arch variable replacement, as this is backwards-compatible and sane.

2021-04-07makepkg: add PACMAN_AUTH configurable setting for sudo elevationEli Schwartz
If specified, this will be used no matter what. If not, then we check if sudo exists and use that, or else fall back on su. Implements FS#32621 Signed-off-by: Eli Schwartz <eschwartz@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2021-03-03Add link time optimization support to makepkgAllan McRae
Add the 'lto' option to enable building with link time optimization by adding '-flto' to both CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS. The 'lto' option can be specificed both in the PKGBUILD or by setting the default in makepkg.conf. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

The macro hasn't been used since 2007 with commit 7f7da2b5fc01f46d28236384540c7ecfdac16a63. Although it was still copied over into alpm_list.c an year or so later with commit ca1a1871 ("More cleanup to alpm_list") Just remove all instances of it.

2020-12-29doc: make doxygen build from any directoryEli Schwartz
In the autotools build, it only built in-tree, from cwd = doc/ and resolving doc/../lib/libalpm In the meson build, this accidentally worked if cwd = pacman/builddir/ and resolved to builddir/../lib/libalpm/ But... this should always have been configured with the actual path to the inputs. So, we will now proceed to do so. Fixes building man3 if your out of tree builddir doesn't happen to be a direct subdirectory of the source root.

2020-12-09Implement TotalDownload functionalityAnatol Pomozov
With the recent 'multibar' interface changes TotalDownload has been disabled. Now we have a new UI and we need to find another way to display this information. When 'TotalDownload' config option is enabled we are going to have an extra progress bar at the bottom of the screen that shows how much of the entire download has been completed.

2020-05-09doc: remove vim modelines from BUILDINFO(5)Eli Schwartz
We (thought we) removed all modelines from the project in commit 860e4c4943ad062bd0eff99f28e7d64804b3c08e, but apparently this one sneaked in by virtue of this manpage being added to the project after the "remove all the modelines" patch was submitted, but before it was applied. I must have failed to update the patch to remove it from this file also. Signed-off-by: Eli Schwartz <eschwartz@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2020-01-28makepkg: add CRC checksums and set these to be the defaultAllan McRae
Checksums arrays should be filled with values provided by upstream. We currently have md5 set as an unsecure default, and are constantly asked to change it to sha2. However, just changing the default to a stronger checksum gives the user the impression that "makepkg -g" checksums are perfect. Instead, change the default checksum to a CRC, to make it clear that any checksum generated purely by "makepkg -g" is not ideal. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2020-01-28Note that checksums from "makepkg -g" are not idealAllan McRae
Generating checksums with "makepkg -g" only determines that the user of a PKGBUILD has the same file as the packager (assuming no collision). This means an upstream source could be maliciously changed and passed on as valid by a PKGBUILD. To avoid this, it is essential that any checksums used in a PKGBUILD are as provided by upstream.

2020-01-07doc: clarify the format of a PKGBUILD source fragmentEli Schwartz
Currently, it could be misread to say that a fragment is literally 'commit', rather than 'commit=somehash'. Anecdotally this does not seem to be obvious to everyone, and rewording it certainly doesn't hurt.

2019-11-26makepkg: add the $startdir to package .BUILDINFOEli Schwartz
This value is needed for reproducible builds. The reason is because $BUILDDIR changes its behavior depending on whether it is the same as $startdir, and the result is that we cannot know whether $srcdir (the path that is potentially embedded into the final package) is actually "$BUILDDIR/src" or "$BUILDDIR/$pkgbase/src".

2019-10-30autotools: be more templated when getting list of doc dist filesEli Schwartz
Distribute asciidoc sources for all manpages instead of remembering to add files to both variables. Fixes regression in 377d47142f7aaa01ca782e6587f2d4caf663865b which broke building the website from a dist tarball: make: *** No rule to make target 'pacman-conf.8.html', needed by 'html'. Stop. (Technically this regression is already fixed by commit 942b909829d529409216939b36af11e8480726f5, but this is just going to keep happening, I suspect, so we should fix the root cause.)

The rust language supports $RUSTFLAGS to be used automatically in all rustc invocations.

2019-10-04autotools: distribute meson filesEli Schwartz
If we use make dist to create the official, signed release tarballs, those will not have meson build files by default since autotools doesn't know what they are. Also distribute all src/common/ files. We never strictly needed any of them to be distributed with autotools, because the dist tarball dereferences the symlinks (???), but only some of them were being distributed, and meson needs them to be in the right location as we only build libcommon from the primary files.

2019-06-06hooks: rename type File to PathAndrew Gregory
Make it clearer that the targets are matched against both directories and regular files and free up File to potentially refer specifically to regular files in the future. File is retained as a deprecated alias for Path for the time being to avoid breaking existing hooks and will be removed in a future release. See FS#53136.

2019-06-06pacman: rework the UI of -Fmorganamilo
Reworks the UI of -F according to FS#47949 In short -F replaces both -Fs and -Fo. Searching for an exact path (target contains "/"), causes the output to switch to the old -Fo output. Otherwise the old -Fs output is used. Also strip the leading "/" from targets like how -Qo does. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2019-05-28doc: update SRCEXT/PKGEXT to reduce needlessly scary warningsEli Schwartz
Currently this tells people that the settings should not be touched, but we should just rely on the description of what it should be set to, and leave it up to the user. With the previous patch, makepkg aborts if an invalid value is set, greatly reducing the danger of it being badly configured. Also make this clearer by indicating when it would be useful to change the settings -- i.e. disable compression -- and ensure their described defaults are based on the ones established during ./configure or meson setup.

2019-03-19doc: generalize description of the bash nature of PKGBUILD functionsEli Schwartz

coreutils 8.26 in December 2016 added this new hashing method which is compatible with the existing md5sum and sha*sum tool usage, while using the blake2 hash algorithm. makepkg uses coreutils to provide source file integrity checks via ${integ}sum binaries and it makes sense to offer this as an additional option.
