2012-03-08makepkg: allow specifying compression optionsChristian Hesse
Adds the ability to override the commands used to compressing compiled and source packages. This is useful for those wanting to use alternative implementations of the compression tools or non-default compression options.

2012-03-05pacman-key: Remove useless signature verification in --populate commandPierre Schmitz
Verifing the keyring at this point is useless as a malicious package is already installed and as such has several options to bypass this check anyway. Signed-off-by: Pierre Schmitz <pierre@archlinux.de> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2012-02-15Revert "Add -S --recursive operation"Dan McGee
This reverts commit f3fa77bcf1d792971c314f8c0de255866e89f3f3 along with making other necessary changes to fully back this (mis)feature out until we can do it correctly. The quick summary here is this was not implemented correctly; provides are not fully taken into account in this logic, and making that happen exposes a lot of other flaws in this code that are covered up later on in the dependency resolving process by several other pieces of convoluted and conditional logic. Tests have been adjusted accordingly. Some test EXISTS conditions have been removed as we already know the package is installed locally, and we also are checking the VERSION condition anyway. With these two related revert commits, we do have some changes in test pass/fail results: * upgrade078.py: does not pass, this is due to --recursive getting removed for -U/-S operations after this commit. * sync302.py: the version checks have been disabled, so this test continues to pass but has been scaled back in scope. * sync303.py: now passes, was failing before. * sync304.py: still failing, was failing before. * sync305.py: now passes, was failing before. * sync306.py: still passes, was passing before.

2012-01-18Allow UseDelta option to specify a delta ratioDan McGee
Rework the frontend and backend to allow passing a ratio value in for UseDelta rather than having a hardcoded #define-d 0.7 value always used. This is useful for those with fast connections, who would likely benefit from tuning this ratio to lower values; it is also useful for general testing purposes. The libalpm API changes for this, but we do support the old config file format with a no-value 'UseDelta' option; in this case we simply use the old default of 0.7. We clamp the ratio values to a sane range between 0.0 and 2.0, allowing ratios above 1.0 for testing purposes. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2012-01-18Don't remove unknown files in cache cleaning codeDan McGee
This removes the hack I added to skip '*.sig' files earlier since there are other files that also fall into the same bucket- source packages from `makepkg --source`, delta files, etc. Rather than prompting for each and every one, simply skip them. Doing '-Scc' rather than '-Sc' will delete these files if that is really what you want to do. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

Conflicts: doc/Makefile.am
2012-01-02Prevent rebuild of man pages when using release tarballsAllan McRae
Commit 43cad9c8 made the building of all docs depend on the Makefile. However, the Makefile is generated after running ./configure so is always newer than any pregenerated docs. This means that people building from released pacman tarballs are forced to rebuild the docs (and thus have asciidoc installed). That defeats the purpose of prebuilding the documentation. Have the documentatin depends on Makefile.am instead as this is probably what was intended. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-12-28makepkg: Use SKIP in checksum to skip integrity checkAllan McRae
Using the value of "SKIP" in the checksum array will cause that integrity check to be skipped. This makes building packages that rely on user configurable sources less painful.

2011-12-08Use automake verbose helpers in custom make rulesDan McGee
This converts our script generation to use the built-in AM_V_GEN macro, which honors the V= setting passed to make and allows one to see the full command if they truly desire. The AM_V_at macro is also used in place of an explicit @ so verbose-mode compiles show all commands being run. We can also use these two macros in doc generation to quiet it down to the level we expect. Other minor changes: * a pointless test call is removed in test/pacman/tests/ * sed is used instead of dos2unix as we depend on it anyway * consecutive chmod calls are reduced to a single call (e.g., '+x,a-x') Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

This is not something that should be used on a frequent basis, and giving it a short option encourages use without making the drawbacks obvious. For the 1% of situations that require it, the 5 extra keystrokes are a fair price to pay. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2011-10-05pacman-key: treat foo-trusted as an ownertrust export fileDan McGee
This allows it to serve double-duty. In order to allow users to base verification decisions off of both a valid signature and a trusted signature, we need to assign some level of owner trust to the keys we designate as trusted on import. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-10-05pacman-key: refine and clarify import/import-trustdb behaviorDan McGee
* --import now only imports keys from pubkey.gpg and does not import owner trust; if you want to have both simply run the operations in sequence. * --import-trustdb has been simplified; it will overwrite existing values in the trust database as before, but there is no need to export it first as those values are safe if left untouched. * Fix the manpage referring to a non-existent option.

2011-09-22pacman-key: add an additional plain text 'foo-trusted' fileDan McGee
This is similar to the 'foo-revoked' file we had. This will be used to inform the user what keys in the shipped keyring need to be explicitly trusted by the user. A distro such as Arch will likely have 3-4 master keys listed in this trusted file, but an additional 25 developer keys present in the keyring that the user shouldn't have to directly sign. We use this list to prompt the user to sign the keys locally. If the key is already signed locally gpg will print a bit of junk but will continue without pestering the user. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-09-22pacman-key: remove holdkeys functionalityDan McGee
We're putting the cart ahead of the horse a bit here. Given that our keyring is not one where everything is implicitly trusted (ala gpgv), keeping or deleting a key has no bearing on its trusted status, only whether we can actually verify things signed by said key. If we need to address this down the road, we can find a solution that works for the problem at hand rather than trying to solve it now before signing is even widespread.

2011-08-29pacman-key: rework and document holding keys in keyringAllan McRae

2011-08-29pacman-key: rework importing distro/repo provided keyringsAllan McRae
The current --reload option, apart from being non-clear in its naming, is very limited in that only one keyring can be provided. A distribution may want to provide multiple keyrings for various subsets of its organisation or custom repo providers may also want to provide a keyring. This patch adds a --populate option that reads keyrings from (by default) /usr/share/pacman/keyrings. A keyring is named foo.gpg, with optional foo-revoked file providing a list of revoked key ids. These files are required to be signed (detached) by a key trusted by pacman-key, in practice probably by the key that signed the package providing these files. The --populate flag either updates the pacman keyring using all keyrings in the directory or individual keyrings can be specified. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2011-08-23vercmp: ensure 2.0a and 2.0.a do not compare equalDan McGee
We had this interesting set of facts conundrum, according to vercmp return values: 2.0a < 2.0 2.0 < 2.0.a 2.0a == 2.0.a This introduces a code change that ensures '2.0a < 2.0.a' as would be expected by the first two comparisons. Unfortunately this stays us a bit further from upstream RPM code, but those are the breaks (in RPM, the versions involving 'a' do in fact compare the same, but they are both greater than the bare '2.0').
