2012-05-20pacman: support group selection delimited by commasDave Reisner
We support multiple arguments being comma separated elsewhere, so this seems like a natural extension to support in our multiparse selection code. Signed-off-by: Dave Reisner <dreisner@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2012-05-18docs: remove 'in the wild' sectionDan McGee

2012-05-04doc: remove --recursive documentation for non-remove operationsDan McGee
This documentation was added in commit 857357f9 so was not caught in the removal of this option in commit 85712814. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2012-04-24Split check steps in Makefile into multiple targetsDan McGee
This allows a `make -j4 check` invocation to actually run in parallel, even though 95% of our test suite time is currently dominated by pactest. It also allows running something like `make test-vercmp`. Also, add some targets to the .PHONY list that belong in it. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2012-04-24pacman-key: allow verification of multiple sig filesDave Reisner
Loop through arguments passed to verify_sig and treat each as a signature to be verified against a source file. Output each file as its checked to avoid ambiguity. Signed-off-by: Dave Reisner <dreisner@archlinux.org>
2012-04-24pacman-key: adopt parseopts for option parsingDave Reisner
This requires an ugly amount of reworking of how pacman-key handles options. The change simply to avoid passing keys, files, and directories as arguments to options, but to leave them as arguments to the overall program. This is reasonable since pacman-key limits the user to essentially one operation per invocation (like pacman). Since we now pass around the positional parameters to the various operations, we can add some better sanity checking. Each operation is responsible for testing input and making sure it can operate properly, otherwise it throws an error and exits. The doc is updated to reflect this, and uses similar verbiage as pacman, describing the non-option arguments now passed to pacman-key as targets. Similar to the doc, --help is reorganized to separate operations and options and remove argument tokens from operations. Signed-off-by: Dave Reisner <dreisner@archlinux.org>
2012-04-24makepkg: allow specifying --pkg multiple timesDave Reisner
Make this option additive, so that the following two operations are equivalent: makepkg --pkg foo --pkg bar makepkg --pkg foo,bar

2012-04-20pkgdelta: implement requirments for delta generationFlorian Pritz
Big deltas or deltas for very small packages are not needed so we should check that and not generate any. Signed-off-by: Florian Pritz <bluewind@xinu.at> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2012-04-12Remove SyncFirst optionDan McGee
This has outlived its usefulness and causes more problems than it solves. It has historically only ever been used to install pacman first. That should not be needed given we provide the vercmp utility (which has no library dependencies) and so calling pacman in install scripts is a sign of poor packaging.

Adds the ability to override the commands used to compressing compiled and source packages.

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>

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>

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.
