[pacman-dev] NEWS for 3.4.0 - very, very draft
by Allan McRae 15 May '10

15 May '10

A very draft NEWS item based on "git shortlog --no-merges master --not v3.3.0". May be a bit makepkg-centric, but numbers of patches for makepkg is quite high this time and many pacman patches are the "not-newsworthy" type... Anyway, cut/add entries and I can flash it out some more. pacman: -D --database option show required by in -Sii output Architecture --arch option / check package arch / $arch --print/--print-format only extract new DB entiries -Su foo util: deltacleanup rankmirror -> bash repo-add - can create "empty" repo when removing last package makepkg: new packaging variable - changelog Allow overriding pkgver, pkgrel, arch in split packages Can specify subsets of packages to build from a split package warn about references to build root in package deprecate repackaging without a package function can only use package() function strip options are configurable auto abort on any packaging error SRCPKGDEST --skipinteg syntax checking for backup and optdepends entries contrib: pactree - reverse tree

[pacman-dev] PKGBUILD man page
by Allan McRae 13 May '10

13 May '10

More as a reminder to me that I need to fix this: --begin quote-- Note If you are using Arch Linux and have a local copy of the Arch Build System (ABS) tree on your computer, or are using another distribution that provides a similar tree of build files, you can copy the provided PKGBUILD.proto file to a new package build directory and make customizations to suit your needs. An up to date prototype file can also be found in the source distribution of this package. --end quote-- The protoype is provided by the pacman package and not ABS.

All install and changelog files are copied to the source location when using --source. The check for install and changelog file presence is removed in create_srcpackage() as this is redundant to the checks performed in check_sanity(). Moved install and changelog handling in create_srcpackage() to after source array files, as this is more logical and readily allows for the following. A check is made when creating a source package that a symlink to an install file has not already been added. This can occur if the install file is used multiple times or if it is listed in the source array.

That clearly feels better after your patch, but I've noticed a funny problem and different behavior. I am sitting in my pacman git tree, and wanted to reinstall pacman : $ pacman -S pac<tab> after your patch : $ sudo pacman -S pac pacbuild pacman-contrib pacman-mirrorlist paco pacpan pacupdate before : $ sudo pacman -S pac pacbuild pacman/ pacman-contrib pacman-mirrorlist paco pacpan pacupdate So actually I couldnt complete pacman with your patch, it proposed me pacman- directly. The old behavior didnt propose me pacman either, but since it hesitated between pacman/ and pacman- , the completion stopped on pacman which is the good package name :) And this weird behavior is because I had a pacman dir in my PWD : $ ls -ld pacman/ drwxr-xr-x 2 xavier users 4096 Sep 23 2009 pacman/
