This uses the + guest configuration instead of the host configuration, which is + what most people erroneously thought --root would do + - introduce a 'disable-download-timeout' option + - remove contrib - this is now maintained in a separate project + - report the owner of an existing file, if any, when erroring out + on a file conflict + - resolve cyclic dependencies when calculating unneeded dependency + trees (FS#41031) + - report the needed command to download missing databases for the + -F and -S actions + - don't error if -Qo cannot find the file it is querying on disk + (FS#55856) + - support new-style OpenPGP format packets lengths + - support EDDSA from gpgme 1.7.0 + - fix continuously trying to open invalid databases and reporting + excessively excessive redundant error messages excessively + - fix the download callback erroneously reporting itself too many + times with --noprogressbar, or reporting inaccurate times for + small files (FS#56408, FS#56468) + - fix erroneous negative speed in download progressbar (FS#43434) + - parse stdin as newline-separated instead of whitespace-separated + (FS#52992) + - when printing urls in the package cache, print the file url + instead (FS#15868) + - add color to group selection dialogs and -{F,Q}o + - the -Q option now respects provides (FS#20650) + - remove notification of system upgrade when only printing URLs + - print replacements when using -Sup (FS#35812) + - fix -Qk and -r checking for the root prefix twice (FS#48563) + - Do not recognize # as a comment unless it is at the beginning of + a line. This allows using it as a value in ini files (FS#48702) + - ignore comments when examining INSTALL files (FS#51916) + - match multi-byte user input properly (FS#47992) + - abort transactions if even one database fails to sync (FS#47599) + - do not resolve uid/gid to names when extracting files with -r + - --dbonly now properly extracts metadata files (FS#52052) + - remove support for internal checksumming implementations, and + require at least one of openssl or nettle to exist + - consider provides to satisfy optdepends when warning for removal + or logging new optdepends during a transaction, as was already + the case for -Qi + - -Dk now reports if it is successful (FS#50087) + - consider version for optdepends (FS#44957) + - remove vim modelines in favor of EditorConfig + - implement pacman-conf, a new tool to safely parse pacman.conf, + and use it in internal scripts + - bash completion now completes -Qn + - various small documentation updates + - makepkg: + - Reproducible build support. makepkg now respects environment + SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH when creating package metadata, and unifies + source file timestamps to match + - add more info to .BUILDINFO to aid in reproducing the build + environment of a package + - it is now possible to check the signature of VCS sources + (currently only git is supported) + - use informative exit codes when exiting with errors (FS#54204) + - lint_pkgbuild has vastly improved linting of pkgname and + variables that can contain pkgname/pkgver (FS#57833) + - implement linting for makepkg.conf + - fix using libmakepkg in external scripts without extglob + - fix handling of configurable directories e.g. PKGDEST to align + with their documented behavior, and consistently check that + they can be used (FS#43537) + - parseopts, srcinfo, and integrity are now part of libmakepkg + - consistently use coreutils for checksumming instead of openssl + (which may be replaced by nettle in pacman) + - lint build_references now prints affected filenames (FS#31558) + - lint_package can now abort on fatal packaging errors + - lint_package now checks for filenames with newline characters + - lint_package now checks for root-level /.dotfiles + - debug packages are now per pkgbase, not per pkgname + - debug packages now contain source files to allow the debugger + to step through code + - remove optipng and upx support - these can now be plugged into + libmakepkg + - fix emptydirs support with newer findutils (FS#48515) + - ignore architecture for --printsrcinfo + - makepkg --printsrcinfo now correctly lists depends_$CARCH + instead of merging this into depends + - fix bug in is_array that broke packages with arch-dependent + sources only (FS#48340) + - move package signing outside of fakeroot which is incompatible + with recent gnupg versions (FS#49946) + - makepkg --clean now cleans up logfiles (FS#51039) + - when using $PKGDEST, do not symlink build artifacts into + current directory + - --packagelist now lists the built filenames, rather than all + possible basenames without extensions + - fix --geninteg not properly ignoring renamed signature files + - use localized date strings + - ensure sane umask is set both before and after installing deps + - adapt to file(1) changes in order to continue to strip PIE + executables + - repo-add: + - don't recreate the database when only verifying signature + (FS#48085) + - fix error when repo directory path contains spaces (FS#50285) + - pacman-key: + - reject armored signatures + - don't set a default keyserver, deferring to gpg's sane default + - disable scdaemon as we don't use it and it breaks --lsign when + a smartcard is plugged into the machine + - vercmp: + - remove duplicate, undocumented --usage option + - fail when the wrong number of arguments are used (FS#49093) 5.0.1 - fix alignment issues with wide character locales (FS#47980) - fix removal of .pacnew files (FS#47993) - fix triggering of Install hooks (FS#47996) -- 2.17.0
