2013-11-08makepkg: only remove static libraries if they have a shared versionAllan McRae
It is fairly common that packages contain static libraries with no shared counterpart. These should not be removed with !staticlibs. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2013-10-15Added list of mandatory options to PKGBUILD's man pageEric Toombs

2013-06-04Restrict pkgname from starting with a dot.Allan McRae
Adding this restriction means we can filter any FILENAME entry from starting with a "/" or a ".". Use the term "dot" as it is more computing relevant compared to "full stop" or "period" which vary depending on English locale. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2013-02-07doc: update PKGBUILD man pageAllan McRae
Rearrange the functions section of the PKGBUILD man package. Clarify that the package() function is a requirement and the rest are all optional. Note that $pkgdir should only be used in the package() function. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2012-11-27makepkg: add option to include debugging compiler flagsAllan McRae
Add a "debug" option that appends the compiler flags specified in the variables DEBUG_CFLAGS and DEBUG_CXXFLAGS in makepkg.conf to their counterpart buildflags. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2012-08-04makepkg: remove VCS package supportAllan McRae
The current VCS packaging support is really, really, really bad. It is best to strip it out completely before rewriting it. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2012-05-20makepkg: Add CPPFLAGS supportAllan McRae
Add CPPFLAGS support in addition to the current CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS. This keeps compiler flags split up in the same logical way done everywhere else. 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.

2011-08-16doc/PKGBUILD: fix Asciidoc formatting issuesDan McGee
We had this gem: ⇐ (less than or equal to) Due to not ensuring we did literal printing of things like this. Fix it and a few other problems noticed scanning through both the HTML and manpage generated files. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2011-07-28Unify modelines in Asciidoc filesDan McGee
This gets us close to using the same modeline in all files we run through Asciidoc, as well as adding the spell and spelllang declarations, just as we had in NEWS already. The choice of 'en_us' is mainly for consistency and because the body of work already uses these spellings. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-07-27makepkg: allow epoch to be overriddenAllan McRae
We can override pkgver and pkgrel so it is only logical to add epoch to that list Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-07-14doc/PKGBUILD: clarify scriptlet version argumentsDan McGee
It was a bit unclear that both pkgver and pkgrel were included in the passed version strings; clarify this fact in the manpage. Also include epoch in the mix now that it exists. Also make two other minor consistency touchups to code-print variables in text. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-06-22makepkg: Add UPX compression supportAllan McRae
This patch enables the automatic compression of executable binaries using UPX when the 'upx' options is specified in makepkg.conf or the PKGBUILD. Additional arguments can be passed to UPX by specifying the UPXFLAGS variable.

2011-01-21Remove epoch as an independent fieldDan McGee
Instead, go the same route we have always taken with version-release in libalpm and treat it all as one piece of information. Makepkg is the only script that knows about epoch as a distinct value; from there on out we will parse out the components as necessary. This makes the code a lot simpler as far as epoch handling goes. The downside here is that we are tossing some compatibility to the wind; packages using force will have to be rebuilt with an incremented epoch to keep their special status. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2010-12-29makepkg: add option to clear buildflagsAllan McRae
Add the "buildflags" option, which is useful in its negative form for disabling CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS when building a package. This is useful when determining of one of these flags is causing an issue with a package. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2010-12-29makepkg: Add check() function for running test suitesAllan McRae
A PKGBUILD can have an option check() function for running test suites between the build() and package() stages. This function is run by default but can be disabled globally in with "!check" in BUILDENV in makepkg.conf. This setting can be controlled on an individual package basis using makepkg's --check and --nocheck flags. Addition dependencies needed for running the test suite can be specified in the checkdepends array and are only checked when running the check() function.

2010-05-13doc: fix up description of where example PKGBUILD is locatedDan McGee
As Allan pointed out, this actually ships with pacman (at least with Arch) and not necessarily with ABS or any other package. Also fix the language dealing with the prototype install files. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2009-11-15makepkg: allow the use of only a package() functionCedric Staniewski
For some packages, generally the 'any' arch ones, a build step is not required and therefore can be skipped. In these cases, a package() function without a build() one is sufficient. As a side effect, this commit makes meta packages without any function at all in the PKGBUILD possible. Fixes FS#15147.

2009-10-20makepkg: allow overriding arch in split packagesAllan McRae
This allows building a mixture of binary and arch=any packages. Fixes FS#15955. The value of CARCH is no longer overridden to "any" in when arch=any is used and the assigning of the "any" arch is delayed to during the packaging stage. Adjustments were required to fix installing and checking for pre-built packages of varing arches. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2009-10-20makepkg: allow overriding pkgver and pkgrel in split packagesAllan McRae
Fixing a single package within a split package requires the overriding or pkgrel. In very rare (but existing) cases, it is useful to override pkgver. Partial fix for FS#15955. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
