2017-12-07makepkg: Add a config option to specify the location of debug sourcesEli Schwartz
In commit 8b0d59b83a60eb504567590346119fe4cd891cad support was added for storing the source files of binaries in debug packages. Allow the user to specify where those source files should be stored via makepkg.conf Signed-off-by: Eli Schwartz <eschwartz@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2017-12-07makepkg.conf: correct the documentation on the default optionsEli Schwartz
The documentation for OPTIONS and BUILDENV listed some incorrect defaults for undefined options. The defaults are implementation-defined in the source code for makepkg itself (e.g. it depends whether we use `check_option "opt" "y"` or `check_option "opt" "n"`) but were erroneously declared to be "whatever we *define* in the default makepkg.conf". Fixes FS#55754 Signed-off-by: Eli Schwartz <eschwartz@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2017-12-07makepkg: implement error codesIvy Foster
For your convenience, makepkg now has 16 distinct ways to fail. Also closes FS#54204. Signed-off-by: Ivy Foster <iff@escondida.tk> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2017-09-13makepkg: respect $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to activate reproducible buildsEli Schwartz
If SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set, `touch` all source files between the (optional) prepare() and build() functions to unify the modification times. This works around build systems and compilers that embed the file modification times into the file contents of release artifacts.

2017-04-16add --sysroot optionAndrew Gregory
--root is not sufficient to properly operate on a mounted guest system. Using --root still uses the host system's configuration and there is no way to correctly use the guest configuration without manually modifying any Include directives. --sysroot provides an easier way to operate on a guest system by chrooting immediately after option parsing before configuration parsing or performing any operations. It is currently limited to the root user, but that's enough for restoring a guest system to a working state, which is the primary intended use case.

2017-04-12deprecate --force in favor of --overwriteAndrew Gregory
--force is widely misunderstood and the same effect can now be achieved with --overwrite, which is better named and can be used more safely. Signed-off-by: Andrew Gregory <andrew.gregory.8@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2017-04-12add --overwrite option to ignore file conflictsAndrew Gregory
Allows for safer, more fine-grained control for overwriting files than --force's all-or-nothing approach. Implements FS#31549. Signed-off-by: Andrew Gregory <andrew.gregory.8@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2017-01-13Introduce a 'disable-download-timeout' optionChristian Hesse

2016-02-23makepkg: do not run prepare() with --noextractEvangelos Foutras
This is partial revert of 8454daa7feef (makepkg: run pkgver() and prepare() with --noextract). Reasoning for the reversion (copied from FS#43498): Running prepare() when --noextract is used no longer allows running 'makepkg -o && makepkg -e' with any PKGBUILD that applies patches in prepare(). [1] Sure there's --noprepare which restores the old behavior, but that's a lot of extra typing for what I believe is a much more common use of --noextract. For OP's use case of doing git bisects, you can specify the commit in the source array and thus skip --noextract since makepkg will checkout the correct commit each time. [1] I often extract the sources using 'makepkg -o', manually edit some source files, and then use 'makepkg -e' to package it (while possibly repeating the edit/package steps).

2015-06-20makepkg: Add flag for printing SRCINFO to stdoutJohannes Löthberg
This commit adds a makepkg option to generate and print the SRCINFO file for a PKGBUILD, required by the new AUR, to stdout. AUR 4.0 will use Git instead of source tarballs for uploading packages, so making makepkg capable of printing the SRCINFO would simplify package management, instead of having to extract it from a source tarball. It is also useful for scripting other things, so that instead of having to parse PKGBUILDs, one can make makepkg generate the SRCINFO and then you can parse that instead, which is much simpler and less error-prone.
