The mailing list requires subscription. So does the bug tracker, but that is more obvious. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2019-03-19doc: generalize description of the bash nature of PKGBUILD functionsEli Schwartz
Currently this is scoped to the build() function, which is simply wrong as it equally applies to any function. Simply moving the paragraphs up to the main manpage section makes this clear. Signed-off-by: Eli Schwartz <eschwartz@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2019-03-07makepkg: add new checksum algorithm via coreutils b2sumEli Schwartz
coreutils 8.26 in December 2016 added this new hashing method which is compatible with the existing md5sum and sha*sum tool usage, while using the blake2 hash algorithm. makepkg uses coreutils to provide source file integrity checks via ${integ}sum binaries and it makes sense to offer this as an additional option.

lzip is a lossless data compressor designed to replace gzip and bzip2 as the standard general-purpose compressed format. - add .lz (lzip) support to libmakepkg/util/compress.sh:compress_as - add COMPRESSLZ to makepkg.conf.in - document COMPRESSLZ - document PKGEXT with `.tar.lz` Signed-off-by: Chloe Kudryavtsev <toast@toastin.space> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2019-01-16meson: fix website targetEli Schwartz
A number of pages don't actually exist as html inside the source tree, and need to be generated even though they are manpages. This caused the website.tar.gz target to only work inside a dirty tree initially created by autotools.

2019-01-14update a bunch of links for https and to adapt to changing domainsEli Schwartz
projects.archlinux.org and mailman.archlinux.org are both migrated to new domains. Transifex supports https, so encourage its use by default. Take advantage of the opportunity when updating these links, to also delist some projects that are dead.

2019-01-14doc: add a couple missing manpages from the html indexEli Schwartz
The index embeds the names of all doc subpages, and these were never updated. Signed-off-by: Eli Schwartz <eschwartz@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2019-01-14doc: keep manpages and html pages in syncEli Schwartz
We forgot to add BUILDINFO to the list of html docs. Instead of always updating things in two places, just derive the one from the other. meson did not have this problem as it already derives both lists from one template.

2018-11-03pacman-key: just accept one file to verify, and enforce detached sigsEli Schwartz
Simply pass options on to gpg the same way gpg uses them -- no looping through and checking lots of signatures. This prevents a situation where the signature file to be verified is manipulated to contain an embedded signature which is valid, but not a detached signature for the file you are actually trying to verify. gpg does not offer an option to verify many files at once by naming each signature/file pair, and there's no reason for us to do so either, since it would be quite tiresome to do so. In the event that there is no signature/file pair specified to pacman-key itself, - preserve gpg's behavior, *if* the matching file does not exist, by - assuming the signature is an embedded signature - deviate from gpg's behavior, by - offering a security warning about which one is happening - when there is an embedded signature *and* a matching detached file, assume the latter is desired Signed-off-by: Eli Schwartz <eschwartz@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2018-11-02Add meson.build files to build with mesonDave Reisner
Provide both build systems in parallel for now, to ensure that we work out all the differences between the two. Some time from now, we'll give up on autotools. Meson tends to be faster and probably easier to read/maintain. On my machine, the full meson configure+build+install takes a little under half as long as a similar autotools-based invocation. Building with meson is a two step process. First, configure the build: meson build Then, compile the project: ninja -C build There's some mild differences in functionality between meson and autotools. specifically: 1) No singular update-po target. meson only generates individual update-po targets for each textdomain (of which we have 3). To make this easier, there's a build-aux/update-po script which finds all update-po targets and runs them. 2) No 'make dist' equivalent. Just run 'git archive' to generate a suitable tarball for distribution.
2018-10-23Dynamically generate Doxyfile from inputDave Reisner
This isn't super interesting for the autotools side, but it's necessary in order to make things sane for other build systems which we might introduce in the future.

2018-08-29doc: use more implicit rules to build manpagesDave Reisner
Use implicit dependency rules to translate asciidoc inputs to HTML and manpage outputs. We should only have to declare explicit dependencies for odd cases, e.g. the PKGBUILD documentation has an additional include file and isn't a 1:1 conversion. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2018-07-25doc: declare what type of comments we support in pacman.confEli Schwartz
Ini-style configuration formats are all over the place. So are we, for that matter, as we switched how we treated middle-of-line comments in commit 8a19c4a78251c5e34ecf508a65d943ca2dc833c7 -- namely, they're not comments anymore. This is surprising to users, who report bugs because it used to work, but what's more surprising is that the only "documentation" for the type of comments users can be expected to use, is by guessing from our example pacman.conf and maybe discovering unreliable easter eggs.

2018-05-14Ensure better text editor automatic filetype detectionEli Schwartz
Since we no longer use vim-specific modelines, use the .asciidoc file extension which is, well, reserved for asciidoc formatted files. This should presumably work everywhere without needing editor-specific workarounds and configuration. Also add a shebang to makepkg.conf to indicate it contains bash content.

2018-05-14Remove all modelines from the projectEli Schwartz
Many of these are pointless (e.g. there is no need to explicitly turn on spellchecking and language dictionaries for the manpages by default). The only useful modelines are the ones enforcing the project coding standards for indentation style (and "maybe" filetype/syntax, but everything except the asciidoc manpages and makepkg.conf is already autodetected), and indent style can be applied more easily with .editorconfig Signed-off-by: Eli Schwartz <eschwartz@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2018-05-12libmakepkg: Support file 5.33's application/x-pie-executableJan Alexander Steffens (heftig)
file 5.33 introduces a new MIME type "application/x-pie-executable", which is used for relocatable binaries. makepkg ignored these binaries and did not attempt to strip them. Handle the new MIME type like the old "application/x-sharedlib". Stripping the binaries with --strip-unneeded to keep relocation information should be the correct thing to do. file 5.33 also misidentifies actual libraries as PIE executables, so we didn't strip any shared libraries, either. We now work around this bug. Signed-off-by: Jan Alexander Steffens (heftig) <jan.steffens@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2018-03-14makepkg --packagelist: just list the built package files we will buildEli Schwartz
Currently this seems to be only theoretically useful. The most likely reason for wanting a packagelist is in order to script makepkg and derive the filenames for the packages we want to install or repo-add, but in the current implementation this requires a lot of additional post-processing which must be duplicated in every utility to wrap makepkg. - It is of minimal use to know what packages might get created on some other device utilizing a different CPU/OS architecture, so don't list them. - It is non-trivial to reimplement makepkg's logic for sourcing any of several makepkg.conf configuration files, then applying environment overrides in order to get the PKGDEST and PKGEXT, so include them directly in the returned filenames. - Output is delimited by newlines, for readability. For maximum parsing reliability, libmakepkg needs to learn how to lint the PKGDEST and PKGEXT variables to ensure they do not contain newlines, which will be submitted in a separate patch.
