VERSION DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
2.9.5 - bugfix: missing files after re-ordering packages wrt
|
||
|
|
deps with --upgrade
|
||
|
|
- added "Repository" line to -Si output
|
||
|
|
- patch from Tommi Rantala to fix trim() behaviour with
|
||
|
|
empty or whitespace-only strings
|
||
|
|
- fixed removal order when using -Rc or -Rs
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
2.9.3 - fixed a couple manpage typos
|
||
|
|
- added --ignore to -S operations, works just like IgnorePkg
|
||
|
|
- respect IgnorePkg list when pulling in dependencies
|
||
|
|
- numerous memleak fixes
|
||
|
|
- some code changes to improve customizability/branding
|
||
|
|
- Makefile fix for nonstandard lib search paths (Kevin Piche)
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
2.9.2 - bugfix for 2.9.1
|
||
|
|
2.9.1 - --refresh now only downloads fresh packages lists if they've
|
||
|
|
been updated (currently only works with FTP)
|
||
|
|
2.9 - Improved -Rs functionality -- pacman now tracks why a package
|
||
|
|
is installed: explicitly, or as a dependency for another
|
||
|
|
package. -Rs will only remove dependencies that were not
|
||
|
|
explicitly installed.
|
||
|
|
- Added compressed package size to sync DBs -- shows the total
|
||
|
|
size of packages before downloading
|
||
|
|
- Patch from Tommi Rantala:
|
||
|
|
- Allow --info and --list together in queries
|
||
|
|
- Patch from Kevin Piche:
|
||
|
|
- Use list_add_sorted() with -Sg
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
- Better manpage compression
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
2.8.4 - Added updatesync script from Jason Chu
|
||
|
|
- Changed the pacman binary to be dynamically linked
|
||
|
|
- Included a pacman.static binary as well
|
||
|
|
- Added fakeroot checks when seeing if we're root
|
||
|
|
- Fixed makepkg to use 'tail -n 1' instead of 'tail -1'
|
||
|
|
- Added patch from Kevin Piche:
|
||
|
|
- Cleanup db_loadpkgs(), add list_add_sorted()
|
||
|
|
- Fixed a memory leak in db_find_conflicts()
|
||
|
|
2.8.3 - Fixed a little makepkg bug with bash 3.0
|
||
|
|
- Fixed resolvedeps to always prefer literals over provisios
|
||
|
|
- Added --config option to specify an alternate config file
|
||
|
|
- Added "Include" directive to include repositories from
|
||
|
|
config files (inspired by Michael Baehr's patch)
|
||
|
|
- Added patch from Jason Chu:
|
||
|
|
- Even smarter file-conflict checking
|
||
|
|
2.8.2 - Fixed a segfault bug in file-conflict checks
|
||
|
|
- Made --noconfirm actually work. Go me.
|
||
|
|
2.8.1 - Added a HoldPkg option in pacman.conf, for the more
|
||
|
|
exploratory users who run things like "pacman -R pacman". It
|
||
|
|
will ask for confirmation before removing any packages listed
|
||
|
|
in the HoldPkg list
|
||
|
|
- Added a --noconfirm switch for use with script automation
|
||
|
|
- Modified dependency resolution to prefer packages explicitly
|
||
|
|
requested on the cmdline instead of those pulled in by
|
||
|
|
resolvedeps(). Example, if neither "xorg" nor "xfree86" is
|
||
|
|
installed and "blackbox xfree86" is requested, "xfree86" will
|
||
|
|
be used instead of "xorg"
|
||
|
|
- Added patch from Jason Chu:
|
||
|
|
- Smarter file-conflict checking with symlinked paths and
|
||
|
|
with files that move from one package to another
|
||
|
|
2.8 - Bugfixes:
|
||
|
|
- #861: file:/// urls not handled properly with XferCommand
|
||
|
|

- #1044: segfaults when using -Rs
|
||
|
|
- #863: "missing post_remove" errors with some packages
|
||
|
|
- #875: detect low disk space properly
|
||
|
|
- #986: makepkg -e doesn't validate files
|
||
|

|
adding or removing packages

||
|
|
- added implementation of GNU's strverscmp function for better
|
||
|
|
portability
|
||
|
|
- added explicit unlink() calls when --force is used, which
|
||
|
|
prevents those nasty "Text file busy" errors when you
|
||
|
|
force-upgrade something like pacman or glibc.
|
||
|
|
2.7.9 - added the "force" option to packages, so --sysupgrade can
|
||

|
downgrade packages when it needs to
|
||
|
|
2.7.8 - added post_remove scriptlet support
|
||
|
|
- added -Qs option (bug #854)
|
||
|
|
- a provisio does not imply conflict, to make a provisio target
|
||
|
|
conflict with anything else that provides the same thing, you
|
||
|
|
can now do this by specifying the provisio target as both a
|
||
|
|
provides and a conflict, eg:
|
||
|
|
conflicts=('x-server')
|
||
|
|
provides=('x-server')
|
||
|
|
- cleaned up the download progress bar a bit
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
all deps of a target that aren't required by other packages
|
||
|
|
2.7.4 - fixed a bug in conflict handling, where installing a
|
||
|
|
conflicting package would fail even if the new package
|
||
|
|
"provided" it
|
||
|
|
- if pacman sees a newer version of itself during an upgrade,
|
||
|
|
it will ask to install itself first, then be re-run to upgrade
|
||
|
|
the other packages.
|
||
|

- You can now use the --info option with --sync to display an
|
||
