|

2.9.8 - Changed behaviour with original=X,current=Y,new=Z scenario

|
|
|
|
|
- Search package provides when finding matching targets with -S
|
|
|
|

one of the packages in the final list doesn't already provide
|
|
|
|
|
that dependency
|
|
|
|
|
- fix for segfaults that occurred when propagating requiredby
|
|
|
|
|
fields to replaced packages where one package depended on
|
|
|
|
|
another replaced package
|
|
|
|

|
2006-02-18 16:54:11 -05:00
|
|
|
- patches from Miklos Vajna:
|
2005-10-17 14:52:43 -04:00
|
|
|
- add regexp search support for -Qs and -Ss
|
|
|
|
|
- fixed md5sums on x86_64
|
|
|
|
|
- add --sudosync to makepkg

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
- changed license field to operate as an array, not a string
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
is a file and the other is a directory, then it's a conflict
|
|
|
|
|
- fixed the integrity check in pacman-optimize
|
|
|
|
|
- reverted NoUpgrade to old behaviour and instead, added the
|
|
|
|
|
NoExtract directive to pacman.conf, which prevents a file
|
|
|
|
|
from ever being extracted on to the system
|
|
|
|
|
eg, NoExtract = home/httpd/html/index.html
|
|
|
|
|
2.9.6 - added a pacman-optimize script to try and defragment the DB
|
|
|
|
|
- modified NoUpgrade behaviour to avoid extracting files
|
|
|
|
|
that are missing from the filesystem -- this helps in
|
|
|
|
|
situations where the admin does not want the file there, eg,
|
|
|
|
|
remove index.html so index.php takes precedence
|
|
|
|
|
- fixed a bug where files would sometimes go missing if they
|
|
|
|
|
moved from one package to another
|
|
|
|
|
- add db_remove() which is responsible for clearing out stale
|
|
|
|
|
hash table entries when packages are removed
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
empty or whitespace-only strings

|
|
|
- fixed removal order when using -Rc or -Rs

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
- Fixed makepkg to use 'tail -n 1' instead of 'tail -1'

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

config files (inspired by Michael Baehr's patch)

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
- 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:
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
- #1027: download problems with http urls using -U/-A
|
|
|
|
|
- #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
|
|
|
|
|
- #1010: add -j option to makepkg
|
|
|
|
|
- #1028: make pacman -Sp runnable as non-root
|
|

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

|
|
|
|
|
- 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
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
- PKGDEST can be set in makepkg.conf (bug #783)
|
|
|
|
|
- patches from Aurelien Foret
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
- fixed a little display bug in the progress bar
|
|
|

|
external download utility like wget

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
- fixed another bug in conflict handling
|
|
|
|
|
- found an out-dated reference to /usr/abs, fixed
|
|
|
|
|
- added a --recursive option for package removal, which removes
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
|
uninstalled package's dependency info.

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
sync from (eg, pacman -S current/patch)
|
|
|
|
|
2.6.4 - Altered pacman_upgrade() to allow a package to replace itself
|
|
|
|
|
2.6.3 - A couple memory fixes in the new replaces code
|
|
|
|
|
2.6.2 - Fixed a memory cleanup bug
|

|
|
|
|
|
- bug #159 implemented (for -S and -R)

|
|
|
- makepkg delays fakeroot entry until after option parsing
|
|
|
|
|
- Fixed an argument-passing bug in fakeroot
|
|
|
|
|
- Modified pacman's behaviour wrt provides -- it now allows
|
|
|
|
|
multiple packages to be installed, even if they provide the
|
|
|
|
|
same thing (they were treated as conflicts before)
|
|
|
