Packaging outside of fakeroot can result in incorrect permissions for
package files. It has been years since fakeroot issues during packaging
were common, so it is safe to enforce fakeroot usage. If using fakeroot
is impossible for some reason, a two line wrapper script will suffice to
fool makepkg.

The days of fakeroot being error ridden are long gone, so there is no
valid reason to run makepkg as root.

1. Packagers who want to test the package() function, i.e. to check the content
of the pkg/ folder.
2. Developers who want to check how the packaged version of a program looks, in
other words how the pkg/ folder looks.
3. For users of systems with no port tree, makepkg can ease package creation.
However the resulting archive of the whole makepkg process is often useless.
For all situations, makepkg will usually be called several times. But no archive
(the final package) is needed in any cases. The archive creation ends up being a
waste of time and resource, especially for big applications and slow machines.
Since this option aborts the process prematurely, it behaves like the
-o,--nobuild option, i.e. any other option acting on later stages in the process
will be automatically discarded. For --noarchive, it means that in
$ makepkg --noarchive --install
the '--install' option does not do anything.

Previously, install_package() return code was either used as exit code or
ignored. This was rather confusing. The return code is now always ignored and a
comment on install_package() has been added.

Previously only one pattern was allowed.
$ pacsearch foo bar
Search for packages containing 'foo bar'.
$ pacman -Ss foo bar
Search for packages containing both 'foo' and 'bar'.
Note that removing the quotes from the call was not enough since
$ pacsearch 'foo|bar'
would then fail.
Note the use of '--' to indicate the end of option parsing. This way we ensure
that input will always be valid and we need not input checks anymore.

ALPM still adds a warning to the log, but doesn't emit an event about
said warning, instead using a specific event to let the frontend what
happened/how to inform the user.
Note that there are 2 cases for installing a .pacnew file, to not
overwrite user changes and because file is in NoUpgrade. In the later case
the warning was a bit different: it happened before and said "extracting"
instead of "installed." Now both happen after and are phrased the same.

Package are processed in the same order as pacman output, so there is no real
need to sort. This makes the code simpler and faster.
The only difference is that local packages will always be printed at the
end. Previously, they were printed before multilib for instance.

In the old pacsearch, packages were identified uniquely by pkgfields[1], which
contained pkgname+pkgver. Since commit 4d13558 pkgver is stored in pkgfields[2],
and packages have been identified with pkgfields[1] only. Because of that
packages with a different version would appear once only.
This fixes the regression by identifying packages with both pkgfields[1] and
pkgfields[2].

I noticed when I built a kernel package with options 'strip' and 'debug' that
the debug package was missing the debug information for the kernel modules.
This patch adds kernel modules to the targets for 'strip' and is compatible
with the split-out debug information packages.

These will be emmitted when download a package file from a repository,
indicating that the download starts, and whether it was successfull or
not.
Note that when multiple servers are available, no event is emmitted when
switching to another server.
(This doesn't apply to alpm_fetch_pkgurl(), but since it is called by
the frontend, it shouldn't have problems knowing when the download
starts and when it ends.)

Instead of using two void* arguments for all events, we now send one

With this information, the pointer can then be typecasted to the

No more per-repo coloring: this was not Arch-agnostic, and there is no
reasonable, simple way to color repos in a consistant manner with only 6 colors.
