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
|
|

|
|

|
|
- Fixed a memory leak in db_find_conflicts()

|
|
- Fixed resolvedeps to always prefer literals over provisios
|
|

|
|
- 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
|
|

|
|

|
|
- FS#863: "missing post_remove" errors with some packages
|
|

- added patch from Aurelien Foret which improves performance
|
|
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 (FS#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
|
|

|
|
- 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.
|
|

|

db to get groups)
|
|
- fixed a bug with list_merge()
|
|
- fixed some MLK (in dumppkg() and with "-Qi --orphans")

|
target1 and target2 with content
