|
|
package updates with versions that do not conform to the
|
|
default version comparison operations

|
|
- 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

|
|
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.

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
|
|

adding or removing packages

portability

|
|
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
|

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.
