VERSION DESCRIPTION
|
||||||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
5.1.0 - Add new --overwrite option and deprecate --force. This accepts a
|
||||||
|
glob pattern with far more control than the widely abused force
|
||||||
|
option which mostly just causes issues (FS#31549)
|
||||||
|
- Add new --sysroot option and deprecate --root. This uses the
|
||||||
|
guest configuration instead of the host configuration, which is
|
||||||
|
what most people erroneously thought --root would do
|
||||||
|
- introduce a 'disable-download-timeout' option
|
||||||
|
- remove contrib - this is now maintained in a separate project
|
||||||
|
- report the owner of an existing file, if any, when erroring out
|
||||||
|
on a file conflict
|
||||||
|
- resolve cyclic dependencies when calculating unneeded dependency
|
||||||
|
trees (FS#41031)
|
||||||
|
- report the needed command to download missing databases for the
|
||||||
|
-F and -S actions
|
||||||
|
- don't error if -Qo cannot find the file it is querying on disk
|
||||||
|
(FS#55856)
|
||||||
|
- support new-style OpenPGP format packets lengths
|
||||||
|
- support EDDSA from gpgme 1.7.0
|
||||||
|
- fix continuously trying to open invalid databases and reporting
|
||||||
|
excessively excessive redundant error messages excessively
|
||||||
|
- fix the download callback erroneously reporting itself too many
|
||||||
|
times with --noprogressbar, or reporting inaccurate times for
|
||||||
|
small files (FS#56408, FS#56468)
|
||||||
|
- fix erroneous negative speed in download progressbar (FS#43434)
|
||||||
|
- parse stdin as newline-separated instead of whitespace-separated
|
||||||
|
(FS#52992)
|
||||||
|
- when printing urls in the package cache, print the file url
|
||||||
|
instead (FS#15868)
|
||||||
|
- add color to group selection dialogs and -{F,Q}o
|
||||||
|
- the -Q option now respects provides (FS#20650)
|
||||||
|
- remove notification of system upgrade when only printing URLs
|
||||||
|
- print replacements when using -Sup (FS#35812)
|
||||||
|
- fix -Qk and -r checking for the root prefix twice (FS#48563)
|
||||||
|
- Do not recognize # as a comment unless it is at the beginning of
|
||||||
|
a line. This allows using it as a value in ini files (FS#48702)
|
||||||
|
- ignore comments when examining INSTALL files (FS#51916)
|
||||||
|
- match multi-byte user input properly (FS#47992)
|
||||||
|
- abort transactions if even one database fails to sync (FS#47599)
|
||||||
|
- do not resolve uid/gid to names when extracting files with -r
|
||||||
|
- --dbonly now properly extracts metadata files (FS#52052)
|
||||||
|
- remove support for internal checksumming implementations, and
|
||||||
|
require at least one of openssl or nettle to exist
|
||||||
|
- consider provides to satisfy optdepends when warning for removal
|
||||||
|
or logging new optdepends during a transaction, as was already
|
||||||
|
the case for -Qi
|
||||||
|
- -Dk now reports if it is successful (FS#50087)
|
||||||
|
- consider version for optdepends (FS#44957)
|
||||||
|
- remove vim modelines in favor of EditorConfig
|
||||||
|
- implement pacman-conf, a new tool to safely parse pacman.conf,
|
||||||
|
and use it in internal scripts

||||||
|
- bash completion now completes -Qn
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
- makepkg:
|
||||||
|

||||||
|
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH when creating package metadata, and unifies
|
||||||
|
source file timestamps to match
|
||||||
|
- add more info to .BUILDINFO to aid in reproducing the build
|
||||||
|
environment of a package
|
||||||
|
- it is now possible to check the signature of VCS sources
|
||||||
|
(currently only git is supported)
|
||||||
|
- use informative exit codes when exiting with errors (FS#54204)
|
||||||
|
- lint_pkgbuild has vastly improved linting of pkgname and
|
||||||
|
variables that can contain pkgname/pkgver (FS#57833)
|
||||||
|
- implement linting for makepkg.conf
|
||||||
|
- fix using libmakepkg in external scripts without extglob
|
||||||
|
- fix handling of configurable directories e.g. PKGDEST to align
|
||||||
|
with their documented behavior, and consistently check that
|
||||||
|
they can be used (FS#43537)
|
||||||
|
- parseopts, srcinfo, and integrity are now part of libmakepkg
|
||||||
|
- consistently use coreutils for checksumming instead of openssl
|
||||||

(which may be replaced by nettle in pacman)

||||||

||||||
|
libmakepkg
|
||||||
|
- fix emptydirs support with newer findutils (FS#48515)
|
||||||
|
- ignore architecture for --printsrcinfo
|
||||||
|
- makepkg --printsrcinfo now correctly lists depends_$CARCH
|
||||||
|
instead of merging this into depends
|
||||||
|
- fix bug in is_array that broke packages with arch-dependent
|
||||||
|
sources only (FS#48340)
|
||||||
|
- move package signing outside of fakeroot which is incompatible
|
||||||
|
with recent gnupg versions (FS#49946)
|
||||||
|
- makepkg --clean now cleans up logfiles (FS#51039)
|
||||||
|
- when using $PKGDEST, do not symlink build artifacts into
|
||||||
|
current directory
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
possible basenames without extensions
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
