2011-06-01doc: fix attribute substitution in monospaced textDan McGee
When I switched all paths to use `` formatting, I didn't realize substitution didn't work in these quote marks. Use ++ instead to ensure attributes are substituted where appropriate. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-06-01doc: add a few more escapes and fix usage of {}Dan McGee
These addditional attributes come from the git asciidoc.conf file. Also, fix a place where we used {treename} without escaping the braces, causing the generated manpage to be missing text. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-03-23Documentation consistency fixesDan McGee
Fix the way we were referring to paths (use ``), .pac* extensions (use ''), and other general things across our main manpages. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-01-31Allow both cleanmethod values to be specified at the same timeDan McGee
No reason to disallow this- it allows keeping even more packages around in the cache. Test cases included for this case and to ensure the default behavior is preserved. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2010-12-12Add configuration option to control disk space checkingAllan McRae
Disk space checking is likely to be an unnecessary bottleneck to people with reasonable partition sizes so add a configuration option to allow it to be disabled/enabled as wanted. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2009-10-04doc: ensure SyncFirst behavior with flags is clearDan McGee
When a SyncFirst transaction kicks in, no flags like '--force' are honored. This is for good reason, as honoring something like '--asdeps' could be quite unintentional. Document this fact and a possible workaround. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2009-09-06Allow $arch to be used in ServerXavier Chantry
similarly to the $repo variable, Server can now contain $arch, which will be automatically replaced by the appropriate architecture. This allows us to have one universal mirrorlist file, for both i686 and x86_64, woohoo! Signed-off-by: Xavier Chantry <shiningxc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2009-08-18dload.c : various fixesXavier Chantry
- fix one memleak if get_filename failed - cleanup according to Joerg's feedback: "url_for_string: If fetchParseURL returned successful, you should always have a scheme set. The logic for anonftp should only be needed for very broken server -- do you know of any such? download_internal: Specifying 'p' is now a nop -- it is tried by default first with fall-back to active FTP."

2009-03-15Fix several issues with xdeltaXavier Chantry
1) The changes to sync.c look big but there are mostly caused by the indentation. Fix a bug where download_size == 0 because the packages and deltas are already in the cache, but we still need to build the deltas list and apply the deltas to create the final package. 2) Fix the gzip / md5sum issue by switching to xdelta3, disabling external recompression and using gzip -n in pacman, and disable bsdtar compression and using gzip -n in makepkg.

2008-08-07doc: allow asciidoc to format the noteDan McGee
By doing the bolding manually, it doesn't look as cool in the HTML generated manpages. Let asciidoc do the work. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2008-05-13Add SyncFirst option.Chantry Xavier
This patch offers a way to fix FS#9228. By putting "SyncFirst = pacman" in pacman.conf, the version check will happen before the transaction really starts, and before any replacements is made. Otherwise, no version check is done. The sync301 pactest was updated to use this SyncFirst option. Example session with SyncFirst = pacman, and a newer pacman version available : $ pacman -Su (or pacman -S <any targets>) :: the following packages should be upgraded first : pacman :: Do you want to cancel the current operation :: and upgrade these packages now? [Y/n] resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts... Targets: pacman-x.y.z-t Total Download Size: x.xx MB Total Installed Size: x.xx MB Proceed with installation? [Y/n] n As Nagy previously noted, doing this check on any -S operations might look intrusive, but it can be required. For example, the case where you want to install a package with versioned provisions, using a pacman version which didn't support that feature yet (and there is already a newer pacman in sync db supporting it).

2008-03-23Add new CleanMethod option.Chantry Xavier
As it was already mentioned several times, the new -Sc behavior in 3.1 is great, but only when the package cache is not shared. This option has two possible values : KeepInstalled and KeepCurrent With KeepCurrent, -Sc will clean packages that are no longer available in any sync db, rather than packages that are no longer in the local db. The resulting behavior should be better for shared cache.

2008-03-17Drop case insensitive comparisons in the config parsing.Chantry Xavier
These case insensitive comparisons didn't work in some locales, like tr_TR where upper(i) != I. So a second case sensitive comparison had to be made for each directive. Only keeping case sensitive comparisons make the code cleaner and treat all locales equally. Ref: http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2008-March/011445.html Also fix pactests to use the correct case.

2007-12-29doc: rename manlink macro to linkmanDan McGee
Between AsciiDoc 8.2.2 and 8.2.3, the following change was made to the stock Asciidoc configuration: @@ -149,7 +153,10 @@ # Inline macros. # Backslash prefix required for escape processing. # (?s) re flag for line spanning. -(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>\w(\w|-)*?):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])= + +# Explicit so they can be nested. +(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>(http|https|ftp|file|mailto|callto|image|link)):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])= + # Anchor: [[[id]]]. Bibliographic anchor. (?su)[\\]?\[\[\[(?P<attrlist>[\w][\w-]*?)\]\]\]=anchor3 # Anchor: [[id,xreflabel]] This default regex now matches explicit values, and unfortunately in this case manlink was being matched by just 'link', causing the wrong inline macro template to be applied.
