-VERSION DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- - fix for regex searches with -Ss (Miklos Vanja)
-2.9.7 - fixed the dupe listings of packages when dealing w/ groups
- - patches from Miklos Vanja:
- - add regexp search support for -Qs and -Ss
- - fixed md5sums on x86_64
- - add --sudosync to makepkg
- - show syntax help if an invalid option is used
- - added makepkg option to disable ccache support
- - changed license field to operate as an array, not a string
- - added more logic for file conflict checks - if one target
- is a file and the other is a directory, then it's a conflict
- - 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
- from ever being extracted on to the system
- eg, NoExtract = home/httpd/html/index.html
-2.9.6 - added a pacman-optimize script to try and defragment the DB
- - modified NoUpgrade behaviour to avoid extracting files
- that are missing from the filesystem -- this helps in
- situations where the admin does not want the file there, eg,
- remove index.html so index.php takes precedence
- - fixed a bug where files would sometimes go missing if they
- moved from one package to another
- - add db_remove() which is responsible for clearing out stale
- hash table entries when packages are removed
- - added ccache support to makepkg
- - patch from Aurelien Foret fixes a few memory leaks
-2.9.5 - bugfix: missing files after re-ordering packages wrt
- deps with --upgrade
- - added "Repository" line to -Si output
- - patch from Tommi Rantala to fix trim() behaviour with
- empty or whitespace-only strings
- - fixed removal order when using -Rc or -Rs
-2.9.4 - fixed a bug that was introduced from another bugfix :-/
-2.9.3 - fixed a couple manpage typos
- - added --ignore to -S operations, works just like IgnorePkg
- - respect IgnorePkg list when pulling in dependencies
- - numerous memleak fixes
- - some code changes to improve customizability/branding
- - Makefile fix for nonstandard lib search paths (Kevin Piche)
- - fixed the leftover directories in /tmp
- - speed improvement patches from Tommi Rantala
-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
- - Patch from Kevin Piche:
- - Use list_add_sorted() with -Sg
- - Patch from Hegedus Marton Csaba:
- - Better manpage compression
- - Added checks for additional hyphens in package versions
- - mktemp was failing if %pmo_root%/tmp was missing -- fixed
-2.8.4 - Added updatesync script from Jason Chu
- - Changed the pacman binary to be dynamically linked
- - Included a pacman.static binary as well
- - Added fakeroot checks when seeing if we're root
- - Fixed makepkg to use 'tail -n 1' instead of 'tail -1'
- - Added patch from Kevin Piche:
- - Cleanup db_loadpkgs(), add list_add_sorted()
- - Fixed a memory leak in db_find_conflicts()
-2.8.3 - Fixed a little makepkg bug with bash 3.0
- - Fixed resolvedeps to always prefer literals over provisios
- - Added --config option to specify an alternate config file
- - 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
-2.8 - Bugfixes:

- - 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 (bug #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')

- - found an out-dated reference to /usr/abs, fixed
- - 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.
