2018-05-14Ensure better text editor automatic filetype detectionEli Schwartz
Since we no longer use vim-specific modelines, use the .asciidoc file extension which is, well, reserved for asciidoc formatted files. This should presumably work everywhere without needing editor-specific workarounds and configuration. Also add a shebang to makepkg.conf to indicate it contains bash content.

2018-05-14Remove all modelines from the projectEli Schwartz
Many of these are pointless (e.g. there is no need to explicitly turn on spellchecking and language dictionaries for the manpages by default). The only useful modelines are the ones enforcing the project coding standards for indentation style (and "maybe" filetype/syntax, but everything except the asciidoc manpages and makepkg.conf is already autodetected), and indent style can be applied more easily with .editorconfig Signed-off-by: Eli Schwartz <eschwartz@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2017-01-04makepkg: Disallow forward slashes in pkgverSteef Hegeman
scripts/libmakepkg/lint_pkgbuild/pkgver.sh.in now raises an error when pkgver contains forward slashes. pkgver containing a forward slash results in a package filename containing a forward slash, which isn't a valid filename.

2016-02-26makepkg: Remove upx and optipng supportAllan McRae
These options were added before libmakepkg allowed passes like this to be dropped in. I prefer only real core packaging tasks to be included in makepkg and additional things like this to be dropped in by a user or distribution that wants to support them.

2015-02-01add option to optimize PNG images with optipngChristian Hesse
This can decrease package size by optimizing PNG image size. Images are just stored with better compression and/or filter options. The actual image content is not altered. Additionally this can automatically fix broken PNG images which caused some trouble lately. Signed-off-by: Christian Hesse <mail@eworm.de> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2014-10-13makepkg: show full fingerprint on pgp failureDave Reisner
Rather than implementing suffix matching, which might clash, let's just print the full fingerprint of the err'ing key so that the user can copy/paste it into validpgpkeys. Also, make it clear in the manpage that validpgpkeys needs full fingerprints, and nothing else. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2014-10-13Revert "makepkg: allow less than the full fingerprint in validpgpkeys"Dave Reisner
This reverts commit 50296576d006d433fbfd4a6c57d5f95a942f7833. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2014-09-30makepkg: allow less than the full fingerprint in validpgpkeysDave Reisner
I found this feature confusing, and the documentation wasn't any help. It was pointed out to me on IRC that validpgpkeys expects full fingerprints, and won't accept shorter forms. This makes the documentation insufficient, and the variable name itself misleading. This patch bolsters the documentation to explain more about what the contents should be, and implements suffix matching to allow matching on shorters fingerprint suffices. Now, when makepkg tells you that a key ID isn't valid, it's sufficient to manually check the key ID against the known good ID, and add it as is to validpgpkeys. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2014-09-30PKGBUILD: add support for arch-specific sourcesDave Reisner
This implements support for declarations such as: arch=('i686' 'x86_64') ... source=("somescript.sh") source_i686=("http://evilmonster.com/i686/ponies-9001-1.i686.bin") source_x86_64=("http://evilmonster.com/i686/ponies-9001-1.x86_64.bin") md5sums=('d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e') md5sums_i686=('e4ca381035a34b7a852184cc0dd89baa') md5sums_x86_64=('4019740e6998f30a3c534bac6a83f582') Just the same as the "untagged" sources, multiple integrity algorithms are supported. The manpage is updated to reflect support for these suffices. This commit also refactors download_sources slightly: 1) to use the otherwise preferred convention of lowercase local variable names, and to make the handling of $1 more clear. 2) rename the "fast" parameter to "novcs", to make it more clear what this token does. 3) add a new possible token "allarch" to ensure that download_sources will fetch all sources, for all architectures.

2014-08-08PKGBUILD: handle arch specific attributesDave Reisner
This introduces support for architecture-specific conflicts, depends, optdepends, makedepends, replaces, and conflicts by appending "_$CARCH" to the array name. For example, in the global section: arch=('i686' 'x86_64') depends=('foo') depends_x86_64=('bar') This will generate depends of 'foo' and 'bar' on x86_64, but only 'foo' on i686. Moreover, this is supported in the package functions with the same heuristics as the generic names, e.g. ... arch=('i686' 'x86_64') depends=('foo') ... package_somepkg() { depends_x86_64=('bar') ... } Again, will cause x86_64 to have depends of 'foo' and 'bar', but only 'foo' for i686.
