2011-09-22pacman-key: remove holdkeys functionalityDan McGee
We're putting the cart ahead of the horse a bit here. Given that our keyring is not one where everything is implicitly trusted (ala gpgv), keeping or deleting a key has no bearing on its trusted status, only whether we can actually verify things signed by said key. If we need to address this down the road, we can find a solution that works for the problem at hand rather than trying to solve it now before signing is even widespread.

2011-09-14buildsys: remove existing symlinks before installingDave Reisner
This fixes build errors when performing a manual install straight to a filesystem where the files already exist. Reported-by: Sergej Pupykin <ml@sergej.pp.ru> Signed-off-by: Dave Reisner <dreisner@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-09-02pacman-key: add --refresh-keys operationDan McGee
This allows new signatures to be pulled, revocations to be found, etc. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-09-02pacman-key: split keyserver to a separate optionDan McGee
This also renames '--receive' to '-recv-keys' to match the wrapped gpg option name, rather than invent a new one, now that the calling convention is the same. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-09-02pacman-key help and documentation cleanupDan McGee
We were using the mystical [<foobar>] options which is some sort of cross between a <required> argument and an [optional] one. Remove this madness and do some other general cleanup/consistency work in the manpage. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-09-02doc: consistency when referencing other optionsDan McGee
Use '\--option' rather than `--option` everywhere. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2011-08-29pacman-key: rework and document holding keys in keyringAllan McRae
The HoldKey option was undocumented and was not suited for pacman.conf. Instead use the file "/etc/pacman.d/gnupg/heldkeys" to contain a list of keys not to be removed from the pacman keyring with the --populate option. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2011-08-29pacman-key: rework importing distro/repo provided keyringsAllan McRae
The current --reload option, apart from being non-clear in its naming, is very limited in that only one keyring can be provided. A distribution may want to provide multiple keyrings for various subsets of its organisation or custom repo providers may also want to provide a keyring. This patch adds a --populate option that reads keyrings from (by default) /usr/share/pacman/keyrings. A keyring is named foo.gpg, with optional foo-revoked file providing a list of revoked key ids. These files are required to be signed (detached) by a key trusted by pacman-key, in practice probably by the key that signed the package providing these files. The --populate flag either updates the pacman keyring using all keyrings in the directory or individual keyrings can be specified. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2011-08-23vercmp: ensure 2.0a and 2.0.a do not compare equalDan McGee
We had this interesting set of facts conundrum, according to vercmp return values: 2.0a < 2.0 2.0 < 2.0.a 2.0a == 2.0.a This introduces a code change that ensures '2.0a < 2.0.a' as would be expected by the first two comparisons. Unfortunately this stays us a bit further from upstream RPM code, but those are the breaks (in RPM, the versions involving 'a' do in fact compare the same, but they are both greater than the bare '2.0').

2011-08-16doc/PKGBUILD: fix Asciidoc formatting issuesDan McGee
We had this gem: ⇐ (less than or equal to) Due to not ensuring we did literal printing of things like this. Fix it and a few other problems noticed scanning through both the HTML and manpage generated files. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-08-16Update authors and contributorsDan McGee
* .mailmap: add mapping for Dave's two email addresses. * AUTHORS: clear out file, tell people to use `git shortlog -s` instead. * doc/footer.txt: "promote" Dave, put Xavier and Nagy in past contributors. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-08-15build-sys: always use $(RM) instead of rm -fDave Reisner
These are equivalent. Use the autoconf macro for consistency. Signed-off-by: Dave Reisner <dreisner@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2011-08-11pacman: remove --dbonly shortoptDave Reisner
This is somewhat of a dangerous option with limited use cases. Don't advertise it as an easily accessibly option. Signed-off-by: Dave Reisner <dreisner@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-08-11Allow --needed and --recursive on -U operationsDan McGee
Trivial to implement as the same backend machinery is used anyway. Document it and add it to the accepted options. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-08-11Add -S --recursive operationDan McGee
This closely matches what we had before for -R --recursive. Basically, when specifying a target (e.g., pacman), we can now recursively pull all dependencies, regardless of version specifiers and whether they are already satisfied in the local database. This could be used to update pacman on a system with an old glibc, for example, as both pacman and glibc would get pulled into the transaction. This is most useful with --needed to prevent needless reinstalls as described in the man page changes. The end goal of this change is to wire it into SyncFirst and have it be the default mode of operation there, but that belongs in a separate changeset. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2011-08-02docs/pacman.conf: Document SigLevel optionDan McGee
This adds docs for SigLevel, which can exist in both [options] and [repository] sections. It also does a bit of reworking of the structure of this manpage and adds a labeled list under the repo sections where we didn't have one before. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-08-02pacman-key: follow gpg options for listing keysAllan McRae
The current --list option outputed the keys and all their signatures which can be overly verbose. It also did not take a list of keys on the command line to limit its output (although the code suggests that was intended). That patch brings consistency with gpg, providing --list-keys and --list-sigs options that function equivalently to those provided by gpg.

2011-07-28Unify modelines in Asciidoc filesDan McGee
This gets us close to using the same modeline in all files we run through Asciidoc, as well as adding the spell and spelllang declarations, just as we had in NEWS already. The choice of 'en_us' is mainly for consistency and because the body of work already uses these spellings. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-07-27pacman-key: Add --import and --import-trustdbPang Yan Han
Currently, pacman-key allows the user to import their keys using the --add option. However, no similar functionality exists for importing ownertrust values. The --import-trustdb option takes a list of directories and imports ownertrust values if the directories have a trustdb.gpg database. The --import option takes a list of directories and imports keys from pubring.gpg and ownertrust values from trustdb.gpg. Think of it as a combination of --add and --import-trustdb Signed-off-by: Pang Yan Han <pangyanhan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-07-27makepkg: more control of skipping integrity checksAllan McRae

2011-07-27makepkg: Add support for verifying pgp signaturesWieland Hoffmann
Many projects provide signature files along with the source code archives. It's good to check these, too, when verifying the integrity of source code archives. Not everybody is using gpg so the verification can be disabled with --skippgpcheck. Additionally, only a warning is displayed when the key that signed the source file is unknown.

2011-07-14doc/PKGBUILD: clarify scriptlet version argumentsDan McGee
It was a bit unclear that both pkgver and pkgrel were included in the passed version strings; clarify this fact in the manpage. Also include epoch in the mix now that it exists. Also make two other minor consistency touchups to code-print variables in text. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-07-14Add 'compress' compression format as an available optionDan McGee
This adds the '.tar.Z' option to both repo-add and makepkg for no other reason than "why not", and because bsdtar supports it natively with the '-Z' flag. Also update the documentation accordingly. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
