2011-11-20makepkg: add support for PACKAGER environment varPhillip Smith
Add support for overriding configuration in /etc/makepkg.conf and ~/.makepkg.conf by setting the environment variable PACKAGER similar to how SRCDEST and PKGDEST behave. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2011-11-16Merge branch 'maint'Dan McGee
2011-11-15Update documentation regarding signature extensionsAllan McRae
Commit e7b56f48 allowed makepkg to handle pgp signatures with the .sign extension. Update the man page to reflect this. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

Adds test remove031. Signed-off-by: Dave Reisner <dreisner@archlinux.org>
2011-11-13add support for back end fnmatch'd optionsDave Reisner
This is work originally provided by Sascha Kruse on FS#20360 with only minor adjustments to the implementation. It's been expanded to cover: NoUpgrade, NoExtract, IgnorePkg, IgnoreGroup. Adds tests ignore008, sync139, sync502, and sync503. Also satisfies FS#18988. Original-work-by: Sascha Kruse <knopwob@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Reisner <dreisner@archlinux.org>

2011-10-14Remove -f short option for --forceDan McGee
This is not something that should be used on a frequent basis, and giving it a short option encourages use without making the drawbacks obvious. For the 1% of situations that require it, the 5 extra keystrokes are a fair price to pay. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-10-13doc/index.txt: Reformat past releases chartDan McGee

2011-10-13doc: update .gitignore, add CSS override for new tables usageDan McGee
* Make all docs depend on Makefile; if we change flags here we want them rebuilt. * Add explicit filenames to .gitignore so we can add our own CSS override file, and add an asciidoc-override.css resource. * Adjust a few asciidoc options when generating HTML. * Remove asciidoc-manpage.css; apparantly this doesn't exist anymore.

2011-10-05pacman-key: treat foo-trusted as an ownertrust export fileDan McGee
This allows it to serve double-duty. In order to allow users to base verification decisions off of both a valid signature and a trusted signature, we need to assign some level of owner trust to the keys we designate as trusted on import. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-10-05pacman-key: refine and clarify import/import-trustdb behaviorDan McGee
* --import now only imports keys from pubkey.gpg and does not import owner trust; if you want to have both simply run the operations in sequence. * --import-trustdb has been simplified; it will overwrite existing values in the trust database as before, but there is no need to export it first as those values are safe if left untouched. * Fix the manpage referring to a non-existent option. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-09-22Update Doxyfile and fix some documentation errors caught by DoxygenDan McGee
A few parameters were outdated or wrongly named, and a few things were explicitly linked that Doxygen wasn't able to resolve. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-09-22pacman-key: add an additional plain text 'foo-trusted' fileDan McGee
This is similar to the 'foo-revoked' file we had. This will be used to inform the user what keys in the shipped keyring need to be explicitly trusted by the user. A distro such as Arch will likely have 3-4 master keys listed in this trusted file, but an additional 25 developer keys present in the keyring that the user shouldn't have to directly sign. We use this list to prompt the user to sign the keys locally. If the key is already signed locally gpg will print a bit of junk but will continue without pestering the user. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
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. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2011-09-14buildsys: remove existing symlinks before installingDave Reisner

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

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>

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').

2011-08-11Allow --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: 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.
