From 076b6184de2b20e9b26225d93f6f3a7030504109 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eli Schwartz Date: Thu, 3 May 2018 00:10:21 -0400 Subject: Ensure better text editor automatic filetype detection 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.

It uses simple -compressed files as a package format, and maintains a text-based package -database (more of a hierarchy), just in case some hand tweaking is necessary. - -pacman does not strive to "do everything." It will add, remove and upgrade -packages in the system, and it will allow you to query the package database for -installed packages, files and owners. It also attempts to handle dependencies -automatically and can download packages from a remote server. - -History -~~~~~~~ -Version 2.0 of pacman introduced the ability to sync packages (the '\--sync' -option) with a master server through the use of package databases. Prior to -this, packages would have to be installed manually using the '\--add' and -'\--upgrade' operations. - -Version 3.0 was the switch to a two-part pacman -- a back-end named libalpm -(library for Arch Linux Package Management) and the familiar pacman front-end. -Speed in many cases was improved, along with dependency and conflict resolution -being able to handle a much wider variety of cases. The switch to a -library-based program should also make it easier in the future to develop -alternative front ends. - -Version 4.0 added package signing and verification capabilities to the entire -makepkg/repo-add/pacman toolchain via GnuPG and GPGME. - -Version 5.0 added support for pre/post-transaction hooks and sync database file -list operations. - -Documentation -------------- - -Man Pages -~~~~~~~~~ -There are several man pages available for the programs, utilities, and -configuration files dealing with pacman. - -* linkman:alpm-hooks[5] -* linkman:PKGBUILD[5] -* linkman:libalpm[3] -* linkman:makepkg[8] -* linkman:makepkg.conf[5] -* linkman:pacman[8] -* linkman:pacman-key[8] -* linkman:pacman.conf[5] -* linkman:pkgdelta[8] -* linkman:repo-add[8] -* linkman:vercmp[8] - -Changelog -~~~~~~~~~ -For a good idea of what is going on in pacman development, take a look at the -link:https://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git/[Git summary page] for the -project. - -See the most recent -link:https://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git/tree/NEWS[NEWS] -file for a not-as-frequently-updated list of changes.

To install, download the newest -available source tarball, unpack it in a directory, and run the three magic -commands: - - $ ./configure - $ make - # make install - -You may wish to read the options presented by `./configure --help` in order to -set appropriate paths and build options that are correct for your system. - -Development ------------ - -Mailing List -~~~~~~~~~~~~ -There is a mailing list devoted to pacman development, hosted by Arch Linux. -link:https://mailman.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/pacman-dev/[Subscribe] or -link:https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/[view the archives]. - -Source Code -~~~~~~~~~~~ -Development of pacman is currently done in Git. The central repository is -hosted by Arch Linux, although some of the developers have their own trees (ask -on the above mailing lists if you are interested in finding the locations of -these trees). - -The current development tree can be fetched with the following command: - - git clone git://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git pacman - -which will fetch the full development history into a directory named pacman. -You can browse the source as well using -link:https://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git/[cgit]. HTTP/HTTPS URLs are also -available for cloning purposes; these URLs are listed at the above page. - -If you are interested in hacking on pacman, it is highly recommended you join -the mailing list mentioned above, as well as take a quick glance at our -link:HACKING.html[HACKING] document. -link:submitting-patches.html[submitting-patches] is also a recommended read. - -Not as familiar with code as you'd like to be, but still want to help out? If -you speak a foreign language, you can help by either creating or updating a -translation file for your native language. Instructions can be found in -link:translation-help.html[translation-help]. - -Other Utilities -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Although the package manager itself is quite simple, many scripts have been -developed that help automate building and installing packages. These are used -extensively in link:https://www.archlinux.org/[Arch Linux]. Most of these utilities -are available in the Arch Linux projects -link:https://projects.archlinux.org/[code browser]. - -Utilities available: - -* link:https://projects.archlinux.org/abs.git/[abs] - ABS (Arch Build System), scripts to download & use the Arch Linux PKGBUILD tree -* link:https://projects.archlinux.org/dbscripts.git/[dbscripts] - scripts used by Arch Linux to manage the main package repositories -* link:https://projects.archlinux.org/devtools.git/[devtools] - tools to assist in packaging and dependency checking -* link:https://projects.archlinux.org/namcap.git/[namcap] - a package analysis utility written in python -* link:https://projects.archlinux.org/srcpac.git/[srcpac] - a bash build-from-source pacman wrapper - -Bugs ----- -If you find bugs (which is quite likely), please email them to the pacman-dev -mailing last at mailto:pacman-dev@archlinux.org[] with specific information -such as your command-line, the nature of the bug, and even the package database -if it helps. - -You can also post a bug to the Arch Linux bug tracker -link:https://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?project=3[Flyspray].
