Before setting options such as --topdown would be saved to the config
file automaticly when used. Now this is no longer done by default and
isntead the --save flag must be passed for this to happen.
If --save is passed the config is now saved as soon as the argument
parsing is finished apposed to before where it was saved when yay exits.
This means that config changes will now apply if the user does a ^C
before yay finishes.
If a pkgbuild is already in cache and matches the version on
the aur skip the download.
The version we check comes from the .SRCINFO file on disk which is never
updated. (updates through pkgver() edit the pkgbuild but do not effect
the .SRCINFO). Therefore if the the version of the .SRCINFO matches the
AUR's version there must not be an update.
In the case of the on disk version being newer than the AUR version we
can assume user interaction and they probably do not want it overwitten
so in that case also skip the download.
Use the command `git ls-remote <url> <branch>` to track devel updates
rather than relying on the GitHub API.
This allows devel update to work for every git based source and
elimantes the rate limiting from GitHub.
The yay_vcs.json format has changed to better support packages which
multiple vcs sources and to track the protocols each source uses. And
track the branch that each source tracks in it's fragment.
Add ( and ) to "installed" to match groups and out of date
Show popularity as well as voted in yogurt mode
Show download and install size in yogurt mode
Remove printing of white and black
Fix incorrect message on number menu
Yellow is now almost never used
Use `v` instead of `r` when printing version
show when a page was marked out of date on search and info
Reword a lot of manpage and usage options.
Remove the `-Yg` and `-Y --getpkgbuild` options from documentation and
code as they have moved to `-G` and `--getpgkbuild`.
Update the version in the man page. Because our version is based on our
commit number added a `+` after the version number to indicated that
this is the version the manpage was written at but it also applies to
newer versions.
Added missing `-c --complete` and `-f --fish` options to the manpage.
But left them out of usage.
Added myself to the authors section. I do feel a bit bad about adding
myself and only myself but I thought it was not a good idea to add 20
names and fill up the page. There's currently no rules on who should be
added and not really a huge need for them right now. I guess we can just
add more people when we deem they belong there whatever that criteria
is.
Save the VSC Info as soon as the package install finishes. This should
ensure the VSC db does not end up in an incorrect state if an install
fails or is cancelled by the user.
This also adds better support for split packages. When one or more
packages are installed from the same base each individual package is
added to the db not just the base. This allows us to track individual
updates from the same base so that if one package gets updated we don't
assume all packages in the base are updated.
This commit mostly focuses on merging the install() and upgradePkgs()
functions to be more integrated. Instead of both making their own aur
queries they now both combine theyre needes into one query. This gives
us a speed up and allows us to easily print orphands, misising and out
of date in one clean block.
Currently sudoloop is run in parallel with the rest of the code this
causes the first sudo prompt to ask for a password while the code
continues running.
Instead hang on the first sudo, giving the chance for the user to enter
a password then continue the loop in the background.
Options such as --devel are now striped from the parser before handling
the command but the option is still processed so that config.devel would
be true.
Also changed `changedConfig` to a global in config.go
I have replaced the old install and dependancy algorithms with a new
design that attemps to be more pacaur like. Mostly in minimizing user
input. Ask every thing first then do everything with no need for more
user input.
It is not yet fully complete but is finished enough so that it works,
should not fail in most cases and provides a base for more contributors
to help address the existing problems.
The new install chain is as follows:
Source info about the provided targets
Fetch a list of all dependancies needed to install targets
I put alot of effort into fetching the dependancy tree
while making the least amount of aur requests as
possible. I'm actually very happy with how it turned out
and yay wil now resolve dependancies noticably faster
than pacaur when there are many aur dependancies.
Install repo targets by passing to pacman
Print dependancy tree and ask to confirm
Ask to clean build if directory already exists
Download all pkgbuilds
Ask to edit all pkgbuilds
Ask to continue with the install
Download the sources for each packagebuild
Build and install every package
using -s to get repo deps and -i to install
Ask to remove make dependancies
There are still a lot of things that need to be done for a fully working
system. Here are the problems I found with this system, either new or
existing:
Formating
I am not so good at formatting myself, I thought best to
leave it until last so I could get feedback on how it
should look and help implementing it.
Dependancy tree
The dependancy tree is usually correct although I have
noticed times where it doesnt detect all the
dependancies that it should. I have only noticed this
when there are circular dependancies so i think this
might be the cause. It's not a big deal currently
because makepkg -i installed repo deps for us which
handles the repo deps for us and will get the correct
ones. So yay might not list all the dependancies. but
they will get installed so I consider this a visual bug.
I have yet to see any circular dependancies in the AUR
so I can not say what will happend but I#m guessing that
it will break.
Versioned packages/dependencies
Targets and dependancies with version constriants such
as 'linux>=4.1' will not be checked on the aur side of
things but will be checked on the repo side.
Ignorepkg/Ignoregroup
Currently I do not handle this in any way but it
shouldn't be too hard to implement.
Conflict checking
This is not currently implemented either
Split Paclages
Split packages are not Handles properly. If we only
specify one package so install from a split package
makepkg -i ends up installing them all anyway. If we
specify more than one (n) package it will actually build the
package base n times and reinstall every split package
n times.
Makepkg
To get things working I decided to keep using the
makepkg -i method. I plan to eventually replace this
with a pacman -U based method. This should allow passing
args such as --dbpath and --config to aur packages
aswell as help solve some problems such as the split
packages.
Clean build
I plan to improve the clean build choice to be a little
more smart and instead of check if the directory exists,
check if the package is already build and if so skip the
build all together.
