Clean build needs to happen before downloading pkgbuilds so that they
can be deletd before downloading.
Editing and diff viewing needs to happen after downloading the
pkgbuilds.
Prevously we asked to clean and edit at the same time. Then clean,
download pkgbuilds and open the editor.
This poeses a problem for diff viewing and editing. It's likley that the
user will see the diff and use that to decide if they want to edit the
pkgbuild. Using the current method, the user will be asked to view diffs
and edit before actually seeing any diffs.
Instead split cleaning diff showing and editing to three seperate menus
in the following order:
show clean menu
clean
download pkgbuilds
show diff menu
show diffs
show edit menu
edit pkgbuilds
Also each menu is seperatly enableable. By default only the diff menu is
shows. If the user wishes to clean build, edit pkgbuilds or disable
diffs then the user can use the --[no]{clean,diff,edit}menu flags. This
replaces the --[no]showdiffs flags.
The order of targets does somewhat matter. For example doing something
like 'pacman -S db1/foo db2/foo' should cause the second package to be
skipped.
The order of targets also effects in which order they are resolved. This
should make errors more reproducable if any ever occur.
diff viewing can be toggled via --[no]showdiffs. When enabled diffs will
be shown for packages between the current HEAD and upstream's HEAD.
Packages downloaded via tarballs will be shown in full using the editor
git diff is used to show diffs. Therefore the pager for diffs can be
set via the PAGER and GIT_PAGER enviroment variables.
These flags limit operations to only check the repos or only check the
AUR. These flags apply to -S, -Si and -Su.
-a may also be used as a short option for --aur. --repo has no short
option as -r is taken.
-Sc will delete cached AUR data from Yay's build dir according to
the `CleanMethod` specified in the Pacman config file.
-Scc will delete all cached AUR data.
Additionally -Sc will also delete all untracked files in the AUR cache.
This will delete things such as downloaded sources and built packages
but will leave directories behind.
This is very usefull because the only reason a directoiry should exist
in the cache is because of downloaded VCS sources. Non VCS sources are
redownloaded every update because when a new version is released a new
tarball has to be downloaded. But VCS sources are never redownloaded,
updates are simply pulled. For this reason the user probably wants to
keep this data as it is still usefull even after building and installing
a package.
Use git clone over tarballs for pkgbuild downloading during -S. This
option can still be toggled using the config flags.
The config option for selecting clone or tarball will be overiden if an
existing package is cached. The method used to download the package
perviously will be used regardless of the config.
Previously we ran pkgver() right after dowloading sources. This is
a problem because prepare() should be called and all dependencies
should be installed before pkgver().
Instead bump the pkgver while building then get the new pkgver used for
install. Previously we parsed `makepkg --printsrcinfo` to get the new
version. Insead use `makepkg --packagelist` as it is much faster.
Allows searching the RPC for words that may be too short or have
too many results as long as another word in the search will work.
If no words can be used without error then the last error will be
returned and the program will exit.
add22f5957 added error checks to all the
passToPacman commands. This makes `yay -Q nonexistantpackage` return
non 0 as it should. Annoyingly it also made yay print `exit status = n`
which is the error string from passToPacman calls. This error doesn't
add much and is quite annoying, expecially when calling pacman commands
like `-Q` or `-Si` where yay should be kind of 'hidden' and print just
like pacman does.
Now set the error string to "" for pacman commands and don't print an
error if it == "" (avoids empty line printed).
Also behave more like pacman when using `yay -Qu`.
-Qu now has AUR support, it functions identically to `-Pu` and may replace
it in the futre.
Aditionally the pacman options `-n` and `-m` are also supported to
filter out native and non native packages. Other flags are not supported
currently.
Using any other `-Q` will fallback to Pacman.
The callback is set to allways silently say yes, When passing to pacman
for the intall pacman will then ask the question giving the user
a chance to answer.
Similar to the --redownload flag, when specifed targets will be rebuilt
even if an up to date version is cached. --rebuildall can be used to
ensure uninstalled dependencies are rebuilt as well.
Additionally, unlike --redownload there is also --rebuildtree. This
causes a rebuild and reinstall of a package and all of it's dependencies
recursivley. This is designed for when a libary updae, breaks an
installed AUR package due to a partial upgrade. polybar is a common
example
--rebuild allows you to easily skip the cache and rebuild against a newer
libary version. --rebuildtree is a more nuclear option where you can
rebuild the whole dependency tree.
Adds the ability to pick which database to install a package from. This
is extended to also support for AUR packages. For example `extra/git`
and `aur/yay` should both work`. When not explicitly requesting
a database repo packages will be choosen over the AUR.
This features extends to yogurt mode, listings where a package shows up
in multiple database/the AUR is now handled.
The aur does not have a real pacman databse like core, extra ect. But
can be accessed as if was one with `aur/name`. Using Yay with a pacman
repository named "aur" is undefined.
