Currently When performing a system upgrade, Yay will first refresh the
database then perform the repo and AUR upgrade. This allows Yay to add
some features such as better batch interaction, showing potential
dependency problems before the upgrade starts and combined menus
showing AUR and repo upgrades together.
There has been discussion that this approach is a bad idea. The main issue
people have is that the separation of the database refresh and the upgrade
could lead to a partial upgrade if Yay fails between the two stages.
Personally I do not like this argument, there are valid reasons to Yay
to fail between these points. For example there may be dependency or
conflict issues during the AUR upgrade. Yay can detect these before any
installing actually starts and exit, just like how pacman will when
there are dependency problems.
If Yay does fail between these points, for the previously mentioned
reasons or even a crash then a simple refresh will not cause a
partial upgrade by itself. It is then the user's responsibility
to either resolve these issues or instead perform an upgrade using
pacman directly.
My opinions aside, The discussions on the Arch wiki has reached
a decision, this method is not recommended. So to follow the decided
best practises this behaviour has been disabled by default.
This behaviour can be toggled using the --[no]combinedupgrade flag
It should be noted that Yay's upgrade menu will not show repo packages
unless --combinedupgrade is used.
--ask is no longer used when installing AUR packages, instead pass no
confirm when we know there are no conflicts and wait for manual
confirmation when there are.
This means that when there are no conflicts there should be no change in
behaviour and the user will not need to intervene at all.
The old behaviour can still be used with --useask.
Following the improvements in #480, #485, #486, a tiny bit of cleanup for a lone, forgotten line.
Plus the typo had been bugging me since I first saw it.
Instead of doing all the AUR stuff just pass to pacman and return. No
need for any of Yay's stuff when there's no AUR involved.
Of couse everything before that still happens. Upgrade menu ect.
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.
Newly cloned packages already start out at origin/master, so there is no
diff to show. Track if we cloned a package and if so make sure to show
the full diff
This is what 5775e3..43d2a6 has been leading up to. Git fetch will be
called on all pkgbuilds, then the user is offered a chance to view the
diffs. If they choose to continue, merging happens. This allows users to
abort the install after viewing diffs and still be able to see thoes
diffs again if they try to install later on.
This also makes the git stuff a little more modular which should help in
organzing diff showing + pkgbuild editing.
There were several calls to fmt.Errorf in setPaths where the returned error was not
being used. This was indicated by ```make test``` as shown here:
```
make test
gofmt -l *.go
go vet
./main.go:16: result of fmt.Errorf call not used
./main.go:21: result of fmt.Errorf call not used
./main.go:25: result of fmt.Errorf call not used
./main.go:30: result of fmt.Errorf call not used
./main.go:35: result of fmt.Errorf call not used
./main.go:39: result of fmt.Errorf call not used
make: *** [Makefile:43: test] Error 2
```
With these changes the tests now all pass with no errors.
