tar is slower and harder to diff. I doubt any one still uses it intentially.
There's a chance some people have not cleared their cache in two years
and still have tar based packages around. But forcing them to clear
their cache is not a big deal at all.
This moves the config parsing from out of alpm and into the
go-pacmanconf libary plus some boilerplate code to get it into our alpm
config.
This makes sense as many config options such as UseColor and CleanMethod
have nothing to do with alpm and only relate to pacman.
pacman-conf is used instead of direct config parsing. This tool resolves
defaults and includes for us, so we don't need to handle it.
It is now safe to drop all the config parsing from go-alpm.
The main reason behind this is for future localisation. yes and no can
be set to the localized equivalent and it should just work.
This Refactor also changes the function in ways which make it much less
confusing.
The param is no longer reversed and changed to a boolean. Before you had
to pass in Yy to get a default of no and vice versa.
The function now retuens false for no and true for yes. Before it would
return true if the default option was choosen.
Previously each call to an external command had two functions.
PassToFoo() and PassToFooCapture(). These functions are always similar
and end up with duplicated code.
So instead have the passToFoo() functions return the cmd itself and
create small helper functions show() and capture() which will run the
command and either forward it to std{out,err,in} or capture the output
Also the saveVCSInfo() function which was called after every makepkg
call is now only called after the pacman -U succeeds.
It seems the pkgbase is null for installed packages that are not part of
a split package. It was priviously assumed that if a package was not
part of a split package, pkgbase == pkgname would always be true.
Instead try to use pkgbase and if it does not exist fall back to
pkgname.
If a split package was installed and there was no package that matched
the name of the package base Yay would remove it even though there could
be other packages installed under that base but with a different name.
Now only clean a package if there are no installed packages under the
packagebase.
-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.
