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.
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.
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.
Prepare ends up getting ran twice every time we install a package,
theres not problems with doing so apart from a little inefficiency.
Previously the install flow would be like this:
downlod sources + verify
prepare + pkgver bump
full build (prepare included)
Now on the last point pass no extract to use the srcdir from the
previous command and pass noprepare and holdver because we allready did
these steps previously.
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.
Pacman 5.1 removes the symlink to the current directory for built
packages. This causes Yay to break for people who have set an external
PKGDEST.
Pacman 5.1 also brings an improved --packagelist option. This makes
it much simpler to find where packages will be placed. Hence this fix
also simplifies the code.
Yay has an -Sc option to clear it's cache. If using an external PKGDEST
this is now mostly useful for clearing out old pkgbuilds and sources.
paccache should be used for cleaning build packages.
The previous warning system would show warnings recursivley for all
packages being resolved. While I like this, other have complained at it
being overly verbose.
Either way the main purpose of this is to allow warnings to be printed
before the upgrade menu shows. This is mostly just to get a usable
warning system.
This may change if a better solution is found.
Targets are used for tracking wether a package should be marked as
explicitly installed or as a dependency. This is not ideal because you
can have a target such as java-environment that resolves to a different
package.
Therefore Targets are now used only for the initial dependency resolving
and checking for missing dependencies. The Explicit set is now used to
mark what packages are explicit, seperate from the targets.
The warnings were moved down to after the upgrade menu, mainly because
it is a lot easier to do this way, it may get moved back if it can be
done in a non hacky way,
Sort the provider menu alphabetically. Always ensure direct matches show
up first. This ensures hitting enter for the default value will always
be the same package that the user/dependency requested if an exact match
exists.
If a package is already installed pick that instead of providing a menu.
Ensure duplicates do not show up in the menu.
MakeOnly would be set to true when moving from normal deps to make deps
But would incorrectly stay set to true when moving to the deps of the
following packages.
depOrder.Aur now only holds one package from each base like
depCatagories does.
If --ignore was specified on the command line and the user skips
packages using the number menu, packages would not be properly skipped
because they the manual --ignore would overide the --ignore from the
menu.
Now correctly combine both --ignore flags into a single combined flag
when passing to pacman.
This bump reflects the big change introduced with using git cloning.
Therefore we know all versions pre-6 do not use git clone
Signed-off-by: Jguer <me@jguer.space>
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.
