3a57bf9bd4 Misc textual fixes/changes to the man pages
Fixed the NAME sections and man page cross references; tried to make
VARIABLES reflect whether they were used in an expanded sense or not;
changed an .IP list with non-standard bullets to a .TP with standard;
added standard NOTES section to sbopkg.conf and changed the .SH under it
to .SS and also changed the INSTRUCTIONS .SH in sbopkg(8) to an .SS of
DESCRIPTION; changed the FILES section from dashed .PP to undashed .TPs,
and changed the font to .I; changed the SEE ALSO section by removing
quotes, adding commas, reducing individual file references to the
general doc dir which was given a full path and changing its font to
.IR; and redid the tags in the OPTIONS section of sbopkg(8), making
replaceable args italic, changing the dashes, adding the missing
argument to the -f option.

f1a2d0e19b Reverted the check_gpg() part of r797; added real fix
Another 'brown paper bag' commit. This is hopefully the real fix,
deleting the line from info_item() that actually echos 'OK'.

output from gpg in check_gpg(), and provides a better button to a widget in
load_user_queue()

90d57940b8 Tweaked the size of the select_repository() widget
This allows all current repos + 1 to fit without scrolling - eventually, the
repo list will outgrow the displayable area, but we might as well save
scrolling while we can.

c07caae18d Corrected a typo in the last revision (r786).

ff5d028f1f Renamed/revised remove_obsolete_packages() and added -O option
This revision converts remove_obsolete_packages() to
remove_uninstalled_packages() to better reflect what it currently
actually does and makes other minor revisions related to it. It also
adds a command line option (-O) to access this function. It's still
mnemonic with 'obsolete' because we're running out of option letters and
the function may yet be modified to remove obsolete sources.
2010-05-20 21:22:23 +00:00
slakmagik
0b89dd392f Modified get_source_names() to fix remove_obsolete_sources().
remove_obsolete_sources() uses data from get_source_names() to determine
whether a source is obsolete or not and was missing at least one atypical
package. Thanks to Chess for discussion and review.

Incidentally, this revision also finishes reordering the menu I started to
reorder in r771. It also tweaks the ChangeLog beyond just noting this
revision.

29f3ec72eb Added a '?' argument to the -V flag and modified manpage and help output
This allows the user to invoke sbopkg with '-V ?' to get a list of valid
repo/branches and allows us to suggest that in the manpage and help output.
This was we don't have to keep up with manually itemizing the valid options.
Part of this change pops out a pre-existing block of code and turns it into
list_repos().

79adfa16a7 add an explanation to sbopkg.8 man page about why 'su -' is strongly encouraged instead of just 'su'; we can change this to 'now required' if we make other changes requiring 'su -' but I wanted to at least get some sort of explanation we can point to if folks have issues with 'su'. 2010-05-12 20:31:21 +00:00

1bda5605aa Fixed issue 45 (problem detecting packages with '+' in the name).
Converted an egrep in info_item() into a grep to avoid issues with '+' being a
metacharacter.

Also removed stale lines (since r631) from gen_search_package() and
string_search(). Also added a couple of credits to the ChangeLog.

904d98dd15 Modified "Build options" dialog. Misc minor fixes.
Changed the menu order of the "Build options" dialog to default to using
"Saved" options rather than "None" on the theory that, if a user has
saved options, he will more likely want to use them than not.

Removed a commented-out block and made an assignment more consistent.
Brought the add_item_to_queue() comments more in line with its code.
Changed the filename value of GSNFILE so it gets caught by cleanup().
Fixed a typo.

59ac74efb1 Fail gracefully when there's an error computing a pkg repo version.
Sometimes sbopkg can't determine the version of a package. For example,
the google-chrome script looks at the source archive to determine it, and
such archive can very well be unavailable.
This patch makes sbopkg intercept the error condition and notify it to
the user gracefully, while at the same time falling back to trusting the
version provided in the .info file.
Thanks to alkos333 for the bug report.

246d57fe2e queue_dir_lister() tweaks.
Small improvements:
- reduce the number of times the queue directory is scanned
- drop a wrong 'continue' in the error path
- allow having a QUEUEDIR that is a symlink to the actual directory
- improve file cleanup.
