Now we write changes to */src/usr/doc/ChangeLog.txt and generate
*/tools/ChangeLog-latest.txt. User visible changes since the last
release were added to the former.
Also re-added a re-re-rename that SBo keeps waffling about. ;)
* unknown_response(): new function to specify calling function and
unknown input in the error message.
* any functions with '{error_,}read's in them: replaced 'local ANS/read
ANS/case $ANS' with 'local REPLY/read/case $REPLY' and all '*) Unknown
response' with '*) unknown_response'.
* several functions: added missing 'local REPLY'
* get_source(): removed stale 'ANS'
* read_info(): reformatted case statement
Also made two other probably unnecessary changes to help with hunting an
elusive bug.
* error_read(): modified to loudly bomb out if it's somehow acquired an
impossible value.
* main: modified ON_ERROR so it's even more impossible for it to get the
wrong value.
Previously, the user was confronted with 7 prompts for directory
creation on first run to which they could hit enter or ^C in response.
The main purpose of this revision is to provide a nice printout and a
single question to which they can hit 'y/n'.
This led to a cascade of changes but it's all focused on establishing
sbopkg's needed directories and even results in fewer loc.
* directory_checks(): replaced with dir_init()
* config_check(): the ALLOW_MULTI check there was creating a directory
rather than checking the config, so moved it to dir_init(). Also made
the directory creation non-interactive since it's only creating a
tmpdir in an already-created sbopkg directory.
* sync_repo(): moved the directory_check() call to select_repository()
since being able to switch repos mid-run in the dialog
select_repository() interface is the direct (and only) reason for
calling dir_init() after startup. Removed the check_write() call and
all the rest related to it as it was no longer needed.
* select_repository(): aside from gaining the item just mentioned, the
'save setting' dialog was wrapped in a conditional based on whether
the user actually chose to create the new repo dir.
* ck_dir(): removed. The seven calls in directory_checks() went with
that function and the one in config_check() was also removed, since
it's now handled by dir_init() non-interactively, leaving it unused.
* check_write(): removed. The single call from sync_repo() was removed,
as discussed above, leaving it unused.
* pid_check(): now does a quick check for ALLOW_MULTI, making that a black
box that does the right thing.
* main: as just mentioned, the ALLOW_MULTI check was moved into
pid_check(). ALLOW_MULTI already gets special treatment in cleanup()
and did in config_check() and does in dir_init(), so it might as well
in pid_check() rather than being tested for in main. And, of course,
replaced the directory_checks() call with one to dir_init().
Modified all parameter expansions to use default values.
Also tweaked some wording and spacing and fixed an sbopkg-breaking typo
from the last commit of this file.
Replaced variable data with 'xxxDATAxxx' tags. The tags are replaced by
the revised release script. This way, only that file needs to have,
e.g., 'size' changed and it will propagate to the README and both
manpages, rather than requiring three separate edits. Also, sbopkg.conf
and sbopkg.conf(5) will always automatically be in sync.
Also shortened how we test for whether DEBUG(_UPDATES) is 0,1,2 and made
DEBUG_UPDATES use default values if unset, rather than being set
directly to a default value.
This entire variable may be removed shortly but, until then, there's
this.
In HACKING, I moved two points, modified two points, moved and modified
one point, and added two points. I also separated all points with a
blank line as is consistent with the first list in the file.
In both man pages, I shortened most 'SlackBuilds.org' references to
'SBo'; shortened most 'SlackBuild scripts' references to 'SlackBuilds';
added some missed root prompt symbols; and added a few missed .Bs and
.Is or flipped a wrong one for the right one.
In sbopkg.conf.5, I added 'simultaneously' in ALLOW_MULTI; revised a
line in KEEPLOG, and one in LOGFILE; and flipped a couple of
inconsistent .PP/.RS pairs to .RS/.PP.
In sbopkg.8, I added a comma in a list; redid a sequence of bold/roman
in the '-e' arg list; changed 'another configuration file' to 'FILE';
and flipped the out-of-order -r/-R flags.
Started a sentence on another sentence's line in sbopkg.conf(5) and left
a separator at double lines when it should have been changed to single
in sbopkg(8).
Also added several more points to HACKING which cover most of the other
changes - there are a few semantic/textual changes in here, too. The
largest changes are probably a making the 'type' of the conf values a
part of the 'template', moving and adding complete authors to both
The revision removes LOGDIR from sbopkg, sbopkg.conf.new, and
sbopkg.conf(5) and adds the previously missing LOGFILE value to
sbopkg.conf(5). Now, with a test for a setting to absolute path, we use
the dirname of LOGFILE rather than LOGDIR.
This makes all config file values be rendered the same way, with the entire
line in its own paragraph, which is set to fixed-width font (for postscript
output) and shortens and simplifies the intro line in keeping with the
whole-line consistency.
Also corrected one point in HACKING relevant to earlier revisions and
added three more points relevant to this one. However, the vast majority
of changes in this revision don't fall under those three points or any
easily generalizable description. They're just attempts at more clarity,
consistency, accuracy, etc. Oh, and some punctuation, too.
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.
this misc revision adds a note about git to KNOWN_ISSUES, silences unwanted
output from gpg in check_gpg(), and provides a better button to a widget in
load_user_queue()
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.
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.
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.
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().
"When in doubt use brute force." The timid line in r770 could result in rm
spitting errors. Thanks to Mauro for the right line. Corrected a typo while I
was at it.
