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.
As mentioned it is possible for stuff to clash in cache if you were to
-G a package from the repos, then -S an AUR package by the same name. To
avoid that give abs cloning its own directory.
It is still possible for a clash to occur if there was a package named
abs. However currently there is not.
Idealy the aur cloning would also get it's own subdir, but that will
invalidate everyone's cache so leaving it for a time with more breaking
changes.
This is also under its own config option so that AURDEST does not
interfere with it.
After building an AUR package don't install it right away. Instead queue
it for install.
Then when a package comes along that does not have all of its
dependencies satisfied, install the queued packages before builting.
This allows a standard AUR update to be done with one transaction, while
building AUR packages with long dependency chains will work as normal.
This feature is behind the `--batchinstall` flag.
If the package is already installed, we need to check if it is in the
repos to see if it aplies to rebuild tree. Normally alpm will not prompt
us to select a provider if we already have one installed. An exception
comes up when we have a provider installed that is from the AUR. In this
case FindSatisfier() still asks us to select a provider.
Now make sure to never to never show the menu if the package exists in
the local repo.
Previous default SigLevels caused 3rd party databases to take a very long time to
load and also to not load properly. Probably due to missing keys(?).
Pacman takes a long time to check the databases. For now, always set to
SigLevel 0 like how go-alpm did in its config parsing. Needs more
looking into for a proper fix.
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.
