Release Notes:

Added

  • Added BUILDING.md.

Changed

  • Show a warning when using Arch Linux styled architectures (those can be seen from the output of uname -p). Such architectures are still allowed for builds, but makedeb prompts the user to switch the architecture listing in the PKGBUILD to the Debian styled one (which can be seen from the output of dpkg --print-architecture).
  • Updated CONTRIBUTING.md with better guidelines.
  • Require pkgdesc to not be empty and contain characters other than spaces.
  • Show warning when pkgdesc or a maintainer entry isn't present in PKGBUILDs.
  • Show warning when more than one maintainer is specified.
  • Disallow distribution and architecture-specific variables from pairing up with each other (#150).
  • Require sources with distribution or architecture extensions in the variable name to have a matching hashsum entry with the same extensions (#150).
  • Update format of .SRCINFO files.

Deprecated

  • An architecture listing of any now sets the package architecture to the system's DPKG architecture (as required by the Debian control file specification). Previously any was automatically converted to all (which identifies an architecture-independent package), and using all now fulfills that purpose.
  • Removed the --ignorearch, --nodeps, --geninteg, -Q/--no-fields, and -v/--distro-packages options. --ignorearch, --nodeps, and --geninteg, should now be replaced with their hyphen-separated counterparts, with those being --ignore-arch, --no-deps, and --gen-integ respectively. All other previously mentioned options have been fully removed.

Fixed

  • Implemented a changelog (#145).
  • Moved all code to src/makepkg codebase (#130).
  • Disabled all colored output if file descriptor 2 isn't a terminal (#81).
  • Allow pkgver to include all characters allowed in the Debian control file specification.
  • Don't require pkgver to start with a number.
