User-defined packages cache location and packer.conf support

Open mloskot opened this issue 13 years ago • 2 comments

  • Added support for optional configuration file packer.conf where user-defined cache for packages can be defined.
  • Added -P option to request cache purging without any package action.
  • Updated man page.
  • Added myself to copyright and authors notices.
  • Added sample for default /etc/packer.conf

Here is paste with PKGBUILD file for my forked version of packer: https://gist.github.com/3147316

I posted short announcement to the packer thread on the Arch forum.

I don't want a config file. Right now packer recognizes your makepkg.conf cache variable and uses that.

Sure. I was half way through the modifications when I learned that makepkg.conf can control that too to some extent (Arch is still new to me). Although, makepkg.conf affects more than private (still optional) config for packer.
