xbps-0.21 (???):
* xbps-query(8): a full dependency tree can now be shown in the
show-deps mode, by specifying -x twice (--show-deps), e.g:
$ xbps-query -xx perl
glibc>=2.8_1
gdbm>=1.10_1_1
glibc>=2.8_1
libdb>=4.8.24_1
glibc>=2.8_1
$
* When running a full system upgrade (xbps-install -u) check if there's
any update to the xbps package, and if true, update this only in
the running transaction. This ensures that we update the package
manager without any trouble in pkgdb.
* New repository index format (1.7): unnecessary and redundant objects
have been removed that are already stored in package metadata files.
This means that xbps-query(8) in repository mode will now fetch package
metadata from the binary package and not from index. Only necessary objects
for the transaction and searching are kept.
* xbps-pkgdb(8): new option -u --update to update the pkgdb format to
the latest available. Do not forget to run it after updating xbps to 0.21.
* New pkgdb format: redundant objects have been removed (empty run_depends,
pkgname, version) and it is now a dictionary. The pkgdb file has been
renamed to "pkgdb-0.21.plist" to make future upgrades easier to
handle/update.
* configure: misc tweaks to allow building with the musl C library.
* xbps-query(8): packages can be matched by using virtual package
