The variables to set cachedir, rootdir and metadir have been
changed to "array of chars", this way there are no extra allocations.
Update clients accordingly and bump API version.
The previous internal "struct rpool" was an extra structure that
can be avoided by just using "struct xbps_repo" directly.
This makes rpool use (at least) 4KB less per repository and 1
extra allocation.
- Repository keys are now stored in a new directory on metadir (/var/db/xbps):
<metadir>/key>
- Repository keys are stored with the hex fingerprint of its RSA
public key in a plist dictionary:
<metadir>/keys/xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.plist
- Drop xbps-rkeys(8) and merge its functionality into xbps-install(8) and
xbps-query(8).
- xbps-query(8) -vL now shows some more details of remote repositories:
3134 http://localhost:8000 (RSA signed, verified)
Signed-by: Void Linux
4096 60:ae:0c:d6:f0:95:17:80:bc:93:46:7a:89:af:a3:2d
16 http://localhost:8000/nonfree (RSA signed, verified)
Signed-by: Void Linux

Bump XBPS_API_VERSION.
- Remove xbps_repo_get_plist() and try to internalize all members at
xbps_repo_open() time.
- Added xbps_repo_open_idxfiles() to also internalize the index-files
plist from repository, which is really huge and must only be internalized
when needed.
- Improve how signed and verified repositories are detected.
- Misc optimizations and small performance improvements.
Bump XBPS_API_VERSION.
In some tasks the single threaded implementation outperms the multithreaded
one. Use it where it really makes a difference. The _multi() routines do not
spawn any thread if _SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN == 1.
Bump XBPS_API_VERSION.
This routine will spawn a thread per core to process N items stored
in the specified array, the last thread gets the remainder of items left.
Results have shown that xbps benefits if there is a considerable amount
of items and number of threads being spawned.
Use it in xbps_pkgdb_foreach_cb(), xbps-pkgdb(8), xbps-query(8)
and xbps-rindex(8).
On UP systems there's no overhead because pthread(3) is not used at all.
WIP! investigate if it can be used in libxbps (xbps_rpool_foreach()),
and finish conversion of xbps-rindex(8) -c.
The list of required external deps is now confuse, libarchive and openssl.
libxbps now includes a wrapper for proplib prefixed with xbps_ rather than prop_.
Previous code incorrectly found obsolete files in this case:
(curpkg) - in files: /etc/foo.conf
(newpkg) - in conf_files: /etc/foo.conf
and removed this file because the code couldn't find it in the same
array. The new code fixes this case and compares the whole pkg filelist.
Instead a two stage approach is necessary when packages for target arch
are installed:
- XBPS_TARGET_ARCH=arch xbps-install foo <- only unpack
- xbps-reconfigure -a <- configure natively or via an emulator
These are the core interfaces in the new API:
rpool - Interface to interact with the repository pool.
rindex - Interface to interact with repository indexes.
pkgdb - Interface to interact with local packages.
transaction - Interface to interact with a transaction.
This also brings new repository index format, making the index file
per architecture and being incompatible with previous versions.
The transaction frequency flush option has been removed, and due to
the nature of package states it was causing more harm than good.
More changes coming soon, but the API shall remain stable from now on.
xbps_fetch_file:
- A temp file is created with .part extension to improve resuming.
- Files are downloaded in cwd.
- Switch to futimens(2) and fsync(2).
xbps_repository_sync_index:
- Do not create local repodir in metadir if it already exists.
- Simplify the code thanks to new xbps_fetch_file().
There's no need to prop_dictionary_copy the returned dictionary to
later have to free it again, just return directly the dictionary and
avoid the free(3)s.
1- We can cache the result of the first xbps_pkgdb_init() when it fails
and avoid the malloc/free/access from it.
2- We cache the uname(2) result into a private var in xbps_handle and
use it in xbps_pkg_arch_match().
This improves performance by ~5% approx and it's close as it was before
introducing the repository index format 1.5.
