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.
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.
xbps_find_virtualpkg_dict_installed() also finds real packages, so there's no
need to use both in xbps_check_is_installed_pkg_by_{name,pattern}.
Bump XBPS_API_VERSION.
- Configuration file 'xbps-conf.plist' has been splitted off into
two files: conf.plist and repositories.plist. By default they
are stored in etc/xbps.
- Changed some members in xbps_handle struct, mostly to make it easy
to change its value in {cache,root}dir and conffile.
- Made xbps_init() release proplib objects as soon as we don't need
them, that way it uses 35% less of memory or in some cases even more.
There will be another commit that will implement to read new virtualpkg
settings by the user, as specified in:
http://code.google.com/p/xbps/issues/detail?id=12
Along with this change, compat code has been added (from NetBSD)
for systems that don't have it. The compat code has been reorganized
to be in a common place and its prototypes in compat.h.
The configure scripts checks if strcasestr() is available, and
uses compat code if not found.
This fixes issue #2 on github.com/vanilla/xbps.
- A configuration file "xbps-conf.plist" replaces the (un)register target
in xbps-repo(8) and (un)set-prop in xbps-bin(8). For now, you can set
the repositories and prefered virtual packages.
- New package pattern matching code from NetBSD. Supports more ways of
matching patterns in packages.
- Multiple bugs fixed in virtual packages related matching code.

rename : LICENSE => COPYING
That means that the following functions were removed:
- xbps_set_{cachedir,flags,rootdir}.
- xbps_get_{cachedir,flags,rootdir}.
With this change fixed an obvious typo that made -c argument to not work,
and now the cache directory is an absolute path not relative to rootdir.
This function replaces xbps_repository_get_path_from_pkg_dict() and
xbps_get_binpkg_local_path(). It takes a pkg dictionary as returned
by a repository pkg index or a transaction dictionary and returns
a string with the full path to the binary pkg, either in local
repos, cachedir or remote repos.
Update all code to use this function... sorry I broke ABI compatiblity.
- There's no need to check rval for prop_dictionary_get_*, we are sure the
objects are there at prop_dictionary_set_* time.
- Avoid two chdir(2) calls per INSTALL/REMOVE run.
- Avoid using access(2) to check for existence of INSTALL/REMOVE scripts,
just try to run the executable directly and check for ENOENT.
* libxbps: improved xbps_get_file_hash() to mmap(2) rather than read(2)
the file we have to process. With mmap'ed files the hash can be
processed 5x faster than before, or even more in some cases.
* libxbps: switch to OpenSSL SHA256 implementation and remove the one
previously used. It's faster and OpenSSL is required for libfetch so
there is not point in using it.
Changes included in this set:
* Added strlcat() and strlcpy() from OpenBSD, always use them if the
system does not have them built in.
* Changed an array of PATH_MAX size allocated in the stack, to a dynamically
allocated buffer from heap. This should reduce memory usage a bit.
* Simplify code that implemented a homegrown realpath(3) implementation,
simply use realpath(3).
* If compiler supports -fstack-protector, build all code with
-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 and --param ssp-buffer-size=1 so that all
buffers are protected.
Some changes were made to the API when making the documentation:
- A few exported functions are now hidden, because they were only used
internally in the library.
- A few exported symbols were renamed to document them better than
previously.
- Cosmetic changes all along the way, as well as some fixes here and there.

libxbps:
* Added xbps_set_cachedir() and xbps_get_cachedir(). By default it's
set to /var/cache/xbps if not specified and it's always relative
to the root directory.
* Move mkpath() code from sync_remote_pkgidc.c into its own file mkpath.c
to use it in another parts of the code.
* Added xbps_get_binpkg_local_path(), that returns the local path to
a binary package file, stored in cachedir or local repo.
* Remote pkg index files are now stored directly in metadir/repodir,
skipping the arch directory because binpkgs are now in cachedir.
xbps-bin:
* Added -c flag to set the cachedir.
* Check sha256 hashes in the download stage so that it can check
a downloaded binpkg immediately once is stored.
* If a binpkg doesn't match the hash it will be refetched.

libxbps:
- Moved repolist code to lib/repository_pool.c.
- Renamed xbps_{prepare,release}_repolist_data() to
xbps_repository_pool_{init,release} respectively.
- Moved regpkgdb dict code to lib/regpkgs_dictionary.c.
- Renamed xbps_{prepare,release}_regpkgdb_dict() to
xbps_regpkgs_dictionary_{init,release} respectively.
- Use a global reference count for repository_pool and regpkgs_dictionary,
this gives a substantial performance gain while looking for dependencies
in repository pool, among other things.
- Make xbps_find_pkg_* functions return errno and use it to detect
for spurious errors in code using them.
- Add code to detect when a dependency is already unpacked.
xbps-bin:
- Do not set pkg state to unpacked in the transaction, it's set already
while a package is unpacked.
- While installing or updating packages, it now knows when a dependency
is already unpacked and shows it as "unconfigured".
Bump XBPS_RELVER to 20091126.

xbps_sync_repository_pkg_index:
- create the local repo dir in XBPS_META_PATH.
- also add the uri scheme (http://, https://, ftp://) in the created
local directory and subst ':' also with an underscore.
- do not create local repo directories unless the download pkg-index
plist file is verified to be fetched correctly.
xbps_check_is_repo_string_remote:
New function to check if a repo string is a remote repository, use
it in all places where it was used before.

It's possible now to require greater, greater or equal than,
less, less or equal than, and equal pkg versions, as well as using
'{}' and '[^!]' csh patterns in dependencies.
Code lifted from FreeBSD, thanks! :-)

libfetch from NetBSD's pkgsrc has been imported into lib/fetch, but
the objects are embedded into libxbps. Only a public function to fetch
files has been implemented: xbps_fetch_file().
The library now is built with -fvisibility=hidden by default, and
exported symbols are the ones that use the SYMEXPORT macro.
The code works well enough, but will need many more cleanups.
