- -d, --debug new option to enable xbps debug output.
- --distdir short option has been changed to -D.
- -R, --repository=url new option to append repos to the xbps list.
New options:
-i, --installed [to check for outdated pkgs in a rootdir]
-r, --rootdir [to set the root directory]
The utility name does not make sense anymore and will be renamed in an
upcoming commit.
This is the 2-clause BSD implementation that does not use any external
dependency (other than libxbps).
Written by xdave.
Made some minor changes to build cleanly.
Before that change the code would do the following:
1- if dependency is installed, continue
2- if dependency is queued, continue
3- get dependency from repos
After that change the code does this:
1- if dependency is queued, continue
2- if dependency is installed, continue
3- get dependency from repos
So the dependency is checked if it has been queued as the first phase, which
seems to be the most common path in most cases.
In pwwka's case for some reason the transaction was trying to configure
'man-pages-3.62_1' while in pkgdb there was only 'man-pages-3.55_1'.
By using the pkgname the pkg stored in pkgdb will be configured, without
caring what version it is.
- Rather than using a POSIX named semaphore use a POSIX lock (lockf(3))
for pkgdb for writers. Writers that cannot acquire the pkgdb lock will
get EAGAIN rather then being blocked.
- Due to using a file lock we cannot write the pkgdb every time a package
is being unpacked, configured or removed. Instead pkgdb is only written
at the end of a specific point in the transaction (unpack, configure, remove)
or via xbps_pkgdb_unlock().
xbps-uhelper now supports downloading files with a defined destination.
The syntax of fetch is "URI>FILENAME". So if you call
xbps-uhelper fetch "http://foobar.com/foo.tar.gz>bar.tar.gz"
the output file will be named "bar.tar.gz"
This function is similiar to xbps_fetch_file(). In contrast to xbps_fetch_file()
xbps_fetch_file_dest has an extra paramenter which allow to define an output file
for the request.
