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_.
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_handle::transd -> new member with transaction dictionary.
- xbps_transaction_prepare: returns an int.
- xbps_transaction_commit: doesn't need any arg now.
- xbps_repository_pool_sync: doesn't need any arg now.
- xbps_pkgdb_update: removed xbps_handle * arg.
- xbps_transaction_missingdeps_get: removed, missing_deps array is in
xbps_handle::transd("missing_deps") array object.
- xbps_repository_pool_find_pkg in best match case, now returns the
newest package version available in rpool.
- Added xbps_repository_pool_find_pkg_exact that returns a package
by exact matching a pkgver.
- Removed xbps_handle_alloc(), the user is free to use memory
allocated from heap or stack.
- Improved API documentation in preparation for 0.12.
Bumped XBPS_API_VERSION again.
The replaces code now checks all package dictionaries in the
transaction dictionary, and the sorting algorithm will put packages
to be removed at the head of the tailq.
This should fix issue 11 in googlecode.
- XBPS now expects to read individual virtual pkg settings from
.plist files in PREFIX/etc/xbps/virtualpkg.d.wants.
This really implements the missing part in issue #12 in
googlecode: 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.
