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.
The "version" argument (being optional) clearly is not needed and it
can be fully removed. This simplifies the internal implementation as well
as the API.
The third optional argument "pkgver" clearly is useless because we can
create it internally with "pkgname" and "version" arguments instead.
Also make the "version" argument mandatory.
The problem was that required package dependency was installed, but
the version didn't satisfy the requirement and the code unconditionally
assumed an updated existed in repository pool. Now the code checks
package state to set transaction reason.
- 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.
This fixes xbps_match_pkgpattern_in_array() which had the args swapped
in xbps_pkgpattern_match() resulting in inverted results while resolving
virtual packages in a transaction.
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.
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.
struct xbps_handle::conffile has been renamed to confdir, and it now
expects the path to a directory, where the configuration files are
stored.
Change xbps-bin(8) and xbps-repo(8) along with its manpages to mention
that -C expects a directory.
- 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
- 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
Now to find a virtualpkg set by the user in conf file, there is a new
function: xbps_repository_pool_find_virtualpkg(). Use it in some
places to make jpeg -> libjpeg-turbo (and other pkgs that can be
replaced with other virtual pkgs) work correctly even if installed
multiple times.
This for example fixes reinstalling jpeg and libjpeg-turbo multiple
times. Also if the "automatic-install" obj is in the pkg to be
replaced, copy it to the new pkg to be preserved.
Bumped XBPS_API_VERSION.
Reverse dependencies weren't respected when replacing a pkg with
another pkg that is providing a virtual pkg for the former.
This resulted in reversedeps being completely lost when new pkg
is installed.
- xbps_repository_update_packages: return ENOENT if regpkgdb is NULL
(no packages currently registered).
- xbps_repository_update_packages: return EEXIST if no updates are
available.
- xbps_repository_pool: return ENOTSUP if no repositories were
registered.
- make xbps-{bin,repo} handle ENOTSUP errors.
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
It should be provided in the proplib dictionary with key 'automatic-install'.
This fixes a regression not respecting the 'automatic-install' value stored
in regpkgdb.
Two new booleans were added to struct xbps_handle: install_reason_{auto,manual}.
The backend is able to force auto or manual installation for a package (and
dependencies that were installed/updated) by setting to true any of those
booleans. Bump XBPS_RELVER.
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 structure sets up function callbacks for fetching files and
unpacking binary packages, as well as setting the debug boolean.
This way the affected functions (xbps_fetch_file() and
xbps_unpack_binary_pkg()) do not need to accept the fn cb pointers
and data as arguments.
Bump XBPS_RELVER.
A new function xbps_find_virtual_pkg_in_dict() has been made public
to the API to make this find duplicate packages in the transaction
when updating packages.
The patch adds 150 lines approximately. It is implemented by modifying
xbps_find_pkg_in_dict_by_name() and xbps_find_pkg_in_dict_by_pattern().
When no dictionary is returned if tries to find a virtual package by
looking at the "provides" array object, if found.
This also makes xbps_unpack_binary_pkg follow this convention by avoiding
static variables.

branch : progress_callback
rename : bin/xbps-repo/util.c => bin/xbps-bin/util.c
So now its prototype is the following:
int xbps_humanize_number(char *buf, int64_t bytes)
It is a wrapper around NetBSD's humanize_number(3) which uses 6 digits for max
length, HN_AUTOSCALE and HN_NOSPACE|HN_DECIMAL. All users have been updated.
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.
prop_dictionary_t xbps_repository_pool_find_pkg(const char *pkg, bool bypattern, bool best)
This function iterates over the repository pool and returns a pkg
dictionary matching its pkgname if "bypattern" is false, otherwise
if "pkg" matches the pkgdep pattern. If "best" is true, it will look
in all repos and will return the newer version, otherwise the first one
that matches the arguments specified.
With this addition supporting many small registered repos is cheap, because
it checks by-package rather than by-package-list. This also helped to removed
some duplicated code and fix some rare bugs.
Bump XBPS_RELVER to 20110118.
- Rename regpkgs_dictionary to regpkgdb_dictionary to better describe what is is.
- Change some funcs in plist.c to return a boolean rather than int.
- Hide more internal funcs off the API.
- Simplify xbps_repository_update_pkg() and remove its second arg.
- Hide implementation details in xbps_repository_pool, now to iterate over the
pool you have to use xbps_repository_pool_foreach and its struct
repository_pool_index.
- Introduce xbps_{init,end}, to initialize/destroy some stuff in the library.
- Introduce xbps_dbg_printf to printf stuff for debugging purposes.
- xbps-{bin,repo}: added -d arg to enable debugging output.
- Before checking if a config file needs to be installed or such, check that
package contains the "conf_files" array.
- Remove obsolete dirs as well while updating packages.
- If transaction dictionary is ready remove the "missing_deps" array.
Bump XBPS_RELVER to 20101118.

rename : lib/regpkgs_dictionary.c => lib/regpkgdb_dictionary.c
This function returns and internalized dictionary from a package's metadata
plist file as specified by its arguments.
Update all code to use it where appropiate.
* 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.
