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.
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
* Add proplib-0.4.1 source and use it in XBPS. This is to avoid
an external dependency, so that we depend on the features of the
internal library. This also means that proplib is not required anymore.
* Added support to read/write gzip compressed plists by default, thanks
to proplib-0.4 that gained new functionality.
That means that from now, XBPS will be able to write compressed gzip
plist files for all metadata related work. This will vastly reduce
bandwidth required for fetching remote repo's pkg index file and
binary packages.

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:
- 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.
