Raw Blame History

xbps-0.13.0 (???):
* libxbps: skip checking for obsolete files if a package in a transaction
replaces another one that is going to be updated. In such cases that means
new package now owns some files previously owned by the package to be
updated, therefore the updated package must not check for obsolete files.
* xbps-repo(8): the `show', `show-deps' and `show-files' targets now accept
package patterns, i.e "xbps-repo show 'foo>=2.0'". If only a `pkgname`
has been specified, the newest package available in repositories will be
shown.
* xbps-repo(8): print meaningful help usage, added -h option.
* xbps-bin(8): print a meaningful help usage, added -h option.
* libxbps: fixed xbps_transaction_install_pkg return value if package
is already installed: this must be EEXIST not ENODEV.
xbps-0.12.0 (2012-02-06):
* xbps-bin: new dry-run mode (-n) to show the actions that would
be executed in a transaction. This mode takes effect in the
autoremove, autoupdate, install, remove and update targets. Example:
$ xbps-bin -n install kernel-snapshot
<pkgname> <install|remove|update|configure> <version> <repository> <filename>
$
The format is "%s %s %s[ %s %s]\n" for `pkgname', `action', `version',
`repository' and `filename' (optional).
* xbps-bin: the install target will now install the best package
version available in repository pool if just package name has
been specified, otherwise the first repository matching the
specified pattern wins, i.e:
$ xbps-bin install foo 'blah>=1.2<2.0'
* Massive pkgdb API rototill. The xbps-uhelper command gained support
for the 'updatepkgdb' target which will migrate old pkgdb
format to the new 0.12 format. ALERT: make sure to execute
"xbps-uhelper -r <rootdir> updatepkgdb" to update to the new 0.12
pkgdb format before installing/removing/updating any package.
* Repository index 1.4: the file is now externalized to a proplib array
and has been renamed to "rindex.plist" to not break compatibility
with previous XBPS versions. This helps in simplifying the API
implementation substantially.
* Added a pkg-config file to simplify writing code with libxbps.
* libxbps: improved support for finding newest package versions available
in repository pool.
* libxbps: added support for finding exact package name/version matches
in repository pool.
* Fixed registering repositories with trailing '/' chars in
configuration file: xbps.conf.
* xbps-repo(8): the 'genindex' target now creates a plist file to cache
all files provided by binary packages in a repository. This makes
the 'find-files' target marginally faster, because this avoids having
to fetch data from network in remote repositories. The new file
'index-files.plist' will be downloaded every time the 'sync' target
is issued but only iff the file has been modified.
This fixes Issue 21 "`xbps-repo find-files` is awfully slow".
* It's now possible to fetch files thru xbps_fetch_file() from HTTP
servers that don't set the Content-Length header. This fixes issue 19:
"xbps-src cannot fetch source with unknown Content-Length" reported
by ojab.
* Renamed some options in xbps.conf to not have dashes, such as:
fetch-timeout-connection -> FetchTimeoutConnection
fetch-cache-connections-host -> FetchCacheConnections
fetch-cache-connections-per-host -> FetchCacheConnectionsPerHost
* Implemented memory caching for regpkgdb and configurable transaction
flushing. Can be changed in xbps.conf with "TransactionFrequencyFlusing".
By default set to 5. That means that every 5 packages processed in
a transaction there will be a regpkgdb plist flush to disk.
Setting it to 0 enables automatic mode which will only flush in
two required points. Setting it to 1 makes the behaviour used in XBPS<=0.11,
which flushed it on every package.
That feature provides a 25% (and in some cases even more!) of performance
when executing a transaction.
* Merged purge code into remove. It wasn't necessary to have this splitted,
so it now has been merged into xbps_remove_pkg(). That also means that
'-p' flag in xbps-bin(8) and xbps-repo(8) doesn't exist anymore.
* xbps-repo(8): the 'find-files' target accepts multiple patterns, such as:
$ xbps-repo find-files /bin/cat '/bin/f*' ...
* xbps-bin(8): the 'find-files' target accepts multiple patterns, such as:
$ xbps-bin find-files /bin/cat '/bin/f*' ...
* xbps-repo(8): the 'search' target accepts multiple patterns, such as:
$ xbps-repo search 'foo-[0-9]*' '*blah*' ...
* libxbps: more paranoid type checking and allocation results, to make
sure that out of memory conditions are handled gracefully.
xbps-0.11.0 (2011-12-20):
* xbps-bin(8): it is possible now to reinstall a package even if it's
installed with the '-f' option. If reinstalling the same package version,
only unexistent files or files not matching its hash will be extracted.
* While unpacking a binary package, always check that file to be extracted
exists on filesystem, if true and its hash is matched, skip extraction.
* While installing a package always preserve configuration files if they
exist, but if hash don't match rename configuration files to
<filename>.old.
* New shared configuration file via libconfuse that replaces the
plist configuration files: xbps.conf. That means that libxbps
now requires confuse >= 2.7 available at
http://www.nongnu.org/confuse/.
* Support for syslog logging common operations, such as install, update,
remove and purge via LOG_NOTICE, and errors with LOG_ERR.
By default it's always enabled, can be disabled thru the conf file.
* xbps-repo(8): new target: pkg-list [index]. This target will list all
packages from repository with index [index]. If optional argument
[index] (decimal) not set, all repositories will be used.
* libxbps: when registering new packages, existing entries in
requiredby matching the same pkgname/version touple are now
simply skipped.
* Repositories with missing index file are now simply ignored.
It's expected that user executes 'xbps-repo sync' to fetch the
index for all remote repositories specified in configuration file.
* Faster binary package unpacking. Only files and symlinks are now
extracted from binary packages, thus directories are not extracted
anymore. The package builder is responsible to create required
directories where appropiate and set correct permissions.
While being here, some stuff is skipped now if a package uses the
"preserve" keyword or package is being installed, resulting in a
faster operation.
* Implemented "New repository scheme and configuration file" from issue 16.
The plist index file has been renamed to "index.plist", version bumped
to 1.3. The configuration file (repositories.plist) now expect the full
path to the directory storing the index.plist file. This will allow us
to use other directories (such as non-free, or alike) for such purpose.
* libxbps: improve xbps_purge_pkg() in case that the process was
unexpectedly interrupted, do not error out unless the unregister
phase returns an error value.
* libxbps: when unpacking a package that replaced another package
due to virtual packages, preserve its configuration files if
they already existed.
* xbps-bin(8)/xbps-repo(8): new flag '-o' (option). This can be used
in the 'show' target to print only a set of objects stored in package's
properties dictionary, example:
$ xbps-bin -olicense show xbps
Simplified BSD
$ xbps-bin -oversion,build_date show xbps
0.10.1
Wednesday 26 October, 2011, 14:37:31 UTC
$
* libxbpps: when fetching new pkg-index.plist from a repository,
make sure that it's a plist file and can be internalized; otherwise
remove downloaded file and return error.
* xbps-bin(8): new test for the 'check' target to fix missing
entries in requiredby array, i.e reverse dependencies in
the package database plist.
* xbps-bin(8): the 'check' target now works virtual packages.
* libxbps: failed to properly match installed virtualpkgs that were
dependencies in a transaction, therefore resulting in real packages
being reinstalled and replacing installed virtual packages.
xbps-0.10.1 (2011-10-26):
* libxbps: fixed multiple free(3) calls in error paths (via closedir(3))
when some virtualpkg plist file couldn't be internalized.
* xbps-bin(8): 'remove' with recursive flag (-R) now removes first
the specified packages and puts its automatic dependencies at the
tail of the array.
* libxbps: xbps_pkgpattern_{name,version} now return expected
pkgname/version if pattern is a shell wildcard pattern (fnmatch(3)).
* libxbps: removed csh alternate code from the NetBSD's match code.
We weren't using this code anyway and this only slowed down
xbps_pkgpattern_match().
xbps-0.10.0 (2011-10-21):
* Fixed issue 11 "xbps-bin fails to update properly some pkgs".
http://code.google.com/p/xbps/issues/detail?id=11
* xbps-bin(8): the 'check' target now is able to detect if a package
was installed manually and other packages are currently depending
on it and change its mode to "automatic", i.e as dependency of those
packages.
* xbps-bin(8), xbps-repo(8): the -C flag now expects a path to a
directory where the configuration files (conf.plist and
repositories.plist) are stored.
* New configuration scheme for virtual packages as defined in
http://code.google.com/p/xbps/issues/detail?id=12
XBPS now reads all plist files in PREFIX/etc/xbps/virtualpkg.d.wants
directory with settings for the wanted virtual packages.
* New configuration scheme as defined in
http://code.google.com/p/xbps/issues/detail?id=12
A directory to store XBPS configuration files is now used, by default
set to PREFIX/etc/xbps. Configuration options are now set via
conf.plist, and repositories in repositories.plist.
* It is possible now to reinstall packages that provide virtual packages
and put it back the original package, such as jpeg <-> libjpeg-turbo
multiple times, without loosing important objects set when the
original package was installed, i.e reverse dependencies and
automatic installation. This is a requisite to really make a system
that can be fully customizable and restored back to its original
state with the virtual packages feature.
* Fixed issue 10 "HTTP repositories in non standard HTTP port currently segfault".
You can now use any HTTP server in non standard ports, such as:
http://yourhost:8080/your/repo
* xbps-bin(8): the 'check' target now detects broken symlinks and marks
them as critical errors.
* libxbps: when updating packages, only files that have been modified
(compared to current installed file) are now unpacked. This should
save some writes to storage and make the process a bit smoother as well.
* Moved install transaction code to libxbps. The API has been extended
with xbps_transaction_commit() which expects the transaction dictionary
as its argument. This function will execute transaction tasks, like
removing, updating, installing and configuring packages as defined
in the transaction dictionary.
* The 'cachedir' option in configuration file now can be changed to
be relative to the rootdir if the first character is not '/'. The
-c flag in xbps-bin(8) still expects a full path and if set, overrides
the setting in configuration file.
* xbps-bin(8): the 'show', 'show-deps' and 'show-revdeps' targets now
work with virtual packages.
* libxbps: fixed NetBSD's dewey matching code to properly identify
that a version X.Y.Z should be greater than X.Y_Z.
* libxbps: revamped virtual package handling. The public API find
functions (xbps_find_pkg_*) don't know anything about virtual packages.
To find virtual packages the xbps_find_virtualpkg_* functions must be
used instead of the "classic" ones.
* libxbps: the xbps_find_foo_in_array functions have been renamed
to xbps_match_foo_in_array because its task is only matching against
the provided package name, package pattern or string.
xbps-0.9.1 (2011-07-15):
* libxbps: xbps_repository_pool no longer loops forever if a package
index plist file cannot be fetched due to network problems, or
if the file is not available anymore; the repository will be
ignored.
* xbps-repo(8): the 'genindex' failed to register in pkg-index
packages less than on equal than any other package providing the
same package name. Ignore packages providing virtual packages.
* xbps-repo(8): the 'genindex' target now removes entries in existent
package index files for unexistent packages that were previously
registered (removed, not enough permissions, etc).
* xbps-repo(8): the 'genindex' target creates required directories
in local repositories if it's necessary.
* xbps-repo(8): the 'search' target now matches patterns in
case insensitive mode.
* A bug has been fixed while updating a package and another package
providing a virtual package with a greater version was available
in repositories. Only accept this if the virtual package is explicitly
enabled in the "virtual-packages" section in the configuration file.
xbps-0.9.0 (2011-07-08):
* configure doesn't require a zlib package with a pkg-config file, to
workaround some distribution that don't provide it (hi Ubuntu!). Rather
it now checks for a required function. Fixes issue 6 in googlecode.
* The configuration file now accepts a new option "fetch-timeout-connection",
to specify the limit to wait (in seconds) of timed out connections when
fetching files. It's set to 30 in configuration file, and if not set it
also defaults to 30 seconds.
* The configuration file now accepts new options to change rootdir
(same than -r in xbps-bin(8)), cachedir (same than -c in xbps-bin(8))
and fetching cache connection limits. If settings are specified via
the flags -r and -c in xbps-bin(8)/xbps-repo(8), they are prefered
over the ones in the configuration file.
* Fixed some bugs with virtual packages, to not adding duplicate package
dictionaries in the transaction dictionary.
* xbps-bin(8)/xbps-repo(8): the 'show-files' target now prints the target
file on symlinks, i.e: "/sbin/foo -> /sbin/blah".
* Changed the package pattern match code to the one available on NetBSD.
It's much better and provides more alternative pattern matching options.
* A new configuration file in plist format to specify repositories and
virtual packages has been created, defaults to "/etc/xbps-conf.plist".
That means that you no longer need to register/unregister repositories;
just add your favourite local or remote repository and the first time
XBPS needs to access the pkg-index file it will be downloaded.
More options and properties will be added to the configuration file in
the future. By default we use the official public remote repository,
and "dcron" package for a cron daemon package.
The ABI/API is not compatible anymore with previous versions, you've
been advised :-)
* xbps-bin(8): the 'check' target now also checks for modified symlinks,
and warns if any of them has been modified. For this to work, the package
metadata files.plist should contain the 'target' object in the 'links'
array (created automatically by xbps-src since 20110531).
* Improved repository package index format (v1.2). The index now contains all
package objects, so that it's not necessary to fetch info from binpkgs.
The file will also be a bit bigger, but not to worry about.
xbps-0.8.1 (2011-05-27):
* xbps-bin(8)/xbps-repo(8): more meaningful messages when a package couldn't
be found in the show, show-deps and show-files targets, rather than exiting
silently with only the error return value.
* Added three new objects for the package props.plist metadata file to
specify homepage, license and build date.
* Minor improvements to the generation of API documentation.
xbps-0.8.0 (2011-05-24):
* xbps-bin(8): added -A and -M options, for setting package install reason
to automatic or manual. Obviously both cannot be used togeter.
* xbps-{bin,repo}(8): -c (cachedir) argument now is an absolute path and
not relative to the root directory.
* Fixed finally when a package should replace an installed package, but
at the same time the package to be replaced also needs to be updated
in the transaction. A real example:
- sg3_utils-1.28 is currently installed.
- Installed package udisks-1.0.2_1 depends on sg3_utils-1.28.
- sg3_utils-1.28 has been splitted into libsgutils for 1.31,
and libsgutils-1.31 has "replaces=sg3_utils<1.31".
- udisks-1.0.2_2 depends on libsgutils-1.31.
So now the old sg3_utils-1.28 package will be marked in its transaction
object as "remove" and the new sg3_utils-1.31 package as "update".
Therefore both packages (sg3_utils old/new) will be in the transaction
but one will be removed and the other one updated.
* Fixed a bug that made all registered repositories to fail when the first
one couldn't be internalized in xbps_repository_pool_init().
* Added the concept of package properties in the API. At this moment
only one property is fully working, "virtual". When xbps-bin(8)
sets this property for a package, its virtual package list will be
set in the XBPS_REGPKGDB plist in a package dictionary and the matching
logic will always prefer its virtual packages over the real ones.
You can do wonderful things with this, like always using development
package versions, or simply customize what packages you want to
install rather than the default ones. As a real example, you can now
use the 'xbps-devel' package rather than the stable package version
'xbps' before installing the system and package dependencies will
still be resolved:
"$ xbps-bin set-prop virtual xbps-devel"
"$ xbps-bin install xbps-base-system"
Only packages that have the "provides" object are valid for the
"virtual" property.
* Moved the "replaces" handling logic into the API. But instead of
removing any package, the packages that should be replaced are
added into the transaction dictionary and marked as "remove".
The frontend is responsible to install, update, configure and remove
all packages by using the properties set in the transaction dictionary.
* xbps-dgraph: now parses the "provides" object in the package properties
metadata plist file for packages providing virtual packages.
* xbps-bin(8): added -R option for the "remove" target, to recursively
remove packages that were installed automatically by the package(s)
that we want to remove, and no other package currently depends on.
This is much like the remove and autoremove targets together, i.e
"xbps-bin -yp remove foo && xbps-bin -yp autoremove".
* xbps-bin(8): added -D option to only show the URLs to download the binary
packages required by the "install", "update" and "autoupdate" targets.
* xbps-bin(8): make the list target (without arguments) only show
packages that are fully installed. Previously packages in unpacked
state were also shown.
* Added support for virtual packages. A virtual package is one that doesn't
exist in the repository, but other packages can provide it. A new array
in the package properties dictionary has been added to specify which
virtual packages the package supports. As an example, the `rsyslog'
package provides the virtual package `syslog-daemon-0'. Other packages
can depend in `syslog-daemon>=0' and `rsyslog' will satisfy the dependency.
* Merged the `progress_callback' branch that makes possible to specify a
function callback to update progress while unpacking binary packages
and while fetching files. xbps-bin(8) now lists current extract files
with its size in bytes if -v flag is set.
* Improved package dependency resolution in repositories by using a new
function, xbps_repository_pool_find_pkg() that returns a package dictionary
found in the first repository registered in the pool. It can also be used
to find the newest version found in all registered repositories.
* Improved package dependency sorting algorithm that uses less memory,
it is 60% faster approximately and as bonus sorts all packages in the way
they should be (previously the sorting was a bit different for packages
with no run-time dependencies).
* Many structural changes in the API. Made some stuff private and changed
some function arguments in the API, the ABI is not compatible anymore with
previous versions... anyway you shouldn't be using libxbps just yet.
The API documentation has been modified to stay in sync with reality.
xbps-0.7.3 (2011-01-16):
* Fixed a bug that made libxbps fail to detect properly configuration files.
This made all updates in configuration files to be lost.
* It is now possible to properly build against an external portable proplib
(with pkg-config support) and libfetch.
* Enabled a bunch of compiler warnings in the configure script (if supported
by the compiler), and made symbol visibility dependent of configure tests.
* Added --silent argument to the configure script, hiding compilation
details in the build process (disabled by default).
xbps-0.7.2 (2010-12-28):
* Fixed some memleaks in libxbps and its clients, found by valgrind.
xbps-0.7.1 (2010-12-23):
* xbps-dgraph: fixed small build error on x86 shown in buildbot tests.
* libxbps: xbps_repository_pool_init(): don't loop forever if repository
pkg-index.plist files cannot be internalized.
* libxbps: xbps_fetch_file(): set a 30 seconds timeout for transfers.
* xbps-repo(8): fixed the 'genindex' target for the API changes in 0.7.0.
* xbps-uhelper: fixed the 'unregister' target for the API changes in 0.7.0.
xbps-0.7.0 (2010-12-15):
* xbps-repo(8): implemented the 'find-files' target to print which packages
own a file, link, directory, etc. Analogue to the one implemented in
xbps-bin(8). Works for local and remote repository, fetching info on-the-fly.
* Fixed a typo in the configure script that broke detection of strlcat(),
reported and patch provided by Min Sik Kim in issue 2.
* xbps-bin(8): added -F flag for the remove target. Unless it's set,
packages that are dependencies of other installed packages won't be removed.
This flag overrides this behaviour and forces the package removal.
* xbps-{bin,repo}(8): indent uniformly all lines while listing packages
in xbps-bin or while searching for packages in xbps-repo.
* xbps-repo(8): while searching for packages also try to find strings
in the short description object.
* xbps-{bin,repo}(8): added -d arg to enable debugging output to stderr.
* While updating packages, obsolete directories are also removed when
necessary. This helped to remove some empty dirs for python 2.6 > 2.7
update, just to mention a real example.
* Cleaned up the API. Still not finished and there's a long way to have this
finished and ready for public consumption.
* xbps-dgraph: new utility to generate graphviz' dot(1) graphs for package
metadata properties, such as dependencies, reverse dependencies, etc.
Extracts the info from installed package metadata plist files.
* Performance improvements in libxbps and all utilities, by avoiding
unnecessary access(2) and chdir(2) calls while executing the
INSTALL/REMOVE scripts at pre/post (de)install time.
* Fixed some memleaks on libxbps found while working on the xbps-dgraph
utility.
xbps-0.6.2 (2010-10-31):
* libxbps: xbps_repository_unregister(): in remote repositories, also
remove the pkg index file and its directory.
* libxbps: xbps_get_pkg_index_plist(): fixed a memleak.
* xbps-bin(8): modify the 'list' target to accept an optional argument to
list packages in the specified state, so that you can list packages that
need to be purged, configured and broken (will be used in the future).
* xbps-bin(8): added a new target 'find-files' to find which installed
package(s) own a file. Exact matches "/bin/mount" or patterns
"/usr/lib/libb[ao]b\*" can be specified.
* When updating a package and removing obsolete files, don't forget to
remove those directories if they were empty.
xbps-0.6.1 (2010-10-23):
* When replacing a package that is going to be updated in the transaction
do not remove it, just overwrite its files and continue. The updated
package will find that old files didn't match the SHA256 hash and will
skip them. This solves the issue of new package updates requiring new
dependencies with files that were previously stored in the old version.
For example gtk+-2.20 containing gdk-pixbuf, and gtk+-2.22 requiring
gdk-pixbuf externally.
xbps-0.6.0 (2010-06-03):
* Synced libfetch code with NetBSD pkgsrc, updated to 2.31.
* 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.
* Added strlcpy() and strlcat() from OpenBSD. Use them if they weren't
found by the configure script on the system.
* Added a configure script that emulates GNU autoconf but simplified, to
simplify customization for build options, flags, etc.
xbps-0.5.2.2 (2010-05-18):
* libxbps: do not forget to reset a variable to 0 when removing obsolete files
that are unexistent or its hash didn't match.
xbps-0.5.2.1 (2010-05-18):
* Due to human error, last fix in 0.5.2 was completely wrong and the
INSTALL/REMOVE scripts were simply empty so ENOENT was returned, clearly
this is expected and shouldn't be ignored.
xbps-0.5.2 (2010-05-18):
* libxbps: while running INSTALL/REMOVE scripts, do not fail if a script
returns ENOENT but the script exists; that means the script did not match
the expected action on its switch statement and the fact can be simply
ignored.
* libxbps: while upgrading packages and searching for obsolete files,
do not remove the files that did not match previous SHA256 hash. Also,
only remove obsolete dangling symlinks.
* xbps-repo(8): fixed the 'genindex' target to not return error if any
package is already registered in the index.
* xbps-repo(8): improved the 'search' target to also match substrings in
package/version tuples.
xbps-0.5.1 (2010-05-12):
* Fixed build issues in RHEL5, Ubuntu and others distributions.
* libxbps: changed the epoch component in version strings to the ':'
character to be differentiated from '-' in pkgname, and '_' in revision.
* xbps-bin(8): added a new target 'show-orphans' that list all package
orphans currently installed.
* Removed asciidoc build dependency, simply use the troff manpages.
xbps-0.5.0 (2010-05-01):
* xbps-repo(8): fixed the 'search' target to also match patterns against
its description, and not only from the package/version tuple.
* Cleaned up the code by using the LLVM's clang static analyzer, found
two possible NULL pointer dereferences in error branches and dead code.
* xbps-bin(8): added new flag '-p' for the 'remove' and 'autoremove'
targets, to also purge the package(s) after successful removal.
* xbps-repo(8): print a warning when registering a repository that has
been already added previously.
* 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.
xbps-0.4.1 (2010-02-28):
* xbps-bin(8): fixed the install target to work with package names containing
multiple '-', thus resulting in incorrect package name.
[ https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/528212 ]
* xbps-bin(8): fixed printing of incorrect message for packages containing
the 'preserve' object in its props dictionary.
[ https://bugs.launchpad.net/xbps/bugs/528216 ]
xbps-0.4 (2010-02-01):
* libxbps, xbps-bin(8), xbps-repo(8): redirect all warning and error
messages to stderr.
* libxbps: changes xbps_yesno() and xbps_noyes() to only accept "yes" or "no"
(case insensitive) answers rather than 'y' or 'n', to avoid mistaken answers.
* xbps-repo(8): added support to the 'search' target to find exact matches,
i.e 'xbps-repo search bash'.
* xbps-bin(8) added support to the 'install', 'remove' and 'update'
targets to accept any arbitrary number of package names, i.e
"xbps-bin install foo blah baz".
See https://blueprints.launchpad.net/xbps/+spec/arbitrary-pkgname-args
* xbps-bin(8): added support to the 'install' and 'update' targets to
accept package patterns, i.e "xbps-bin install 'foo<=3.0'.
See https://blueprints.launchpad.net/xbps/+spec/install-pkg-by-pkgmatch
* libxbps: fixed some bugs while upgrading essential packages when new package
didn't have an INSTALL or REMOVE script and old package had them.
* libxbps: fixed some memleaks found by cppcheck and valgrind.
* Makefiles reworked to support parallel builds.
* libxbps: many exported functions to the API are now internal and not
exported, because they were only used internally. The API is still not
finished and may be changed without notice.
* libxbps: be more strict finding required metadata plist files in binary
packages. Now the code checks for the two required plist files to be at
index <= 4 and doesn't write any entry to storage until they aren't found.
* Added doxygen documentation for the API, enabled with BUILD_API_DOCS.
* libxbps: synced libfetch code with NetBSD's pkgsrc, updated to 2.30.
* xbps-bin(8): when downloading binary packages, it now sets default
libfetch cache connection limits, thus reusing connections to the same host.
* xbps-uhelper: the 'fetch' target now accepts an arbitrary number of
arguments, and sets default libfetch cache connection limits.
* xbps-bin(8): enable -f option for the 'purge' and 'remove' targets.
If set, files will be removed even if its hash doesn't match for the
'remove' target, and configuration files for the 'purge' target.
* libxbps: if updating a package, always overwrite files while unpacking;
compare old and new files to remove obsoletes if necessary. This makes
the "essential" object in package dictionary unnecessary, because all
packages are treated as they were essential.
