xbps_find_virtualpkg_in_conf() needs to look at the vpkgs set up in
configuration files, not from those set by pkgdb.
As a result of this the two test cases that were failing yesterday are now
fixed.
Added a new test case to verify its correctness. Somehow virtual packages
declared via xbps.d(5) were not working correctly for dependencies.
This now works as expected with vpkgs declared with and without a version
component.
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.
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.
- 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.
- 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
