xbps-{alternatives,pkgdb,reconfigure}: xbps_pkgdb_update()
has been fixed to flush when told so, and we don't need
to update the in-memory copy because we are exiting.
- Simplify xbps_repo_open::repo_get_dict().
- Use xbps_end() in the utils where necessary.
- Make xbps_end() call xbps_pkgdb_unlock() if necessary.
- Make xbps_end() release rpool resources.
- Make xbps_end() release resources from xbps_handle.
- Fixed 90% of reported leaks (still reachable at exit) from valgrind.
That was to silence valgrind's memcheck with --leak-check=full.
-i, --ignore can be specified multiple times and can be used to
ignore configuration of those packages while configuration of all
packages is being performed.
Close#67
- Rather than using a POSIX named semaphore use a POSIX lock (lockf(3))
for pkgdb for writers. Writers that cannot acquire the pkgdb lock will
get EAGAIN rather then being blocked.
- Due to using a file lock we cannot write the pkgdb every time a package
is being unpacked, configured or removed. Instead pkgdb is only written
at the end of a specific point in the transaction (unpack, configure, remove)
or via xbps_pkgdb_unlock().
The variables to set cachedir, rootdir and metadir have been
changed to "array of chars", this way there are no extra allocations.
Update clients accordingly and bump API version.
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.
