The system virtualpkg directory set to <rootdir>/usr/share/xbps/virtualpkg.d contains
virtualpkg configuration files (.conf/.vpkg) that can be overrided by the admin
in <rootdir>/etc/xbps/virtualpkg.d bearing the same file name.
This obsoletes the "virtualpkgdir" keyword support from the xbps configuration file.
The system repository directory set to <prefix>/share/xbps/repo.d contains
system repository configuration files (.conf) that can be overrided by the admin
in <sysconfdir>/xbps/repo.d bearing the same file name.
If dependency is installed but does not satisfy the requirements, mark it
as an update and not install. The commit 869466278b changed the logic
for virtual and non virtual packages.
Before that change the code would do the following:
1- if dependency is installed, continue
2- if dependency is queued, continue
3- get dependency from repos
After that change the code does this:
1- if dependency is queued, continue
2- if dependency is installed, continue
3- get dependency from repos
So the dependency is checked if it has been queued as the first phase, which
seems to be the most common path in most cases.
In pwwka's case for some reason the transaction was trying to configure
'man-pages-3.62_1' while in pkgdb there was only 'man-pages-3.55_1'.
By using the pkgname the pkg stored in pkgdb will be configured, without
caring what version it is.
- 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().
