- This mode prints to stdout the matching FILE stored in a binary package.
- ABI break: renamed xbps_get_pkg_plist_from_binpkg() xbps_binpkg_get_plist().
- Added xbps_binpkg_get_file() as a generic way to get pkg file contents.
- Removed useless comments from xbps_api_impl.h.
- xbps_repo_open() accepts a third argument (bool) to acquire a POSIX file
lock on the repository archive.
- xbps_repo_close() accepts a second argument (bool) to release a POSIX file
lock on the repository archive.
This avoids the issue of multiple xbps-rindex(8) processes being blocked
even for different repositories on the same architecture, resulting in
unnecessary contention.
The previous internal "struct rpool" was an extra structure that
can be avoided by just using "struct xbps_repo" directly.
This makes rpool use (at least) 4KB less per repository and 1
extra allocation.
- Repository keys are now stored in a new directory on metadir (/var/db/xbps):
<metadir>/key>
- Repository keys are stored with the hex fingerprint of its RSA
public key in a plist dictionary:
<metadir>/keys/xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.plist
- Drop xbps-rkeys(8) and merge its functionality into xbps-install(8) and
xbps-query(8).
- xbps-query(8) -vL now shows some more details of remote repositories:
3134 http://localhost:8000 (RSA signed, verified)
Signed-by: Void Linux
4096 60:ae:0c:d6:f0:95:17:80:bc:93:46:7a:89:af:a3:2d
16 http://localhost:8000/nonfree (RSA signed, verified)

Bump XBPS_API_VERSION.
- Remove xbps_repo_get_plist() and try to internalize all members at
xbps_repo_open() time.
- Added xbps_repo_open_idxfiles() to also internalize the index-files
plist from repository, which is really huge and must only be internalized
when needed.
- Improve how signed and verified repositories are detected.
- Misc optimizations and small performance improvements.
Bump XBPS_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.
