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.
- 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
Reverse dependencies weren't respected when replacing a pkg with
another pkg that is providing a virtual pkg for the former.
This resulted in reversedeps being completely lost when new pkg
is installed.
- A configuration file "xbps-conf.plist" replaces the (un)register target
in xbps-repo(8) and (un)set-prop in xbps-bin(8). For now, you can set
the repositories and prefered virtual packages.
- New package pattern matching code from NetBSD. Supports more ways of
matching patterns in packages.
- Multiple bugs fixed in virtual packages related matching code.

It should be provided in the proplib dictionary with key 'automatic-install'.
This fixes a regression not respecting the 'automatic-install' value stored
in regpkgdb.
Two new booleans were added to struct xbps_handle: install_reason_{auto,manual}.
The backend is able to force auto or manual installation for a package (and
dependencies that were installed/updated) by setting to true any of those
booleans. Bump XBPS_RELVER.
That means that the following functions were removed:
- xbps_set_{cachedir,flags,rootdir}.
- xbps_get_{cachedir,flags,rootdir}.
With this change fixed an obvious typo that made -c argument to not work,
and now the cache directory is an absolute path not relative to rootdir.
- Rename regpkgs_dictionary to regpkgdb_dictionary to better describe what is is.
- Change some funcs in plist.c to return a boolean rather than int.
- Hide more internal funcs off the API.
- Simplify xbps_repository_update_pkg() and remove its second arg.
- Hide implementation details in xbps_repository_pool, now to iterate over the
pool you have to use xbps_repository_pool_foreach and its struct
repository_pool_index.
- Introduce xbps_{init,end}, to initialize/destroy some stuff in the library.
- Introduce xbps_dbg_printf to printf stuff for debugging purposes.
- xbps-{bin,repo}: added -d arg to enable debugging output.
- Before checking if a config file needs to be installed or such, check that
package contains the "conf_files" array.
- Remove obsolete dirs as well while updating packages.
- If transaction dictionary is ready remove the "missing_deps" array.
Bump XBPS_RELVER to 20101118.

- There's no need to check rval for prop_dictionary_get_*, we are sure the
objects are there at prop_dictionary_set_* time.
- Avoid two chdir(2) calls per INSTALL/REMOVE run.
- Avoid using access(2) to check for existence of INSTALL/REMOVE scripts,
just try to run the executable directly and check for ENOENT.
