- 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.
- Removed -c --clean mode. It's not too useful and adds a considerable
amount of gratuitous code. It takes almost the same time than
adding all pkgs from scratch.
- When creating the repository data always add the meta plist at the
2nd position in the archive, to optimize its access.
- Misc improvements.
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.
