This reverts commit be7d8cfaf1.
This commit missed some previous copyrights mentioned,
in general I think its better to have this per-file to
follow who wrote what and when.
The funcs xbps_pkg_name() and xbps_pkgpattern_name() were
using malloc(3) to return the result, until now.
They now have been changed to not allocate the result
via malloc, the caller is responsible to provide a buffer
at least of XBPS_NAME_SIZE (64).
If for whatever reason the pkgname can't be guessed,
returns false. This should avoid lots of small allocs
around libxbps.
New functions have the following prototype:
bool xbps_pkg_name(char *dst, size_t len, const char *pkg)
bool xbps_pkgpattern_name(char *dst, size_t len, const char *pkg)
as suggested by @duncaen.
-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
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().
The list of required external deps is now confuse, libarchive and openssl.
libxbps now includes a wrapper for proplib prefixed with xbps_ rather than prop_.
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.
This fixes executing INSTALL/REMOVE scripts with the right version currently
installed, i.e kernel post-install failed to execute correctly its kernel
hooks due to passing a wrong version.
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.
The "version" argument (being optional) clearly is not needed and it
can be fully removed. This simplifies the internal implementation as well
as the API.
The third optional argument "pkgver" clearly is useless because we can
create it internally with "pkgname" and "version" arguments instead.
Also make the "version" argument mandatory.
- xbps_handle::transd -> new member with transaction dictionary.
- xbps_transaction_prepare: returns an int.
- xbps_transaction_commit: doesn't need any arg now.
- xbps_repository_pool_sync: doesn't need any arg now.
- xbps_pkgdb_update: removed xbps_handle * arg.
- xbps_transaction_missingdeps_get: removed, missing_deps array is in
xbps_handle::transd("missing_deps") array object.
