The previous idea was to use virtual packages in the users configuration
to satisfy dependencies by mapping them to existing installed packages.
Using virtual packages for it doesn't work as expected and trying to make
it work would break other functionalities of virtual packages, like the
version satisfaction checks for `provides` and the ability to replace
virtual packages with real packages. The virtual package functionality
should be used exclusively for virtual packages.
This allows users to specify packages packages that should be ignored.
Ignored packages in dependencies are always satisfied without installing
the package, while updating or installing a package that depends on an
ignored package.
This does NOT ignore the shlib checks, ignoring a package that provides
required shared libraries will abort the transaction as if there was no
package that provides the required shared library.
There's no reason to make them absolute, simply store in the metadata
the target file as is. This vastly simplifies the code and makes all
test pass correctly.
If xbps-create(8) did not guess the target file of relative symlinks for
some reason, just compare the current symlink and what's stored as is,
without converting it to absolute.
This might happen with dangling relative symlinks or existing binary
packages that were not created with a newer xbps-create(8).
- xbps_binpkg_pkgver() returns a heap allocated string with the pkgver component.
- xbps_binpkg_arch() returns a heap allocated string with the architecture component.
A basename, full path or relative path is supported, i.e:
/path/to/foo-1.0_1.x86_64.xbps
../../foo/blah-0.1_1.x86_64.xbps
baz-0.1_1.x86_64.xbps
The reason is that even if the pkg was not configured, it should still be accepted
as installed. If installing packages via XBPS_TARGET_ARCH, pkgs are never configured,
so this must be taken into account.
Will be cherry-picked to 0.37 meanwhile.
There was another case where it now was failing: "fs-utils-v1.00_1".
Previous code didn't take into account that a valid version might also
contain a non digit after '-'.
Added more tests to the testsuite to verify its correctness.
Make xbps_pkg_{name,version} return NULL if next character
after the last '-' character is not a digit, and if there's a digit
make sure that there exists a '_' character too.
Added more tests to the testsuite to catch this. With these changes
'python-e_dbus' is properly detected and validated.
