To put a package on hold mode:
$ xbps-pkgdb -m hold foo
To unhold the package:
$ xbps-pkgdb -m unhold foo
To list packages on hold mode:
$ xbps-query -H
This also close#12 from github.
This routine will spawn a thread per core to process N items stored
in the specified array, the last thread gets the remainder of items left.
Results have shown that xbps benefits if there is a considerable amount
of items and number of threads being spawned.
Use it in xbps_pkgdb_foreach_cb(), xbps-pkgdb(8), xbps-query(8)
and xbps-rindex(8).
On UP systems there's no overhead because pthread(3) is not used at all.
WIP! investigate if it can be used in libxbps (xbps_rpool_foreach()),
and finish conversion of xbps-rindex(8) -c.
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.
xbps-fetch and xbps-pkgdb in one utility.
Bump XBPS_RELVER to 20091124-1.

Also always build the static bins so that it's done in one pass,
that means that objects are PIC and built with SSP.

dependencies, as specified in blueprint "improved-version-matching".
It's possible now to require greater, greater or equal than,
less, less or equal than, and equal pkg versions, as well as using
'{}' and '[^!]' csh patterns in dependencies.
Code lifted from FreeBSD, thanks! :-)
Change XBPS_RELVER to 20091107 to match latest additions.

Updated README to note the new requirements for it. It will be used
to reduce the number of dependencies when building packages in
the chroot.
