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.
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.
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 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_repository_pool_find_pkg in best match case, now returns the
newest package version available in rpool.
- Added xbps_repository_pool_find_pkg_exact that returns a package
by exact matching a pkgver.
- Removed xbps_handle_alloc(), the user is free to use memory
allocated from heap or stack.
- Improved API documentation in preparation for 0.12.
Bumped XBPS_API_VERSION again.
- 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
- 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.

rename : LICENSE => COPYING
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.
--HG--
rename : lib/regpkgs_dictionary.c => lib/regpkgdb_dictionary.c
- 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.
