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.
When adding packages to the index, xbps-rindex will check if the
consistency of shlibs is broken by a package. If so, rindex will create
a stage file and commit the packages there. Once the consistency is restored,
rindex -a will commit the stage area back to the public repo and delete the
stage file.
We use a simple file lock that is created with O_CREAT|O_EXCL.
This should fix the concurrency issues with multiple processes
running xbps-rindex -a/-c on the same repository/arch combo.
If xbps_repo_open() was called with the lock arg set, xbps_repo_close()
will now unlock the repo file lock, without the need to set it.
This avoids the need to always unlock the file lock even if it wasn't
locked previously. This also introduceds an ABI/API break, but this
way it's cleaner.
- 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.
In some tasks the single threaded implementation outperms the multithreaded
one. Use it where it really makes a difference. The _multi() routines do not
spawn any thread if _SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN == 1.
Bump XBPS_API_VERSION.
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_.
