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.
1- We can cache the result of the first xbps_pkgdb_init() when it fails
and avoid the malloc/free/access from it.
2- We cache the uname(2) result into a private var in xbps_handle and
use it in xbps_pkg_arch_match().
This improves performance by ~5% approx and it's close as it was before
introducing the repository index format 1.5.
The problem was that required package dependency was installed, but
the version didn't satisfy the requirement and the code unconditionally
assumed an updated existed in repository pool. Now the code checks
package state to set transaction reason.
- 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.
The replaces code now checks all package dictionaries in the
transaction dictionary, and the sorting algorithm will put packages
to be removed at the head of the tailq.
This should fix issue 11 in googlecode.
Now to find a virtualpkg set by the user in conf file, there is a new
function: xbps_repository_pool_find_virtualpkg(). Use it in some
places to make jpeg -> libjpeg-turbo (and other pkgs that can be
replaced with other virtual pkgs) work correctly even if installed
multiple times.
- 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.

prop_dictionary_t xbps_repository_pool_find_pkg(const char *pkg, bool bypattern, bool best)
This function iterates over the repository pool and returns a pkg
dictionary matching its pkgname if "bypattern" is false, otherwise
if "pkg" matches the pkgdep pattern. If "best" is true, it will look
in all repos and will return the newer version, otherwise the first one
that matches the arguments specified.
With this addition supporting many small registered repos is cheap, because
it checks by-package rather than by-package-list. This also helped to removed
some duplicated code and fix some rare bugs.
Bump XBPS_RELVER to 20110118.
- 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.
