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.
Those are a wrapper around xbps_{array,dictionary}_internalize_from_zfile()
that prints a debugging msg when the plist file cannot be internalized.
Update xbps to use these wrappers.
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).
- Simplify xbps_repo_open::repo_get_dict().
- Use xbps_end() in the utils where necessary.
- Make xbps_end() call xbps_pkgdb_unlock() if necessary.
- Make xbps_end() release rpool resources.
- Make xbps_end() release resources from xbps_handle.
- Fixed 90% of reported leaks (still reachable at exit) from valgrind.
That was to silence valgrind's memcheck with --leak-check=full.
- Rather than using a POSIX named semaphore use a POSIX lock (lockf(3))
for pkgdb for writers. Writers that cannot acquire the pkgdb lock will
get EAGAIN rather then being blocked.
- Due to using a file lock we cannot write the pkgdb every time a package
is being unpacked, configured or removed. Instead pkgdb is only written
at the end of a specific point in the transaction (unpack, configure, remove)
or via xbps_pkgdb_unlock().
