fixes#607.
audit is now mostly rewritten for the new functionality. And
has new features like --check-permissions, --recursive and
--packages.
$ROOT/etc/apk/protected_files.d/*.list can now contain additional
protected paths, one path per line:
+etc
@etc/init.d
-tmp
+ will include the directory as protected configuration directory.
@ considers the directory protected, but will backup only symlinks.
- removes any protection
lbu should be modified to put include and exclude paths in
etc/apk/protected_files.d/lbu.list. Additionally, some packages
might provide their own listings.
E.g. ssh might want to provide ssh.list with something like:
+root/.ssh
+home/*/.ssh
It is faster to just scan the cache directory for existing packages
at startup than trying to faccessat() them on demand. It also makes
quite a few parts of the code more readable and simpler.
* solver internally calculates now using tags; not repository masks
* installeddb now contains the tag name where the package came from
-> we can now handle upgrades properly
* the pinning is still a preference, and not strictly enforced;
versioned dependencies may overrule preference
* upgrade needs explicit check so we don't try self-upgrade
(which would print additional messages on screen)
* add can fix problems, so check against the new world
* merge the code in few places
Improves /etc/apk/repositories format so you can say:
http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v2.3/main
@edge http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main
@testing http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing
After which you can pin dependencies to these tags using:
apk add stableapp newapp@edge bleedingapp@testing
Apk will now by default only use the untagged repositories,
but adding a tag to specific dependency:
1. will prefer that tag for the name
2. allowing pulling in dependencies from that tag (though,
it prefers untagged packages to satisfy deps if possible)
fixes#575
This applet can be used to generate data for graphviz tools.
Useful to visualize package dependencies, and possible errors
in the repository.
Usage examples:
apk dot gnome-desktop | tred | dot -Tpng gnome-desktop.png
-- to generate simplified dependency chart of gnome-desktop
apk dot --errors | dot -Tpng index-errors.png
-- to generate chart visualizing dependency errors in index
Parse install_if from package metadata and include it in the
indexes. Also setup the reverse install_if dependencies when
loading a database. ref #443.
Actual install_if functionality is not yet implemented.
Just disable installation of packages using the new stuff. Also
flag lower case package info fields as non-critical and allow
installation even if that features is not supported.
- implement a hash table for commonly shared fields such as
license, version and architecture
- use macroes to print blobs or pkgname-pkgver strings
- fix some old cruft
The hash is 'unsigned long' everywhere which is 64-bits (on 64-bit
boxes). Fix the one instance of it being 'unsigned int' since that
would be 32-bit and cause lookup failures on 64-bit boxes.
this makes the database package entry smaller, and we propbably
get more fields to installed_package later too. this cleans up
the way scripts are stored and is a preparation for supporting
triggers. some parsing for trigger meta-data. ref #45.
this way we never change cwd, and relative filenames are always
parsed consistently. this also helps filename construction in many
places. this patch also changes '--root' to override location of
all configuration to be in the new root. previously it depended
on the file which one was used.
change the index generation to do old index, or the new style index
where package identity is sha1 of control block and it's contained
within an .tar.gz to allow signing in future.
If /etc/apk/cache is a symlink to directory, a copy of all installed
packages is stored there, and the index of remote repositories will
be there instead of /var/lib/apk. This enables to reconstruct running
system during boot.
Left as todo: remove cached copy when the package is removed, and
additional apk applet to download missing packages to cache and/or
remove extra items.
implements 'apk add --virutal metaname dep1 dep2...' where metaname will
be an empy meta package with dep1 and dep2 as dependencies.
This is useful to prevent abuild to add each makedepend to world which
causes some headache when it comes to unintalling them after sucessful build.
The syntax is: apk index -d /path/to/APK_INDEX.gz pkg...
It does not seem like its possible to remove packages in the db so we
trick apk_db_index_write() by setting the repo to on-zero.
It's still not perfect since it does not recalculate the dependencies.
This allows you to query the state db even if you do not have write
permissions in cache dir (which is needed if you have remote repositories)
This should speed up things and save some memory if you have big and slow
remote repositories.
Calculate changesets directly by stabilizating the package graph instead of
recalculating the whole graph and then diffing (similar approach as seen
in 'smart' package manager). The algorithm is not complete: defferred
search space forking is missing. So you don't always get a solution on
complex graphs.
Benefits:
- usually the search state tree is smaller (less memory used)
- speed relational to changeset size, not database size (usually faster)
- touch only packages related to users request (can work on partitially
broken state; upgrades only necessary packages, fixes#7)
Also implemented:
- command prompt to confirm operation if packages are deleted or downgraded
- requesting deletion of package suggests removal of all packages depending
on the package being removed (you'll get list of packages that also get
removed if you want package X removed)
- option --simulate to see what would have been done (mainly for testing)
- an untested implementation of versioned dependencies and conflicts
A lot has changed, so expect new bugs too.
This will be used later by the commit change calculator (for improved
changeset calculation, ref #7). Will be also used by "apk info" to show
reverse dependencies or "required by" information.
Ignore /etc/apk/repositories, so additional repositories that depend
on other repositories need to have explicit --repository reference on
command line when generating the index (to avoid warnings).
Currently only implement --backup to get list of (config) files in
protected directories to backup.
This also fixes a database corruption bug in database.c.
Checksum of installed is computed on the fly when extracting them
and it'll be saved to fdb. When installing config files those are
diverted with suffix .apk-new if earlier version of same file with
local changes exist.
