This moves and isolates the tar code to tar.c. And the actual
file extraction to disk is moved to extract.c.
A new API is introduced and used for v2 file extraction. This
essentially moves and isolates the apk_sign_ctx_* beast into
extract_v2.c and offers a saner interface to handling packages.
A place holder is added for v3 extraction.
By introducing a new package metadata field, `provider_priority`
(index letter `k`), we can specify default packages to satisfy a
virtual.
If a user wishes to select an alternative provider for the virtual,
a changeset swapping the default provider for the selected provider
will be generated by the dependency resolver.
This is useful for requirements such as: python3=~3.6, which would match python3-3.6.[0-9].
This implementation should in theory be backwards compatible with the implementation in Adelie.
- self-conflicts when the exact same version of a name is provided
twice is now properly detected and diagnozed
- don't print redundant satisfies diagnostic
user xattrs on tmpfs are not supported no non-grsec kernels,
and many times root fs is mounted without user_xattr. Thus
to allow things to go smoothly on non-grsec kernels xattr
unsupported errors are now hidden.
xattrs can be fixed still now with "apk fix --xattrs"
Wildcard matching with no names should match all packages only for
info and search applet. "apk del" would otherwise try to delete
everything, etc.
Fix also interactive mode to ask questions only if we are actually
changing something.
So same package it is possible to not match same package multiple
times. Use generation count, so this is handled cleanly during
recursion, like in the use case of search applet.
Instead of the dependency oriented logic, switch to print them
for each package or name needed. Might give a bit more readable
errors now. There's still few corner cases that proper error is
not output, which are cought by the test cases.
make cache a special kind of repository, and automatically cache
special packages (virtual packages, or ones installed from command
line). add test cases for handling virtual packages. fixes#1617.
Solver will now never report partial solution where a conflict
constraint is not satisfied. The is because with --force we might
install the partial solution; and if conflicted packages were to
be installed we might have extra trouble.
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
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
If two packages replace each other, the one with highes priority
will keep the file. Additionally, if we have a package overriding
another's file it's remembered and handled properly. This is
essentially to allow "policy packages" which just overwrite certain
(configuration) files from other package(s).
"replaces" is now turned to a full dependency type list, so you can
make package overwrite files only certain versions of the package
(though, we should probably take this into account already at solution
calculation phase).
Also make 'info --replaces' print the "replaces" of the package.
This is in preparation for the policy package support, which still
requires "replacement priority" field to decide which packages' files
get the preference.
the only bit of information needed in solver commit is the "hard"
topology sorting information for trigger ordering. fixes a bug in
"apk del" which uses the state pointers to do intermediate
calculations between solution solving and commit.
* basic code for a backtracking, forward checking dependency satisfier
* works better when there are tricky dependencies to solve
(when can't just upgrade everything to most preferred versions)
* the new code always evaluates all of 'world' constraints
(old code just does incremental updates based on heuristics)
* is probably somewhat slower than old code (probably unnoticeable
difference in most cases)
* makes easier to write support for provides and repository pinning
* test applet and a bunch of test cases added which uses the new code
* from the old feature set install_if is not yet implemented
