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.
fixes#1476
Instead of:
ERROR: Index generation failed: Success
The following is now printed:
ERROR: Metadata for package timo-1.0-r0 is too long.
ERROR: Index generation failed: No buffer space available
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.
* 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.
Make indexer keep noise about errors that prevent index generation.
Detect certain errors in the APKs better. And also have the applet
return error in these scenarios.
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.
When package is installed from commandline, we should always
install that specific instance of package (never favor repository
version if it has difference identity). Otherwise we might not
always end-up installing the .apk given on command line. The
dependency is now against specific checksum identity (marked
with >< dependency comparison). Fixes#492.
- 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
Instead of having a null pointer, use a dummy array which just
says the array is empty. This helps in multiple places of the code
which would otherwise need explicitly need to check first if the
array exists. This has been cause of multiple seg.faults in the
past as the array check is easily omitted.
This also removes (or fixes) all existing checks accordingly.
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.
- extract everything as .apk-new and overwrite only after data
has been checksummed
- url construction fixes (to work with simple http servers)
- end of gunzip stream fixed
- remove oneshot digesting flag for now as it's usage was broken
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.
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.
