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
