This unloads --force as several of the things are really not wanted
together. E.g. --force-refresh is a lot different from --force-broken-world
and doing --force to get the other might introduce unwanted behaviour.
--force is still kept for backwards compatibility and it enables
most things --force was used for.
This change just changes to keep deleted directory items in
the hash with ref count zero and modified flag set. Those entries
are reused when needed. The side effect is that fire_triggers()
will now see those removed direcotries and reports them. Other
enumerators of the directories hash are protected to skip removed
directories when appropriate.
Depending how the directory entries are ordered, the cached dir
instance might not have been updated correctly. This has not been
a problem as the entries have been ordered, but is now triggered
on ppc.

The original intention was not use unnecessary space on tmpfs
e.g. if the cache directory is a mount point, but accidentally
left unmounted. But there are valid cases when packages are
intentionally wanted to be cached on tmpfs. If caching is not
desired, the user can just remove the cache directory.
This allows for instance integration of etckeeper
[TT: Reorganized code a bit, and modified to use single
directory commit_hooks.d with argument for script of stage.]
Implement --no-cache. The index is read directly from network and not
cached. This is useful for docker, where you install a set of packages
and directly after purge the cache. (see
1fc9e59d16/builder/scripts/apk-install)
fixes#4905
preserve [am]time for all packages and indexes. this fixes the caching
error that 'apk update' is after new index is generated, but before
the used mirror is synchronized. this caused local apkindex timestamp
to be newer than file in mirror, when in fact it was outdated index.
this also fixes fetched files to have build timestamp so that files
going to .iso or custom images have proper timestamps (rsync with
appropriate --modify-window now works)
the problem is that var/lock is on root installs symlink to /run/lock
(on tmpfs) and does not exist if doing chroot() to that root. fixes
apk to work when chrooted to existing rootfs install.
resolve reverse dependencies after all packages have been loaded,
and avoid traversing the reverse name lists. now that we use
automatic virtual packages (soname, pkg-config, etc.) the reverse
dependency chains can become considerable longer than what it was
when the rdependency construction code was originally written.
the security implications are not as high as compared to regular
tar/unzip archiver. this is because you are anyway trusting
the package to install files anywhere in the filesystem.
this serves rather as a sanity to check against errors in created
package.
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"
Package pinning was first implemented with 'p' tag. However, it
was before any release renamed to 's', and 'p' was reserved for
package provides support for which is used now.
there are only few combinations for that triplet, and they
occur multiple times reducing the struct sizes a bit. make
sane defaults and prepare to not write defaults to disk
to reduce on-disk installed db size.
Apk used to reset directory permissions always, but this is undesirable
if user has modified the permissions - especially during tmpfs boot.
Though, it is desirable to update the permissions when packaging has
changed permissions, or a new package is installed and the merged
permission mask / owner changes.
Thus the new code updates the permissions only if:
1) We are booting and directory is not in apkovl
2) The directory is modified by a package install/remove/upgrade
3) The filesystem directory permission matched database
Additionally "apk fix --directory-permissions" can be used to reset
all directory permissions to the database defaults.
Fixes#2966
Allows one arch index files to refer to other arch packages. Mostly
useful with noarch packages, but could be used e.g. to ship build
with some of packages optimized for specific cpu generation and
share most packages with the standard build.
basically this makes packager's life simpler as there is no need
to list the subpkg names in replaces. this was also very error
prone and tedious job to do properly.
This implements a new protected path flag '!' to include always
matching entries in the backup mode (overlay). This is also turned
on for etc/apk to include everything there in overlay, because
the full list of repositories and signing keys need to be in
overlay - just getting them from a package is not enough during
bootstrap.
