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.
move all files therein to other places. this allows /var to be
mounted from harddisk, but rest of system be run from ramdisk.
this also removes support for historical version of the scripts
database which was obsoleted in 2.0_pre16 (in July 2009).
Packages without architecture should get the platforms default
architecture (so we are backwards compatible). Only the virtual
packages should get 'noarch' by default. Also print full path
to the index file which failed.
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
We want remove dirs when they are unreferenced so we remove all dirs on
apk del, but we don't want remove dirs when closing database. So we make
removing dir optional when unreferencing it.
This partially reverts commit c7ffc96a16.
fixes#406
The triggers are read during apk_db_unpack_pkg(). If we delete the
triggers list after then unpack we delete the triggers which is not
what we want.
This fixes bug introduced in ce3cf8bff9
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.
