The list applet provides a convenient way of inspecting both the available
and installed package databases by listing their contents. In some ways,
it is similar to `apk search` but is considered to be a superset of
`apk search` functionality.
A few `apk list` criterion are not yet ready though, such as `apk list --depends`
which searches by runtime dependency (replacing `apk info --rdepends`).
This modifies apk cache for indexes to be automatically refreshed
periodically without explicit 'update' or '--update-cache' usage.
The default is to do if-modified-since request if the local copy
is older than 4 hours. This age can be changed with --cache-max-age.
Using --update-cache will change this age to 60 seconds to make
sure the cached copy is relatively new. The small age is in order
to try to avoid downloading indexes second time when apk-tools is
upgraded and apk re-execs after self-upgrade.
Accordingly using explicitly 'apk update' will now enforce
--force-refresh and request the very latest index by requesting
any potential http proxy to do refresh too.
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 flag skips running hook scripts
This flag *must* be used during initramfs tmpfs initial install.
The reason that this new flag is needed is that the hooks will currently
always fail as musl and /bin/sh is missing at this stage on diskless.
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.
In discovery phase, there was logic to not process packages
multiple times. However, that logic failed to account the package's
depth and install_if state for the name being processed. This
caused install_if processing failure in certain topologies of the
dependency graph. Adds also a test case that should catch this
issue reliably.
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 fixes package selection when a 'real' package exists, but would
need to be provided by another package with 'virtual provides'.
In current package database this can happen with postgresql which is
also provided by postgresql-bdr. Normally postgresql would be satisfied
by postgresql, but if any package depends on postgresql-bdr and there's
no versioned dependency on postgresql this will help apk figure out
that postgresql-bdr should be used.
X509_check_host() is introduced in libressl-2.5.0 and openssl-1.0.2
which are not yet universally available. Add support for building
against the older versions.
loosely based on the freebsd implementation, implement https
connection settings to override CA, and use client certificate.
new files supported in /etc/apk/:
ca.pem - if exists, it contains CAs acceptable for https
(otherwise system wide CAs are used)
crl.pem - if ca.pem is used, this is the (optional) CRL for it
cert.pem - used as client authentication certificate (+ key)
cert.key - used as client key (can be also inside cert.pem)
