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.
