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.
Wildcard matching with no names should match all packages only for
info and search applet. "apk del" would otherwise try to delete
everything, etc.
Fix also interactive mode to ask questions only if we are actually
changing something.

Instead of:
ERROR: Index generation failed: Success
The following is now printed:
ERROR: Metadata for package timo-1.0-r0 is too long.
ERROR: Index generation failed: No buffer space available
make cache a special kind of repository, and automatically cache
special packages (virtual packages, or ones installed from command
line). add test cases for handling virtual packages. fixes#1617.
fchmodat does not support this flag - symlinks do not have permissions.
Sysadmin probably does not expect us to not follow symlinks either:
if /var -> /mnt/foo/var, we should be making sure the permissions
and ownership is correct on the target directory, not on the symlink.
Since fchmodat never returned ENOENT with AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW, this
also fixes directory re-creation if it does not exist. fixes#1348.
If a directory has protection mask, but does not exist in db, we
do not handle it right unless we calculate the protection mask by
hand, or create temporary db dir entry for it. For simplicity create
always the db dir entry -- depending on audit type we likely need
to create it anyway. This commit also caches the db dir entry in the
audit tree context to avoid duplicate lookups. ref #1241.
fixes#607.
audit is now mostly rewritten for the new functionality. And
has new features like --check-permissions, --recursive and
--packages.
$ROOT/etc/apk/protected_files.d/*.list can now contain additional
protected paths, one path per line:
+etc
@etc/init.d
-tmp
+ will include the directory as protected configuration directory.
@ considers the directory protected, but will backup only symlinks.
- removes any protection
lbu should be modified to put include and exclude paths in
etc/apk/protected_files.d/lbu.list. Additionally, some packages
might provide their own listings.
E.g. ssh might want to provide ssh.list with something like:
+root/.ssh
+home/*/.ssh
It is faster to just scan the cache directory for existing packages
at startup than trying to faccessat() them on demand. It also makes
quite a few parts of the code more readable and simpler.
* solver internally calculates now using tags; not repository masks
* installeddb now contains the tag name where the package came from
-> we can now handle upgrades properly
* the pinning is still a preference, and not strictly enforced;
versioned dependencies may overrule preference
