Add also some testing to make sure help, long help and handling
of invalid arguments works as expected.
Based on pull request #19 originally by Laurent Arnoud (@spk).
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 makes 'lbu diff' and aaudit diffs nice when a world
dependency is added or removed. sorting also makes the ordering
more deterministic as the world targets constraints are always
applied in the same order. test suite updated accordingly.
This makes sure any conflicted packages will be removed first.
Useful if we know there are conflicting files, and want to avoid
adding potentially harmful replaces line. Add a test case for
this too.
Select latest version of package (if it is not pinned), and print
error if it cannot be installed due to other dependencies.
Together with --available, it selects the latest package which is
present at least in some repository.
This also fixes few solver issues with ordering of package selection
that got quite apparent with this flag. Namely, we cannot "lock"
a package until it's reverse dependencies are locked or not all of
the solver flags are propagated properly.
the pinning11 changed when @repo got the leading @ on error messages.
analyze_dep() now properly ignores conflict dependencies, as those
names are usually intentionally left unassigned.
Instead of the dependency oriented logic, switch to print them
for each package or name needed. Might give a bit more readable
errors now. There's still few corner cases that proper error is
not output, which are cought by the test cases.
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.
