This allows you to query the state db even if you do not have write
permissions in cache dir (which is needed if you have remote repositories)
This should speed up things and save some memory if you have big and slow
remote repositories.
apk_db_add_repository does its own error reporting and does not set errno
reliable. This patch also tell which repository it failed to load the index
for rather than just say it failed to open "APK_INDEX.gz" which does not tell
much.
Tracks now probler header file dependencies and command line parameters
used to build files. E.g. changing CFLAGS rebuild all C-files. And changing
version rebuild now the files where it's used.
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.
This will be used later by the commit change calculator (for improved
changeset calculation, ref #7). Will be also used by "apk info" to show
reverse dependencies or "required by" information.
