Improves /etc/apk/repositories format so you can say:
http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v2.3/main
@edge http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main
@testing http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing
After which you can pin dependencies to these tags using:
apk add stableapp newapp@edge bleedingapp@testing
Apk will now by default only use the untagged repositories,
but adding a tag to specific dependency:
1. will prefer that tag for the name
2. allowing pulling in dependencies from that tag (though,
it prefers untagged packages to satisfy deps if possible)
fixes#575
If two packages replace each other, the one with highes priority
will keep the file. Additionally, if we have a package overriding
another's file it's remembered and handled properly. This is
essentially to allow "policy packages" which just overwrite certain
(configuration) files from other package(s).
"replaces" is now turned to a full dependency type list, so you can
make package overwrite files only certain versions of the package
(though, we should probably take this into account already at solution
calculation phase).
Also make 'info --replaces' print the "replaces" of the package.
This is in preparation for the policy package support, which still
requires "replacement priority" field to decide which packages' files
get the preference.
The array struct aligned size to 64 bit on x86_64 which caused bad things
to happen.
We use size_t to make sure the size element is correct regardless arch.
Solution found by Timo.
allow per-name solver flags to be inheritable, and use them in
self-upgrade, add -u and the fix applet. this gives more familiar
behaviour for the upgrades.
the only bit of information needed in solver commit is the "hard"
topology sorting information for trigger ordering. fixes a bug in
"apk del" which uses the state pointers to do intermediate
calculations between solution solving and commit.
Allow to select packages that conflict in case we are looking for
errors. This allows 'add --force' to install (on boot) the set of
packages with minimum conflicts.
* each package name has two sorting positions, one which causes
install_if triggers to be run, and other for bulk dependencies
* fix also inverted ordering of package installations
* the solver no longer does look-ahead locking of names
(could be possibly optimized later); instead names are now
always ordered strictly to properly detect the package names
which are unsolveable
* basic error tests added, so we can see the most likely problem
in dependencies easily
