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.
Solver will now never report partial solution where a conflict
constraint is not satisfied. The is because with --force we might
install the partial solution; and if conflicted packages were to
be installed we might have extra trouble.
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
"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.
When package is installed from commandline, we should always
install that specific instance of package (never favor repository
version if it has difference identity). Otherwise we might not
always end-up installing the .apk given on command line. The
dependency is now against specific checksum identity (marked
with >< dependency comparison). Fixes#492.
- implement a hash table for commonly shared fields such as
license, version and architecture
- use macroes to print blobs or pkgname-pkgver strings
- fix some old cruft
Instead of having a null pointer, use a dummy array which just
says the array is empty. This helps in multiple places of the code
which would otherwise need explicitly need to check first if the
array exists. This has been cause of multiple seg.faults in the
past as the array check is easily omitted.
This also removes (or fixes) all existing checks accordingly.
this makes the database package entry smaller, and we propbably
get more fields to installed_package later too. this cleans up
the way scripts are stored and is a preparation for supporting
triggers. some parsing for trigger meta-data. ref #45.
