* Introduce -D, --databaseNagy Gabor2010-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The request of FS#12950 is implemented. On the backend side, I introduced a new function, alpm_db_set_pkgreason(), to modify the install reason of a package in the local database. On the front-end side, I introduced a new main operation, -D/--database, which has two options, --asdeps and --asexplicit. I documented this in pacman manual. I've created two pactests to test -D: database001.py and database002.py. Signed-off-by: Nagy Gabor <ngaba@bibl.u-szeged.hu> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

* Show 'Required By' in -Sii outputDan McGee2010-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | Just as we do in -Qi, we can compute required by information for sync database packages. The behavior seems sane; for a given package, the -Sii required by will show all packages in *any* sync database that require it. Implements FS#16244. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
* Strip extension off all package compression typesDan McGee2010-03-18

(or '.db.tar.') instead and suppress anything found from that point on. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

* callback.c : less magic progress barsXavier Chantry2010-03-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1 - Explain magic numbers 2 - There was a weird off by 1 mess in the progress bar. The code supposedly shared the width between 50 chars for text (textlen) and the rest for the progress bar (proglen = getcols() - textlen). But the code actually used textlen + 1 for the text and proglen - 1 for the progress bar (with haslen=1, the progress bar was actually empty), which was a bit confusing so I changed it.

* download: major refactor to address lingering issuesDan McGee2009-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sorry for this being such a huge patch, but I believe it is necessary for quite a few reasons which I will attempt to explain herein. I've been mulling this over for a while, but wasn't super happy with making the download interface more complex. Instead, if we carefully order things in the internal download code, we can actually make the interface simpler. 1. FS#15657 - This involves `name.db.tar.gz.part` files being left around the filesystem, and then causing all sorts of issues when someone attempts to rerun the operation they canceled. We need to ensure that if we resume a download, we are resuming it on exactly the same file; if we cannot be almost postive of that then we need to start over. 2. http://www.mail-archive.com/pacman-dev@archlinux.org/msg03536.html - Here we have a lighttpd bug to ruin the day. If we send both a Range: header and If-Modified-Since: header across the wire in a GET request, lighttpd doesn't do what we want in several cases. If the file hadn't been modified, it returns a '304 Not Modified' instead of a '206 Partial Content'. We need to do a stat (e.g. HEAD in HTTP terms) operation here, and the proceed accordingly based off the values we get back from it. 3. The mtime stuff was rather ugly, and relied on the called function to write back to a passed in reference, which isn't the greatest. Instead, use the power of the filesystem to contain this info. Every file downloaded internally is now carefully timestamped with the remote file time. This should allow the resume logic to work. In order to guarantee this, we need to implement a signal handler that catches interrupts, notifies the running code, and causes it to set the mtimes on the file. It then rethrows the signal so the pacman signal handler (or any frontend) works as expected. 4. We did a lot of funky stuff in trying to track the DB last modified time. It is a lot easier to just keep the downloaded DB file around and track the time on that rather than in a funky dot file. It also kills a lot of code. 5. For GPG verification of the databases down the road, we are going to need the DB file around for at least a short bit of time anyway, so this gets us closer to that.

* | Allow cache cleaning to process all cache directoriesDan McGee2009-09-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously we only looked at the first cache directory returned by the library. This allows us to look at all cache directories for cleaning. In addition, change the way we do a full (-Scc) cache cleaning operation. Instead of removing the parent directory, remove each package one-by-one as in the -Sc case.

* | Fully implement database lazy loadingDan McGee2009-09-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 34e1413d75 attempted to implement lazy loading of package databases. Although it took care of my main complaint (creating the database directory if it didn't exist), it didn't allow sync repos to be registered before alpm_option_set_dbpath() had been called. With this patch, we no longer compute the individual repository DB paths until necessary, allowing full lazy loading to work as intended, and allowing us to drop the extra setlibpath() calls from the frontend. This allows the changes introduced in a2cd48960 (but later reverted) to be added back in again. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After commit 0da96abc, pacman always asks user confirmation for -U, so it is more coherent to doing that for -R, too. Btw, most users use -Rs always, so they won't notice any change. In the old code the -Ru operation was forgotten: Though it is a not "dangerous" operation, but the target list can be changed by that, too. Non-interactive scripts should always use --noconfirm (unexpected questions can be asked by all transactions). [That's why we should always default to the safest answers.] I've also added a pkglist != NULL sanity check (because -Ru can empty target list in trans_prepare part).

* | Use sync.c for upgrade transaction prepare and commitNagy Gabor2009-09-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch utilizes the power of sync.c to fix FS#3492 and FS#5798. Now an upgrade transaction is just a sync transaction internally (in alpm), so all sync features are available with -U as well: * conflict resolving * sync dependencies from sync repos * remove unresolvable targets See http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2009-June/008725.html for the concept. We use "mixed" target list, where PKG_FROM_FILE origin indicates local package file, PKG_FROM_CACHE indicates sync package. The front-end can add only one type of packages (depending on transaction type) atm, but if alpm resolves dependencies for -U, we may get a real mixed trans->packages list. _alpm_pkg_free_trans() was modified so that it can handle both target types _alpm_add_prepare() was removed, we use _alpm_sync_prepare() instead _alpm_add_commit() was renamed to _alpm_upgrade_targets() sync.c (and deps.c) was modified slightly to handle mixed target lists, the modifications are straightforward. There is one notable change here: We don't create new upgrade trans in sync.c, we replace the pkgcache entries with the loaded package files in the target list (this is a bit hackish) and call _alpm_upgrade_targets(). This implies a TODO (pkg->origin_data.db is not accessible anymore), but it doesn't hurt anything with pacman front-end, so it will be fixed later (otherwise this patch would be huge). I updated the documentation of -U and I added a new pactest, upgrade090.py, to test the syncdeps feature of -U.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a conflict is detected, pacman asks if the user wants to remove the conflicting package. In many cases this is a bad idea. e.g. udev conflicts with initscripts (initscripts<2009.07). Remove initscripts [Y/n] This changes the query to [y/N]. The --noconfirm behavior has been also changed, because it chooses the default answer. Since the yes answer is more interesting in our pactests dealing with conflicts, I inserted '--ask=4' to all of them with one exception: sync042.py tests the no answer.

This option does not have to be exposed to the user (help,doc,etc), but is very very useful for pactest if we want to have more coverage there. This was rewritten in a smarter way, without code duplication. And with a different behavior : this option is now only used to inverse default behavior to questions. We still use bit operations based on the following struct : /* Transaction Conversations (ie, questions) */ typedef enum _pmtransconv_t { PM_TRANS_CONV_INSTALL_IGNOREPKG = 0x01, PM_TRANS_CONV_REPLACE_PKG = 0x02, PM_TRANS_CONV_CONFLICT_PKG = 0x04, PM_TRANS_CONV_CORRUPTED_PKG = 0x08, PM_TRANS_CONV_LOCAL_NEWER = 0x10, PM_TRANS_CONV_REMOVE_PKGS = 0x20, } pmtransconv_t; for each conv matched, the default answer is inversed. --ask 0 : all default answers are preserved --ask 4 : only conflict question is inversed --ask 63 : all questions are inversed (63 == 1+2+4+8+16+32) Signed-off-by: Xavier Chantry <shiningxc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
