2010-10-13Complete rework of package accessor logicDan McGee
Hopefully we've finally arrived at package handling nirvana, or at least this commit will get us a heck of a lot closer. The former method of getting the depends list for a package was the following: 1. call alpm_pkg_get_depends() 2. this method would check if the package came from the cache 3. if so, ensure our cache level is correct, otherwise call db_load 4. finally return the depends list Why did this suck? Because getting the depends list from the package shouldn't care about whether the package was loaded from a file, from the 'package cache', or some other system which we can't even use because the damn thing is so complicated. It should just return the depends list. So what does this commit change? It adds a pointer to a struct of function pointers to every package for all of these 'package operations' as I've decided to call them (I know, sounds completely straightforward, right?). So now when we call an alpm_pkg_get-* function, we don't do any of the cache logic or anything else there- we let the actual backend handle it by delegating all work to the method at pkg->ops->get_depends. Now that be_package has achieved equal status with be_files, we can treat packages from these completely different load points differently. We know a package loaded from a zip file will have all of its fields populated, so we can set up all its accessor functions to be direct accessors. On the other hand, the packages loaded from the local and sync DBs are not always fully-loaded, so their accessor functions are routed through the same logic as before. Net result? More code. However, this code now make it roughly 52 times easier to open the door to something like a read-only tar.gz database backend. Are you still reading? I'm impressed. Looking at the patch will probably be clearer than this long-winded explanation.

2010-06-21Clarify testing within conditional statementsAllan McRae
Follow the HACKING guidelines and always use != 0 or == 0 rather than negation within conditional statements to improve clarity. Most of these are !strcmp usages which is the example of what not to do in the HACKING document. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2009-10-11cygwin fix : use unsigned char for ctype functionXavier Chantry
See http://www.nabble.com/-PATCH-RFA--Distinguish-between-EOF-and-character-with-value-0xff-td23161772.html#a23188494 cygwin 1.7 actually displays a warning when using signed char with the ctype function, so that compilation fails when using -Wall -Werror. So we just cast all arguments to unsigned char. Signed-off-by: Xavier Chantry <shiningxc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2009-10-11int typing: s/unsigned short/int/ in libalpmDan McGee
After our recent screwup with size_t and ssize_t in the download code, I found the `-Wsign-conversion` flag to GCC to see if we were doing anything else boneheaded. I didn't find anything quite as bad, but we did have some goofups- most of our public unsigned methods would return -1 on error, which is a bit odd in an unsigned context.

2008-06-04Don't display filename on -Qip operation.Xavier Chantry
Some previous commits apparently broke the get_filename function for package loaded with pkg_load (on a -Qip operation) because this field was no longer filled. Now pkg_load fills it. But the -Qip operation needs to be run like this : -Qip <filename>, so the filename is already known. There is no need to display it again. Besides, on a normal -Qi operation, the filename is not displayed either because this information is not stored in the local database.

2008-05-11Refactor pkg_load/parse_descfile into a new backend fileDan McGee
alpm_pkg_load() and parse_descfile() are specific to getting information from package files, just as other code is specific to getting information into or out of a package database. Move this code out of package.c, which should eventually only contain operators on the pmpkg_t struct that do not depend at all on where the data came from.
