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.

Implement this seemingly simple change in package.h:
typedef enum _pmpkgfrom_t {
- PKG_FROM_CACHE = 1,
- PKG_FROM_FILE
+ PKG_FROM_FILE = 1,
+ PKG_FROM_LOCALDB,
+ PKG_FROM_SYNCDB
} pmpkgfrom_t;
which requires flushing out several assumptions from around the codebase
with regards to usage of the PKG_FROM_CACHE value. Make some changes where
required to allow the switch, and now the correct value should be set (via a
crude hack) depending on whether a package was loaded as an entry in a local
db or a sync db.
This patch underwent some big rebasing from Allan and Dan.

Clearly the old code was more elegant (NULL cache indicated "not loaded"),
but it had some drawbacks, so from now on we indicate the state of caches
explicitly.
Old drawbacks:
When we had an empty database (unstable), libalpm called db_populate after
every pkgcache access, because NULL pkgcache indicated "not loaded" state.
This is not a common case, but the same situation can happen with grpcache,
which is more problematic: If the user had a custom repo with no groups,
grpcache was always NULL. (grpcache is also loaded per database.) Thus
every get_grpcache call induced a load_grpcache operation, so the benefits
of grpcache was completely lost.

Commit 8240da6cb3ff95ad480efe3e1876104024398fae broke some alpm hierarchy
and introduced a new memleak (trans->packages was never freed in case of add
transaction, even if the transaction wasn't committed), so it is reverted
now.
We follow a different approach to reduce memory usage:
_alpm_db_add_pkgincache doesn't duplicate the whole package before adding
it to the cache, only the package name and version (INFRQ_BASE).
This method needs very small extra memory (compared to the reverted method),
and after transaction commit we use less memory than before (since the
big 'files' fields are not copied to cache), this is useful in GUIs.
Note: The old add_pkgincache was a bit broken, since pkg->origin wasn't
filled in correctly.

Commit 046003844739416ff6d168dd2dec76490adb0727 caused a regression when
rereading the pkgcache after updating the on-disk databases. A rewinddir
call was errantly removed.
Instead of replacing the call to rewindir, clean up this whole mess.
db_scan is used only once and with target == NULL so there was actually half
the code of db_scan which was unused. This is gone now and replaced by a
single new db_populate function.
Dan: add_sorted ended up being 3x slower than one msort at the end, so I
changed back to that. I also made one pointer variable const and merged this
whole patch with my original fix for the rewinddir issue.

We have some useless abstractions like an alpm_db_rewind function. I've read
somewhere that readdir() was the worst filesystem function call invented,
and what do we do? Add a wrapper around it. Kill this abstraction and move
some other things into be_files that should be there anyway because they
are so tied to how a files backend works.

Edit _alpm_db_add_pkgincache to not duplicate packages, because this is not
needed, is slower, and uses more memory. This made the max memory usage
during base reinstall go from 10.4MB to 9.7MB.

These used FUNCTION output level and not DEBUG, so I didn't catch them way
back when I removed those gettext calls. Remove them now (which exposed a
nice little memory access error elsewhere in the code). This should have a
slight speedup effect on the code too as we no longer have to make the
gettext call even when these messages aren't printed.

This allows us to remove the hack in the frontend where we added a newline
to everything coming out of the pm_printf functions, and instead let the
developer put newlines where they want them. This should be the last hangover
of that auto-newline stuff.

We were using a void *data element in pmpkg_t before, which is unsafe by its
nature of being untyped. Reimplement data as origin_data being a union that
can hold either a path to a package file or a pointer to a cache database,
and make the other necesary updates in the code to reflect this. See package.h
for details.

Add some 'const' keywords all over the code to make it a bit more strict on
what you can and can't do with data. This is especially important when we
return pointers to the pacman frontend- ideally this would always be
untouchable data.

the alpm strcmp operation which takes void* references.
* We had this great visibility patch, but never actually took advantage of
it. Added the right compile flag to make it work and added some more
SYMEXPORTs where necessary to have a successful compile.
|
|
|
|
reordering and adding ones that were forgotten (noticed when trying to
compile after reordering).
* Updated the HACKING file to include information on #include usage.
* print -> vprint in "making dir" function in pactest.
|
|
* Moved entirely to alpm_pkg_get_* accessors, to read data on demand
* Mostly removed the INFRQ_ parameters from outside the be_files backend (making
the backend more extensible in the long run)
* packages created from _alpm_db_scan now have the db and origin set (making
accessors actually work for these packages)
* removed _alpm_db_ensure_pkgcache
* totally revamped the _alpm_checkconflicts function, making it cleaner and
easier to read (and thus fix in the long run) - maintainable code ftw
NOTE: feel free to rename the functions... I couldn't think of anything better
* removed an extra loop in sync.c:find_replacements - no sense in looping over
an entire DB while strcmp'ing the name, when we have get_pkgfromcache
Other:
* package struct "license" -> "licenses"
* Created _alpm_sync_find (duplicate code in some places, find_pkginsync
* Minor const correctness changes along the way
* fixed a couple extra '/' pathing issues (non-issues really)
* removed a duplicate pkg_cmp function
|
|
allows for the same bit operators to be used across the board on pkg_get
operations.
* Changed name of INFRQ_NONE -> INFRQ_BASE to more clearly reflect what it
does (loads pkg name and version).
* Added a few missing things on package functions, such as SYMEXPORT and
ALPM_LOG_FUNC.
* Slight updates to pmenv to print 'pass' and 'fail' instead of 'passed' and
'failed'. Keeps output a bit more concise.
* Fixed a doxygen comment spelling error. :P
|
|
* Unified some functions names "package" -> "pkg" for consistency
* Removed the goofy 'faketarget' stuff used for dep testing
* Renamed alpm_pkg_isin -> alpm_pkg_find
* Renamed alpm_db_readpkg -> alpm_db_get_pkg
|
|
* Fixed conflict checking. I had mistakenly assumed that the transaction
packages were of type 'pmsyncpkg_t', but that is not the case. Reverted back
to pmpkg_t's and fixed some checking a bit.
* pactest results: PASSED = 71 (100.00%)
|
|
* Fixed a segfault in the conflict checking code
* Added an automatic failure in the case of -A/-U for a replacement of an
existing package. This requires a large amount of work and is postponed for
now. Example:
If ncmpc is installed, pacman -U /path/to/ncmpc-svn.pkg.tar.gz will fail
with and appropriate error message

properly
* Error when re-reading the DB for replacements, wrong info level
* Removed an duplicate debug message "checking for package replacements"
* Check ignorepkg for REAL upgrades...
* Properly check the NOSAVE flag
* some unlink_file (remove.c) cleanup
* fix indent level on handle.c
* Force libalpm paths to end with a '/' char
* Fixed 'target' looping in conflict.c (pmsyncpkg_t, not pmpkg_t)
* Added some debug output to cache and db scanning
** All pactest tests succeed again, yay **
|
|
* scan loops no longer abort on corrupt entries
* reloading a cache package (and discovering it corrupt) no longer prints 2 messages
and uses the pre-build "remove from package cache" function
NOTE: The TODOs in there are important for later w.r.t. cleaning up corrupt DB
entries but there are some logical complexities with doing so, so I'm holding
off for now.
|
|
* ALPM_LOG_FUNCTION macro and all the great work to add this macro everywhere
|
|
* alpm_list_is_in --> alpm_list_find
* alpm_list_is_strin --> alpm_list_find_str
* Flip parameters of both functions to be inline with rest of alpm_list.
First commit, woohoo.
|
|
* Added alpm_list_remove_node for single list node removal
* Proper error checking/output for failed db_read/db_write (missing files)
* Invalid packages (missing files) are now removed from the package cache
* -Qs and -Ss output now look the same
* config.rpath causes errors on one machine I had, so I added it to CVS
* Fixed a "clobbered memory" issue when installing groups - only the outer list
should be free'd, not the contained data

optimizations in order to make the code much more readable and
type-checkable. Every enum in the library now has it's own type that
should be used instead of the generic 'unsigned char'. In addition,
several #define statements dealing with constants were converted to

* some code cleanup
* removed duplicate (pm)list_display functions from pacman source
* misc code cleanup

_alpm_db_load_pkgcache: use mergesort to improve performance
|
|
* Accidental database read of a file-based package (whoops)
* Proper fetching of url-based -U or -A
Removed some newlines from _alpm_log calls, to make debug output more concise
|
|
* Furthered the "lazy caching" to force the pkgcache to read nothing
(INFRQ_NONE) by default. Anything requiring package data should now check
the infolevel of each package and attempt to update it. This could be
ironed out a bit more later (by using the front-end get_info function
* Switched to libfetch. Drastic changes to the download code and the callback
progress bar functions. Also fixed the return value of
_alpm_downloadfiles_forreal. Downloading now supports http, ftp, https, and
files urls, along with 'mtime's and numerous other fancy features from
libfetch.
|
|
* Removed the PMList typedef, in favor of the same naming scheme other
structs use 'pmlist_t'
* Added a time stamp on debug output, to make it more informational
* Moved alpm_db_register to _alpm_db_register, making the public function
not take a callback parameter
