I just moved the root path check out of needs_transaction, and put it directly
in pacman.c . I think this part is alright.
For the other problems, I thought about doing the transaction first, in a new
sync trans function, which will init and release a transaction. And then doing
the commands like -Ss / -Sl / -Sg / -Si.
The problem is that for commands like -Sys / -Syl / etc, only the refresh part
of the transaction should be done. So I had to introduce an ugly sync_only
hack.

The md5 routines are one of the chokepoints of libalpm (main chokepoint being
archive extraction). Although IO delay causes a lot of it, we can at least
inline some of the md5 stuff as we aren't that concerned about space and
eliminate quite a few function calls.

Packages and DBs now support using the UNIX epoch (seconds since Jan 1, 1970)
for use in builddate and installdate. This will only affect newly built
packages. Old existing packages with the text format are still supported, but
this is deprecated.
In the case of removal of text time support, this code will fail gracefully,
returning the start of the epoch for broken packages.

In most cases, we want to fully scan a package when we load it, which serves
as a integrity verification check. However, there are times when it is only
desired to read the metadata and nothing else, so allow the caller of pkg_load
to choose the behavior they need.
This pays big dividends in speeding up pacman cache cleaning functionality.

Partial cache cleaning was eliminated in a previous commit because it relied
on package naming conventions. Re-add it the correct way- we actually open
up each package in the cache and get a name and version out of it. If the
name and version match that of an installed package, keep it. If the package
is not installed or the version does not match the locally-installed version,
get rid of it.
This can easily be modified if some other heuristic of keeping and removing
packages is desired, or if we should clean out the cache dir of any files
that are not packages, etc.
The biggest current problem with this new approach- speed. Here is one run
on my local machine, going from 1643 to 729 packages in the cache (753 in
the local DB):
real 4m25.829s
user 3m22.527s
sys 0m6.713s
This is likely best addressed by the package loading scheme, which may be
loading the entirety of each package archive, which is a waste when we only
need the .PKGINFO file read.

Previously, package names must match a specified scheme or they will cause
pacman add operations to fail. This is not a very intelligent or necessary
way to act, so remove the dependency on the name of the package to be
installed and read all relevant information from the metadata instead.
This does have one causality to be addressed later- pacman cache cleaning
functionality, which has never been phenomenal, just lost most capability.

As seen with the recent upgrade of pacman and the removal of the
pacman.d/current mirrorlist, files that were formerly in the backup array
get deleted upon their removal, which could be dangerous. Instead, we should
use the combined backup array of the old and new package. This fix should
address this issue in a relatively straightforward way.
In addition, old files should be moved to pacsave locations as expected.

That is the problem mentioned by Nagy there (with suggestions for fixing it) :

If a dependency conflicts with a local package and has to replace it,
the PM_SYNC_TYPE_DEPEND information is lost, and the resulting install

remove048 is the case mentioned there (fails in 3.0 but works in 3.1) :

It's the same as remove046 with -R instead of -Rc.
sync060 is a case reported this morning on IRC :
a pacman -Su wanted to replace gensplashutils by gensplash,
but pacman said gensplashutils was required by initscripts-gensplash,
while initscripts-gensplash was not even installed.
This is also fixed in the current 3.1 code though.

When calling a function of the alpm_option_get_* group, you get a segfault
if you don't call alpm_initialize() first. With this patch those functions
set pm_errno to PM_ERR_HANDLE_NULL and return an error value if handle ==
NULL.

My two previous hacks related to this part
(8038190c7c and
b15a5194d1) were caused by the lack of
understanding of a feature introduced a while ago:
Better control over CTRL-C interruptions -- do not leave the DB in an
inconsistent state (54008798ef).
Now I have been looking at this commit, and the added feature is indeed
interesting. The main problem I had with it is that it does a rather
unusual use of alpm_trans_release, which caused a few problems that I tried
to fix in a weird way. I think these problems were caused by the fact that
there weren't any difference between "interrupt transaction" and "release a
transaction which failed" actions from the alpm_trans_release POV. So I
decided to add a new function instead, alpm_trans_interrupt, which is
called on Ctrl+C, and which only sets trans->state to STATE_INTERRUPTED so
that remove_commit and add_commit can exit cleanly at a safe moment. This
allowed me to revert my two previous hacks as well.
Also ensure we handle SIGINT correctly in all cases- if a transaction is
not ongoing, then we can free the transaction and exit quickly.

I'm currently working on python bindings for alpm written in pyrex. While
working i found that declaring alpm_strerror as
char * alpm_strerror (void)
instead of
char * alpm_strerror (int err)
and then using pm_errno in the implementation instead of err, could make it
more bindings-friendly.
Dan: cleaned up and added void to declaration. Instead of replacing existing
function, add a new function called 'alpm_strerrorlast(void)'.
