This basically started with this change :
/* Transaction */
struct __pmtrans_t {
- pmtranstype_t type;
pmtransflag_t flags;
pmtransstate_t state;
- alpm_list_t *packages; /* list of (pmpkg_t *) */
+ alpm_list_t *add; /* list of (pmpkg_t *) */
+ alpm_list_t *remove; /* list of (pmpkg_t *) */
And then I have to modify all the code accordingly.
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.
(I also fixed a typo in sync043.py)

This re-implements the --ask option which was removed in commit
1ff8e7f364.
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)

Sometimes "foo conflicts with bar" information is not enough, see this
thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=77647. That's why I added
a new reason field to our pmconflict_t struct that stores the packager-
defined conflict that induced the fact that package1 conflicts with
package2.
I modified the front-end (in callback.c, sync.c, upgrade.c) to print this
new information as well.

The main reason for this change is that scripts could not catch the removed
targets with -S --noconfirm (the return value was 0). So the effect of a
pacman command may have differed from the expected one. Moreover, for my
taste the default no answer is better (I wanted to install the specified
targets, not a subset of them).
I had to change some pactest files as well, because now the default behavior
is not to remove unresolvable targets. In fact, the only pactest file that
tested this feature was ignore005.py.

If the user switches from unstable repo to a stable one, it is quite hard to
sync its system with the new repo (the user will see many "Local is newer
than stable" messages, nothing more). That's why I introduced -Suu, which
treats a sync package like an upgrade, iff the package version doesn't match
with the local one's.
I added a new pactest (sync104.py) to test this, and I updated the
documentation of -Su.

This fixes FS#14899. When running an -Sp operation without servers
configured for a repository, we would segfault, so add an assert to the
backend method returning the first server preventing a null pointer
dereference.
In addition, add a new error code to libalpm that indicates we have no
servers configured for a repository. This makes -Sy and -S <package>
operations fail gracefully and helpfully when a repo is set up with no
servers, as the default mirrorlist in Arch is provided this way.

pmsyncpkg_t data sructure was removed:
1. pmpkg_t.reason is used instead of pmsyncpkg_t.newreason. (The target
packages come from sync repos, so we can use this field without any
problems. Upgrade transaction also uses this field to store this info.)
2. pmsyncpkg_t.removes was moved to pmpkg_t.removes.
This step requires careful programming, because we don't duplicate packages
when we add them to trans->packages. So we modify sync pkgcache when we
add this transaction-only info to our package. Hence it is important to
free this list when we remove any package from the target list
(remove_unresolvable, remove_conflicts, trans_free), otherwise this could
confuse the new sync transactions (with non-pacman GUI).
Overall, our code became ~100 line shorter, and we can call our helper
functions directly on trans->packages in sync.c, we don't need to maintain
parallel package lists.

Enabled a new prompt to ask the user if they'd like to remove
unresolvable packages from the transaction rather than failing it.
Many pactest tests that used to fail now return success codes, because
pacman now issues a prompt allowing the user to cancel rather than
failing many transactions, and the pactest scripts always choose to
cancel with no error rather than failing. The only net effect is that
the return status of pacman is now 0 in cases where it used to be
nonzero.

The HoldPkg feature is even more important when the packages to be held are
pulled automatically by pacman, in a -Rc and -Rs operation. Before, it only
applied when the packages were explicitly requested by the user to be
removed. This patch extends holdpkg to -Rc and -Rs by doing the HoldPkg
check just before trans_commit.
Additionally, the whole HoldPkg stuff was moved to the front-end.
