The old function was written in a time before we relied on it for nearly
every operation. Since then, we have switched to the archive backend and now
fast parsing is a big deal.
The former function made a per-character call to the libarchive
archive_read_data() function, which resulted in some 21 million calls in a
typical "load all sync dbs" operation. If we instead do some buffering of
our own and read the blocks directly, and then find our newlines from there,
we can cut out the multiple layers of overhead and go from archive to parsed
data much quicker.
Both users of the former function are switched over to the new signature,
made easier by the macros now in place in the sync backend parsing code.
Performance: for a `pacman -Su` (no upgrades available),
_alpm_archive_fgets() goes from being 29% of the total time to 12% The time
spent on the libarchive function being called dropped from 24% to 6%.
This pushes _alpm_pkg_find back to the title of slowest low-level function.

I've noticed my Atom-powered laptop is dog-slow when doing integrity checks
on packages, and it turns out our MD5 implementation isn't near as good as
that provided by OpenSSL. Using their routines instead provided anywhere
from a 1.4x up to a 1.8x performance benefit over our built-in MD5 function.
This does not remove the MD5 code from our codebase, but it does enable
linking against OpenSSL to get their much faster implementation if it is
available on whatever platform you are using. At configure-time, we will
default to using it if it is available, but this can be easily changed by
using the `--with-openssl` or `--without-openssl` arguments to configure.

This implements FS#15198. The idea apparently came from Csaba Henk
<csaba-ml <at> creo.hu> which submitted a patch to Frugalware, so thanks to
him, even though I did not look at the code :)
The idea is to only extract folders for new packages into the package
database and clean up the old directories. This is essentially implementing
Xyne's "rebase" script within pacman.
If using -Syy, just remove and extract everything.
If using -Sy :
1. Generate list of directories in DB
2. Generate list of directories in archive
3. Compare both
4. Clean up old directories
5. Extract new directories

This is the problem in libalpm/util.c:

Your example unstable.db.tar.gz is not empty. It has
one entry in it, called "./". That entry is marked
as a directory. But, when you call archive_entry_set_mode(),
you are changing the file type! archive_read_extract()
then creates the file /var/unstable as you requested.
(archive_read_extract() will replace an empty directory
with a file.)
You should either set the mode value correctly:
323 if(S_ISREG(st->st_mode)) {
324 archive_entry_set_mode(entry, IFREG | 0644);
325 } else if(S_ISDIR(st->st_mode)) {
326 archive_entry_set_mode(entry, IFDIR | 0755);
327 }
Or use archive_entry_set_perm(), which does not change
the file type:
323 if(S_ISREG(st->st_mode)) {
324 archive_entry_set_perm(entry, 0644);
325 } else if(S_ISDIR(st->st_mode)) {
326 archive_entry_set_perm(entry, 0755);

It is possible to throw EINTR from a system call such as open(), close(), or
waitpid() if custom signal handlers are set up and they are not initialized
with the SA_RESTART flag. This was noticed by Andreas Radke when ^C (SIGINT)
was given during the call to waitpid(), causing it to throw the EINTR error
and we could not accommodate it.
Simply wrap these calls in a simple loop that allows us to retry the call if
interrupted.

Using the graph structures that Nagy set up for dependency sorting, we now
do a similar process for deltas. Load up all of the deltas into a graph
object on which we can then apply Dijkstra's algorithm, using the new weight
field of graph struct.
We initialize the nodes weight using the base files that we can use in our
filecache (both filename and md5sum must match). The algorithm then picks
the best path among those that can be resolved.
Note that this algorithm has a few advantages over the old one:
1. It is completely file agnostic. These delta chains do not have to consist
of package files- this could be adopted to do delta-fied DBs.
2. It does not use the local_db anymore, or even care if a package or file
is currently installed. Instead, it only looks in the filecache for files
and packages that match delta chain entries.

By attempting to stat the cachedir when we load the pacman config, pacman
bails out if it is a non-existant directory, even if it will never be
needed. This is unfortunate as it is only used for sync transactions anyway.
Instead, wait until we need it in _alpm_filecache_setup to actually do
anything.
