This segfault creeped in as a result of commit bf867003. We were incorrectly
assuming the group member of our package was a pmgrp_t list when in fact it
is just a string list, which caused a segfault on any -Qs operation.
Also slightly cleanup the -Ss code (which was originally correct unlike the
-Qs code).

As it was already mentioned several times, the new -Sc behavior in 3.1 is
great, but only when the package cache is not shared.
This option has two possible values : KeepInstalled and KeepCurrent
With KeepCurrent, -Sc will clean packages that are no longer available in
any sync db, rather than packages that are no longer in the local db. The
resulting behavior should be better for shared cache.

test_delta_md5sum and test_pkg_md5sum were simple wrappers to test_md5sum,
and only used once, so not very useful. I removed them.
Also, test_md5sum and alpm_pkg_checkmd5sum functions were a bit duplicated,
so I refactored them with a new _alpm_test_md5sum function in libalpm/util.c

Add a preset paramater to yesno function saying which answer should be the
default. Ref:
http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2007-June/008470.html
This allows us to answer no by default to some questions, like the -Scc one
mentioned in the above thread, and implemented by this patch.
Another advantage is that we don't have to repeat the [Y/n] in every
questions. It's only put once in yesno function. This highly reduces the
chances that YES and NO strings are translated, but not some questions,
which lead to obvious confusions.
Finally, the noconfirm variable only needs to be used in that yesno
function. So all other usages of it were removed.

This allows us to remove the sync_only flag, and also do the following
steps in the future :
1) refresh the database (if asked)
2) do other stuff (eg checking if a newer pacman version is available)
3) start the actual transaction
Currently when we detect a newer pacman version, we have to release the
current transaction and start a new one.

This feature (introduced by b118ce55bd as a
part of -Sc) could actually be helpful in the 3.0 -> 3.1 transition, because
all sync dbs will be left in /var/lib/pacman/, while the updated ones will
go to /var/lib/pacman/sync/.
So it'll now clean everything in /var/lib/pacman/, and only the unused
databases in /var/lib/pacman/sync/ (with the exception of local/ and sync/
in both cases).
Note: This feature is undocumented. I wonder if moving it to another option,
something like -S --dbclean, wouldn't help for documenting it.

* The frontend calls alpm_trans_prepare(&data), and in case of errors,
receive the missing dependencies / conflicts / etc in the data pointer.
It apparently needs to free this structure totally with :
alpm_list_free_inner(data, free)
alpm_list_free(data)
So I added alpm_list_free_inner(data, free) in
pacman/{sync.c,remove.c,add,c}
* in _alpm_sync_prepare, the deps and asked lists were not freed in case
of errors (unresolvable conflicts).
Besides the code for handling this case was duplicated.
* in _alpm_remove_commit, free was used instead of alpm_list_free for
newfiles.
* newline fix in pacman/sync.c

pmdepmissing_t was used for two totally different things :
missing dependencies, and dependency conflicts.
So this patch simply adds a type for dep conflicts,
and convert the code to use it.
This fix the TODO in conflict.c :
/* TODO WTF is a 'depmissing' doing indicating a conflict? */
Additionally, the code in conflict.c now eliminates the duplicated conflicts.
If pkg1 conflicts with pkg2, and pkg2 conflicts with pkg1, only one of them will be stored.
However the conflict handling in sync_prepare (sync.c) is still very asymetrical, and very ugly too.
This should be improved in the future (there is already a pending patch from Nagy that cleans it a lot).
Signed-off-by: Chantry Xavier <shiningxc@gmail.com>
The names related to conflicts are misleading :
For dependencies conflicts, the type is pmdepmissing,
and the function names contain just "conflict".
For file conflicts, the type is pmconflict,
and some functions contained just "conflict", some others "fileconflict".
So this is the first step for improving the situation.
Original idea/patch from Nagy, but the patch already didn't apply anymore,
so I did it again.
The main difference is that I kept the conflictype, with the following renaming :
pmconflicttype_t -> pmfileconflicttype_t
PM_CONFLICT_TYPE_TARGET -> PM_FILECONFLICT_TARGET
PM_CONFLICT_TYPE_FILE -> PM_FILECONFLICT_FILESYSTEM

21:30 stonecrest >> could be part of pacman -Sc.. what else were you thinking?
I already heard about this before, but it sounded dangerous to me. I didn't even think about a simple prompt.
I also didn't know where this code would fit. And it fits well with -Sc, I borrowed most of the code from sync_cleancache.

When the -Sy operation failed, the lock wasn't removed because
alpm_trans_release wasn't called. This is fixed now.
Also, after my last change in commit 52e7e6d747 ,
Sp didn't do anything anymore.
That's because needs_transaction returned false for -Sp, so the sync transaction
wasn't run. However, the current implementation of -Sp requires a sync transaction.
Also, since a transaction creates the lock file at the beginning, and releases it
at the end, this mean that -Sp requires root access anyway..
I think I understand now why Aaron found that the current -Sp implementation is hackish :)

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.

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

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.

instead of

and then using pm_errno in the implementation instead of err, could make it
