Commit 8428367285 introduced the regression,
and a previous commit introduced the vercmptest.sh test script to track down
these issues. This commit solves the problem by removing the previous
attempt at locating the pkgrel portions and replacing it with something that
performs the correct logic.
While tracking down everything I needed to, I also found a mistake in one of
the pactests which is fixed here as well as increased the functionality and
verbosity of the vercmptest script to both print out each test it is running
as well as automatically run the mirror of each test case.

This code hasn't been looked at in some time. I grabbed a more recent
version of the RPM source (4.4.2.3) and attempted to sync up any changes
they have made, as well as make the libalpm additional code much cleaner and
limited to only a few added lines of code.
The size of this patch might make you think we added code, but bloat-o-meter

If we have a package without name and/or version, we are really out of luck.
Speed these functions up by removing unnecessary code. Note that both the
splitname and pkg_load functions, where the name and version of packages are
initially populated for databases and pkg.tar.gz files respectively, enforce
that every new package struct created has a name and version.

This commit actually get rids of all complicated and asymmetric _cmp
functions. I first thought these functions were worth it, be caused it
allowed us to reuse list_find and list_remove. But this was at the detriment
of the clarity and also the ease of use of these functions, dangerous
because of their asymmetricity.

alpm_pkg_load() and parse_descfile() are specific to getting information
from package files, just as other code is specific to getting information
into or out of a package database. Move this code out of package.c, which
should eventually only contain operators on the pmpkg_t struct that do not
depend at all on where the data came from.

Reference : FS#9547.
The get_filename function first tries to get the filename field from the
database, and if it doesn't find it, it tries to guess it based on the name,
version and arch.
This field was introduced in 3.0, but there are still many old entries in
the official databases without it. So the databases need to be regenerated
first before this patch can be applied.
There is a second problem with the delta code, which needs the filename for
locally installed packages too, but this field is not present in the local
db. So the delta code needs to be fixed first.

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.

With the addition of the archive_fgets() function, we can now skip the temp
file usage in pkg_load/parse_descfile that was not needed. This has a nice
benefit of probably being both faster, reducing code, and getting rid of
"expensive" file operations.

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

This is the first step of fixing FS#9547. This should not break any existing
code that may rely on this function behaving the way it did, and should be

In addition, update pactest so it fills the FILENAME field in the DB entries
it creates so we can move forward with a real fix to this issue.

_alpm_pkgname_pkg_cmp(pkgname, pkg) returns true iff pkg's name is pkgname.
This is useful if you want to remove a package from pmpkg_t* list, and you
want to search for package name.
This allows cleaning the -Ru code a bit, by removing the need of a dummy
pkg.

The deptest code (pacman -T) used by makepkg was mostly in the frontend.
There were 2 drawbacks:
1) the public splitdep function returns a pmdepend_t struct, but the
_alpm_dep_free function for freeing it is private. So there was a memleak.
2) there is a helper in the backend (satisfycmp in deps.c) which makes this
function much easier.
So this adds a new public alpm_deptest in libalpm/deps.c, which cleans
pacman_deptest in pacman/deptest.c a lot.
Besides, alpm_splitdep was made private, because the frontend no longer
requires it, and _alpm_dep_free is also private.
Finally the deptest001 pactest was extended.

We didn't have a free function before, causing some memory leaks. We also

This also affects all structures with static strings, such as depmiss,
conflict, etc. This should help a lot with memory usage, and hopefully make
things a bit more "idiot proof".
Currently our pactest pass/fail rate is identical before and after this
patch. This is not to say it is a perfect patch- I have yet to pull valgrind
out. However, this should be quite safe to use in all situations from here
on out, and we can start plugging the memleaks.

This is something pacman can do on its own straight from the archive, and we
will reduce the chance of problems occurring becuase of inproper FILELIST
generation as we have had in the past with special characters in filenames.
Once we remove it from makepkg. we can remove any usage of it from all of
our other tools, including pacman, pactest, and contrib/ utilities.
Note that removing it from pacman uncovered a few other bugs anyway, so this
was probably a good move.

If /tmp was full during the early stages of package extraction, we were
unable to extract the package description file with the call to
archive_read_data_into_fd(archive, fd) becuase we never checked the return
code. Add a check to ensure the extraction was successful and print and
return an error if it was not instead of falling through to a possibly
untrue error message.

Thanks to Allan for inspiring all this work on what was one little TODO item
in the codebase. :)
Change changelog handling so we can now dump a changelog from both installed
packages and package files (fixes FS#7371). We do this by moving all of the
machinery to the backend where it should have been in the first place.
The changelog reading is now done through a open/read/close interface
similar to the fopen/fread/fclose functions (can you guess how it is done?).
It is buffered by the frontend, so programs using the library can read as
much or as little as they want at a time.
Unfortunately, I could not implement a changelog_feof function due to some
shortcomings of libarchive. However, I left the stub code in there,
commented out, in case it becomes possible later or anyone wants to take a
stab at it.

Holy inefficient batman! For a pacman -Qt operation (when we are using
compute_requiredby and not database entries), splitdep was being called ~1.3
million times on my local database. By splitting when we read the DB, we
drop this number to around 1700 and save a LOT of time in doing so (a 5x
increase in pacman -Qt speed here).
Note that the depends alpm_list_t in the package struct is no longer a
string list, but a list of pmdepent_t objects.

Instead of using the often-busted REQUIREDBY entries in the pacman database,
compute them each time they are required. This should help many things:

3. Ensure when we do use requiredby, it is always correct
4. Shrink the pmpkg_t memory overhead

Commit 47622eef4d introduced localized times
in the metadata by way of storing the UNIX epoch value instead of a hard
coded date string. However, it missed a few things:
* If we weren't in the C/POSIX/en_US locale, the date parsing would fail
as it tried to use the abbreviations of the locale being used. Fix this
by switching the LC_TIME value before we parse a date.
* We used ctime to print the date value, which is always the C locale
string. Instead, use strftime to print a localized date string.

These macros take the place of the common 4 or 5 line blocks of code we had
in most places that called malloc or calloc. This should reduce some code
duplication and make memory allocation more standard in libalpm.
Highlights:
* Note that the MALLOC macro actually uses calloc, this is just for safety
so that memory is initialized to 0. This can be easily changed in one
place.
* One malloc call was completely eliminated- it made more sense to do it
on the stack.
* The use of RET_ERR in public functions (mainly the alpm_*_new functions)
was standardized, this makes sense so pm_errno is set.

The code didn't match the following comment :
"A depends on B through n depends <=> A listed in B's requiredby n times"
It stopped at n=1 with a break.
I was surprised to see this case happens in real, that's how I noticed the
bug: wine depends on both freeglut and glut, while freeglut provides glut.
So when installing wine, the update_depends function listed wine twice in
freeglut's requiredby. But the compute_requiredby function (used when
installing freeglut, and used by testdb) listed wine only once in
freeglut's requiredby. That made testdb unhappy.

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

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.
