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)

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 implements FS#13877. Add a new option "-Qk" which checks if all of the
files for a given package (or packages) are really on the system (i.e. not
accidentally deleted). This can be combined with filters and other display

varying levels of output.

FS#8905 is fixed. The front-end passes PM_TRANS_FLAG_NOLOCK to the back-end,
so it doesn't lock the database. That's why we don't need root anymore.
I reworked (and renamed) needs_transaction() accordingly. I also added
missing -Sc check there (for example, -Sci didn't print non-root error, but
pacman wanted to lock the database).

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.
I changed the default behavior to "don't remove", so I modified remove030.py
pactest as well.

* Change the return values to be more informative.
It was previously boolean, only indicating if a sync package was newer than
a local package.
Now it is a simple wrapper to vercmp, handling the force flag.
* Remove the verbose output from _alpm_pkg_compare_versions.
The "force" message is not so useful.
The "package : local (v1) is newer than repo (v2)" message can be moved to
-Su operation.
For the -S operation, it is better to have something like :
"downgrading package from v1 to v2"
* Don't display the "up to date -- skipping" and "up to date -- reinstalling"
messages, when the local version is newer than the sync one.
* Fix the behavior of --needed option to not skip a target when the local
version is newer, and clarify its description.

Add a new totaldlcb callback function to libalpm and make pacman utilize it
when the TotalDownload option is enabled. This callback function is pretty
simple- it is meant to be called once at the beginning of a "list download"
action, and once at the end (with value 0 to indicate the list has been
finished). The frontend is responsible for keeping track of adding
individual file download amounts to the total xfered amount in order to
display some sort of overall progress.

Add a new configure flag, --enable-git-version, that allows the output of
'git describe' to be used in the version string associated with this
package. This could aid in debugging for users that are using a development
version of pacman and we should be able to figure out which cut of code they
are using.
Sample output:
$ pacman --version

$ makepkg --version

This patch offers a way to fix FS#9228.
By putting "SyncFirst = pacman" in pacman.conf, the version check will
happen before the transaction really starts, and before any replacements is
made.
Otherwise, no version check is done.
The sync301 pactest was updated to use this SyncFirst option.
Example session with SyncFirst = pacman, and a newer pacman version
available :
$ pacman -Su (or pacman -S <any targets>)
:: the following packages should be upgraded first :
pacman
:: Do you want to cancel the current operation
:: and upgrade these packages now? [Y/n]
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
Targets: pacman-x.y.z-t
Total Download Size: x.xx MB
Total Installed Size: x.xx MB
Proceed with installation? [Y/n] n
As Nagy previously noted, doing this check on any -S operations might look
intrusive, but it can be required.
For example, the case where you want to install a package with versioned
provisions, using a pacman version which didn't support that feature yet
(and there is already a newer pacman in sync db supporting it).

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.

This function was used in two different ways :
- as a signal handler : the argument was the signal number
- called manually for freeing the resources : the argument was the return
value
So the first part is now handler(int), and the second cleanup(int).
Ref: http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2008-March/011388.html
Remaining problems :
- the return values are messy. for example, 2 can mean both that it was
interrupted (SIGINT == 2), or that --help or -V was used (returned by
parseargs).
- apparently signal is not portable and sigaction should be used instead
