d0d8f605d5 alpm: don't expose alpm_depcmp
Either we expose all low levels function dealing with pmdepend_t
(splitdep and depfree come to mind), or we don't.

Since none of the tools use depcmp, I chose to remove it. In the future,
we might want to expose higher level functions such as
alpm_find_satisfier, or just lower level functions like splitdep and
depfree together with depcmp.

On the backend side, I introduced a new function, alpm_db_set_pkgreason(),
to modify the install reason of a package in the local database. On the
front-end side, I introduced a new main operation, -D/--database, which has
two options, --asdeps and --asexplicit. I documented this in pacman manual.
I've created two pactests to test -D: database001.py and database002.py.

d2dbb04a9a download: major refactor to address lingering issues
Sorry for this being such a huge patch, but I believe it is necessary for
quite a few reasons which I will attempt to explain herein. I've been
mulling this over for a while, but wasn't super happy with making the
download interface more complex. Instead, if we carefully order things in
the internal download code, we can actually make the interface simpler.

1. FS#15657 - This involves `name.db.tar.gz.part` files being left around the
filesystem, and then causing all sorts of issues when someone attempts to
rerun the operation they canceled. We need to ensure that if we resume a
download, we are resuming it on exactly the same file; if we cannot be
almost postive of that then we need to start over.

2. http://www.mail-archive.com/pacman-dev@archlinux.org/msg03536.html - Here
we have a lighttpd bug to ruin the day. If we send both a Range: header and
If-Modified-Since: header across the wire in a GET request, lighttpd doesn't
do what we want in several cases. If the file hadn't been modified, it
returns a '304 Not Modified' instead of a '206 Partial Content'. We need to
do a stat (e.g. HEAD in HTTP terms) operation here, and the proceed
accordingly based off the values we get back from it.

3. The mtime stuff was rather ugly, and relied on the called function to
write back to a passed in reference, which isn't the greatest. Instead, use
the power of the filesystem to contain this info. Every file downloaded
internally is now carefully timestamped with the remote file time. This
should allow the resume logic to work. In order to guarantee this, we need
to implement a signal handler that catches interrupts, notifies the running
code, and causes it to set the mtimes on the file. It then rethrows the
signal so the pacman signal handler (or any frontend) works as expected.

4. We did a lot of funky stuff in trying to track the DB last modified time.
It is a lot easier to just keep the downloaded DB file around and track the
time on that rather than in a funky dot file. It also kills a lot of code.

5. For GPG verification of the databases down the road, we are going to need
the DB file around for at least a short bit of time anyway, so this gets us
closer to that.

35dc9b0314 int typing: s/unsigned short/int/ in libalpm
After our recent screwup with size_t and ssize_t in the download code, I
found the `-Wsign-conversion` flag to GCC to see if we were doing anything
else boneheaded. I didn't find anything quite as bad, but we did have some
goofups- most of our public unsigned methods would return -1 on error, which
is a bit odd in an unsigned context.

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-

package2.

new information as well.

1d19f0896c Introduce -Suu
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.

aa579b8438 Give sensible feedback when a repo has no configured servers
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.

aefb4e0fa5 Remove pmsyncpkg_t
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.

8c09c19139 libalpm: remove from_md5 and to_md5 from pmdelta_t
The from_md5 and to_md5 fields were a nice extra safety, which would avoid
trying to apply deltas on corrupted package files. However, they are not
strictly necessary, since xdelta should be able to detect that on its own.

The main problem is that it is impossible to compute these informations from
the delta only. So repo-add would not be able to compute the delta entry
based on just the delta file.

0268550401 Enabled new interactive prompt and updated some tests
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.

a888f377a5 HoldPkg rework
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

5b51dbb11e Cleanup of _alpm_pkg_compare_versions.
* 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.

fd8969f678 sync_addtarget rework
Now '-S provision' handling is done in the back-end.

In case of multiple providers, the first one is selected (behavior change:
deleted provision002.py). The old processing order was: literal, group,
provision; the new one: literal, provision, group. This is more rational,
but "pacman -S group" will be slower now. "pacman -S repo/provision" also
works. Provision was generalized to dependencies, so you can resolve deps by
hand: "pacman -S 'bash>2.0'" or "pacman -S 'core/bash>2.0'" etc. This can be
useful in makepkg dependency resolving. The changes were documented in
pacman manual.

alpm_find_pkg_satisfiers and _alpm_find_dep_satisfiers functions were
removed, since they are no longer needed.

I added some verbosity to "select provider instead of literal" and
"fallback to group".

f43805d875 Cleanup usages of alpm_list_find and alpm_list_remove.
* remove obsolete and unused *_cmp helper functions like deppkg_cmp and
_alpm_grp_cmp

* new alpm_list_remove_str function, used 6 times in handle.c

* remove _alpm_prov_cmp / _alpm_db_whatprovides and replace them by
a more general alpm_find_pkg_satisfiers with a cleaner implementation.
before: alpm_db_whatprovides(db, targ)
after: alpm_find_pkg_satisfiers(alpm_db_getpkgcache(db), targ)

* remove satisfycmp and replace alpm_list_find + satisfycmp usage by
_alpm_find_dep_satisfiers.
before : alpm_list_find(_alpm_db_get_pkgcache(db), dep, satisfycmp)
after : _alpm_find_dep_satisfiers(_alpm_db_get_pkgcache(db), dep)

* remove _alpm_pkgname_pkg_cmp, which was used with alpm_list_remove, and
use _alpm_pkg_find + alpm_list_remove with _alpm_pkg_cmp instead.

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.

8f902865d9 Add documentation for transaction events
It is hard to decipher what the transaction events actually notify you
of, and what parameters are passed to the callback function, without
looking at the code. This patch adds documentation for the _pmtransevt_t
enum in order to clarify what the event is for and what data is passed
when the callback is called.

701a03dcdb Completely rework delta algorithm
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.
