This basically started with this change :
/* Transaction */
struct __pmtrans_t {
- pmtranstype_t type;
pmtransflag_t flags;
pmtransstate_t state;
- alpm_list_t *packages; /* list of (pmpkg_t *) */
+ alpm_list_t *add; /* list of (pmpkg_t *) */
+ alpm_list_t *remove; /* list of (pmpkg_t *) */
And then I have to modify all the code accordingly.
This patch utilizes the power of sync.c to fix FS#3492 and FS#5798.
Now an upgrade transaction is just a sync transaction internally (in alpm),
so all sync features are available with -U as well:
* conflict resolving
* sync dependencies from sync repos
* remove unresolvable targets
See http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2009-June/008725.html
for the concept.
We use "mixed" target list, where PKG_FROM_FILE origin indicates local
package file, PKG_FROM_CACHE indicates sync package. The front-end can add
only one type of packages (depending on transaction type) atm, but if alpm
resolves dependencies for -U, we may get a real mixed trans->packages list.
_alpm_pkg_free_trans() was modified so that it can handle both target types
_alpm_add_prepare() was removed, we use _alpm_sync_prepare() instead
_alpm_add_commit() was renamed to _alpm_upgrade_targets()
sync.c (and deps.c) was modified slightly to handle mixed target lists,
the modifications are straightforward. There is one notable change here: We
don't create new upgrade trans in sync.c, we replace the pkgcache entries
with the loaded package files in the target list (this is a bit hackish) and
call _alpm_upgrade_targets(). This implies a TODO (pkg->origin_data.db is
not accessible anymore), but it doesn't hurt anything with pacman front-end,
so it will be fixed later (otherwise this patch would be huge).
I updated the documentation of -U and I added a new pactest, upgrade090.py,
to test the syncdeps feature of -U.

The main purpose of this function to make our code more readable.
It frees transaction specific fields of pmpkg_t. (It is used when a package
is removed from the target list.)

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.

* 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 alpm_pkg_has_force function
This allows us to access the pkg->force field like any other package fields.

This vercmp issue has been a sticking point but this should resolve many of

We have been using unsigned long as a file size type for a while, which
works but isn't quite correct and could easily break. Worse was probably our
use of int in the download callback functions, which could be restrictive
for packages > 2GB in size.
Switch all file size variables to use off_t, which is the preferred type for
file sizes. Note that at least on Linux, all applications compiled against
libalpm must now be sure to use large file support, where _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
is defined to be 64 or there will be some weird issues that crop up.

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.

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.

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.

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.
