The request of FS#12950 is implemented.
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.

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.

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.
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-
defined conflict that induced the fact that package1 conflicts with
package2.
I modified the front-end (in callback.c, sync.c, upgrade.c) to print this
new information as well.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

The "package : local (v1) is newer than repo (v2)" message can be moved to

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"

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

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

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.

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.

Start to move the delta struct away from an assumed package name scheme and
towards something that is package (or even filename) agnostic. This will
