This commit was made with the intent of displaying "correctly" sorted
package lists to users. Here are some reasons I think this is incorrect:
* It is done in the wrong place. If a frontend application wants to show
a different order of packages dependent on locale, it should do that
on its own.
* Even if one wants a locale-specific order, almost all package names
are all ASCII and language agnostic, so this different comparison
makes little sense and may serve only to confuse people.
* _alpm_pkg_cmp was unlike any other comparator function. None of the
rest had any dependency on anything but the content of the structs
being compared (e.g., they only used strcmp() or other basic
comparison operators).
This reverts commit 3e4d2c3aa6.

This shouldn't really be declared with const, and causes a compile error
when -Wcast-qual is used. Remove the const specifier from the function
specification and all implementations.
Also fix one other trivial -Wcast-qual warning in _alpm_db_cmp().

Neither deltas nor filename attributes are ever present in the local

We currently have csize, isize, and size concepts, and sometimes the
difference isn't clear. Ensure the following holds:
* size (aka csize): always the compressed size of the package; available
for everything except local packages (where it will return 0)
* isize: always the installed size of the package; available for all
three package types

This changes the signature of _alpm_pkg_dup() to return an integer error
code and provide the new package in a passed pointer argument. All
callers are now more robust with checking the return value of this
function to ensure a fatal error did not occur.
We allow load failures to proceed as otherwise we have a chicken and egg
problem- if a 'desc' local database entry is missing, the best way of
restoring said file is `pacman -Sf --dbonly packagename`. This patch
fixes a segfault that was occurring in this case.
Fixes the segfault reported in FS#25667.

The functions alpm_db_get_name(), alpm_pkg_get_name(), and
alpm_pkg_get_version() are not necessary at all, so remove the calling
and indirection when used in the backend, which makes things slightly
more efficient and reduces code size.

* Move is_local standalone field to status enum
* Create VALID/INVALID flag pair
* Create EXISTS/MISSING flag pair
With these additional fields, we can be more intelligent with database
loading and messages to the user. We now only warn once if a sync
database does not exist and do not continue to try to load it once we
have marked it as missing.
The reason for the flags existing in pairs is so the unknown case can be
represented. There should never be a time when both flags in the same
group are true, but if they are both false, it represents the unknown
case. Care is taken to always manipulate both flags at the same time.

We did this with depends way back in commit c244cfecf6 in 2007. We
can do it with these fields as well.
Of note is the inclusion of provides even though only '=' is supported-
we'll parse other things, but no guarantees are given as to behavior,
which is more or less similar to before since we only looked for the
equals sign.
Also of note is the non-inclusion of optdepends; this will likely be
resolved down the road.
The biggest benefactors of this change will be the resolving code that
formerly had to parse and reparse several of these fields; it only
happens once now at load time. This does lead to the disadvantage that
we will now always be parsing this information up front even if we never
need it in the split form, but as these are uncommon fields and our
parser is quite efficient it shouldn't be a big concern.

These items are never present in anything but sync databases, nor do we
even try to load them from the local database. Remvoe the indirection
meant to allow the caching layer to work since it will never do anything
anyway.

This adds a field in the package struct for this checksum type as well
as allowing access via the API to it. The frontend is now able to
display any read value. Note that this does not implement any use or
verification of the value internally.

This accomplishes quite a few things with one rather invasive change.
1. Iteration is much more performant, due to a reduction in pointer
chasing and linear item access.
2. Data structures are smaller- we no longer have the overhead of the
linked list as the file struts are now laid out consecutively in
memory.
3. Memory allocation has been massively reworked. Before, we would
allocate three different pieces of memory per file item- the list
struct, the file struct, and the copied filename. What this resulted
in was massive fragmentation of memory when loading filelists since
the memory allocator had to leave holes all over the place. The new
situation here now removes the need for any list item allocation;
allocates the file structs in contiguous memory (and reallocs as
necessary), leaving only the strings as individually allocated. Tests
using valgrind (massif) show some pretty significant memory
reductions on the worst case `pacman -Ql > /dev/null` (366387 files
on my machine):
Before:
Peak heap: 54,416,024 B
Useful heap: 36,840,692 B
Extra heap: 17,575,332 B
After:
Peak heap: 38,004,352 B
Useful heap: 28,101,347 B
Extra heap: 9,903,005 B
Several small helper methods have been introduced, including a list to
array conversion helper as well as a filelist merge sort that works
directly on arrays.

This allows us to capture size and mode data when building filelists
from package files. Future patches will take advantage of this newly

There is little need to expose the guts of this function even within the
library. Make it static in be_local.c, and clean up a few other things
since we know exactly where it is being called from:
* Remove unnecessary origin checks in _cache_get_*() methods- if you are
calling a cache method your package type will be correct.
* Remove sanity checks within local_db_read() itself- packages will
always have a name and version if they get this far, and the package
object will never be NULL either.
The one case calling this from outside the backend was in add.c, where
we forced a full load of a package before we duplicated it. Move this
concern elsewhere and have pkg_dup() always force a full package load
via a new force_load() function on the operations callback struct.

Only one of these looked like a real red flag, in find_requiredby(), but
it doesn't hurt to fix several of them up anyway.
Unfortunately, we can't turn this on universally due to things like the
sync(), remove(), etc. builtins which we often use as variable names.

We were using copy_data before; this works for the struct itself but not

We didn't do due diligence before and ensure prior pm_errno values
weren't influencing what happened in further ALPM calls. I observed one
case of early setup code setting pm_errno to PM_ERR_WRONG_ARGS and that
flag persisting the entire time we were calling library code.
Add a new CHECK_HANDLE() macro that does two things: 1) ensures the
handle variable passed to it is non-NULL and 2) clears any existing
pm_errno flag set on the handle. This macro can replace many places we
used the ASSERT(handle != NULL, ...) pattern before.
Several other other places only need a simple 'set to zero' of the
pm_errno field.

The usefulness of this is rather limited due to it not being compiled
into production builds. When you do choose to see the output, it is
often overwhelming and not helpful. The best bet is to use a debugger

Given that we offer no transparency into the pmpgpsig_t type, we don't
really need to expose it outside of the library, and at this point, we
don't need it at all. Don't decode anything except when checking
signatures. For packages/files not from a sync database, we now just
read the signature file directly anyway.
Also push the decoding logic down further into the check method so we
don't need this hanging out in a less than ideal place. This will make
it easier to conditionally compile things down the road.

For a package to be loaded from any of our backends, these two fields
are always required upfront. Due to this fact, we don't need them to be
backend-specific operations and can just refer to the field directly.
Additionally, our static (and thus private) cache package accessors had
a NULL check on pkg before returning the relevant field. Eliminate this
since they only way they are ever called is via the packages attached
callback struct, which would have caused the NULL pointer dereference in
the first place.
