xbps-0.53 (2018-07-30):
* xbps-rindex(1): fix possible stagedata deadlock. (@Gottox)
* xbps-create(1): Allow file paths longer than 128 characters. (@Gottox)
* libxbps: share workload more efficient between threads and avoid idling
threads. (@Gottox)
* xbps-rindex(1): By default xbps-rindex will not check hashes while cleaning.
To enable the old behavior the user can supply the --hashcheck flag.
(@Gottox)
xbps-0.52 (2018-04-30):
* xbps-checkvers(1): avoid infinite loops while checking revers by @ebfe #250
* libxbps: refuse to unpack absolute paths by @ebfe #247
* libxbps: verify that package version in repodata and the package metadata
matches by @ebfe #246
* xbps-rindex(1): better support for large files by @ebfe #245
* xbps-uunshare(1), xbps-uchroot(1): support relative chroot paths by
@Duncaen #207
* libxbps: Default umask for internal plists by @Duncaen #234
* Fixes for GCC 7 by @AgustinCB #254
* Fixed some random memleaks by @duncaen #206
* xbps-query(1): added --list-repolock-pkgs for consistency with other
modes #202
* libfetch: send http proxy authorization header before a secure
connection to the target is initialized. fixed by Enno Boland
reported by pulux in #185
* libxbps: avoid mmap in cases where the mmaped file can fill up the address
space on 32bit causing out of memory errors. Patches provided by Enno
Boland in #183, reported by Christian Neukirchen in #182. See
https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/pull/183 and
https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/pull/182
* xbps-create(1): accept -c/--changelog to set the changelog property of the
package
* xbps-query(1): fix segfault in -Ro with HTTPS repositories.
Fixes #167. See https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/167
* xbps-uhelper: the 'arch' target now supports the XBPS_ARCH
and XBPS_TARGET_ARCH environmental variables to override the
resulting architecture.
* portableproplib: merged two fixes from NetBSD CVS HEAD.
* xbps-create(1): this now creates reproducible pkgs when the file
contents do not change. Implemented by Enno Boland (@Gottox).
* xbps.d(5): the 'virtualpkg' keyword can now be used to map any pkg
to another, even if there's an existing real package. Example:
virtualpkg=wifi-firmware:base-system
Any request to the `wifi-firmware` pkg will be resolved to the
`base-system` pkg.
* libxbps: fixed some missing or incorrect printf format arguments
found by using __attribute__((format,printf). Patch provided by
Michael Gehring in #148. See https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/148
* libxbps: ignore updates for packages that have held dependencies.
Fixes #143. See https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/143
* xbps-install(1): in dry-run mode, do not stop after processing a package
that is already up-to-date. Fixes #145.
See https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/145
* libxbps: package INSTALL/REMOVE scripts do not need to be executables
anymore because they are executed with "/bin/sh" directly. That means
"/tmp" can be mounted as "noexec". Fixed #149 correctly.
See https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/149
* xbps-query(1): fix a bug where the output of -o became mixed up
when running on multiple cores.
* xbps-rindex: changes introducing inconsistent shlib dependencies will be
moved to a stage area and moved to the main repo once all inconsistencies
are resolved. Implemented by Enno Boland (@Gottox).
* libxbps: if a local repository is opened also include the stage area.
xbps-0.51 (2015-12-12):
* zsh completion: added -U/--unpack-only support for xbps-install(1).
* libxbps: initialize locale to be able to unpack UTF-8 encoded
packages files correctly with the musl C library.
* alternatives: preserve current order while updating packages.
* alternatives: always create the directory where the symlink is stored,
in case this does not exist yet.
* libxbps: another bugfix for conflicts: do not take into account packages
that are on hold mode.
xbps-0.50 (2015-11-10):
* libxbps: another bugfix for conflicts; do not take into account conflicts
in installed pkgs when the same pkg is in the transaction.
* xbps-alternatives(1): symlinks are now always created relative to the
rootdir of the target file. Implemented by Enno Boland (@Gottox).
* libxbps: fixed a bug in package conflicts: ignore conflicts for packages
that are going to be removed.
* xbps-alternatives(1): dangling symlinks are now supported, because the
target directory is always created.
* Updated zsh completions, by Steve Prybylski.
* xbps-checkvers(1): Joey Gouly fixed bug #120
(https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/120).
* libxbps: when configuring all packages ignore internal xbps objects of pkgdb.
Fixes an assertion with `xbps-reconfigure -a`.
* alternatives: really make relative symlinks this time.
xbps-0.49 (2015-10-31):
* alternatives: relative symlinks are now supported. Contributed
by Joey Guly in #126 (https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/126).
* xbps-alternatives(1): -g <grp> -l now works. To only print all alternatives
associated with this group.
* xbps-remove(1): this now will print the messages from alternatives.
* alternatives: do not register duplicate alternative groups. Happened when
reinstalling a package with alternatives.
xbps-0.48 (2015-10-30):
* xbps-alternatives(1): new utility to list or set alternatives provided by
packages. This effectively implements a functional alternatives framework
to switch easily a default provider via symbolic links.
* xbps-{install,reconfigure,remove}(1): do not log to console when the
syslog option (xbps.d(5)) is enabled. Messages are send to stderr/stdout,
so that logging to the console duplicates them. Close #123
https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/123
* xbps-fbulk(1): now comes with a manual page for the section 1.
* libxbps: implemented reverse conflicts. That means that just a single pkg
needs to set conflicts to be effective, rather than all involved pkgs.
* libxbps: with -M (--memory-sync opt of xbps-{install,query}) only process
remote repositories, not local ones.
* libfetch: merge some features from FreeBSD:
- Supports HTTP/1.1 308 redirect.
- SSLv2 HTTPS connections are forbidden by default.
- SSL/TLS HTTPS client certificate validation.
- Fixes for user/password encoding, misc.
Client certificate validation uses the default CA path (/etc/ssl/certs)
and some environment variables override its behaviour:
- SSL_CA_CERT_FILE: path to the CA file.
- SSL_CA_CERT_PATH: path to the CA path (defaults to /etc/ssl/certs)
- SSL_NO_VERIFY_PEER: disable certificate verification.
- SSL_NO_VERIFY_HOSTNAME: disable certificate hostname verification.
* lixbps: use a sane umask if the pkgdb file needs to created for the first
time. Thanks to Wolfgang Draxinger (https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/pull/108).
* xbps-install(1): -n/--dry-run mode now also prints "installed_size" and
"filename-size" objects as 5th and 6th argument, respectively.
This implements #109 (https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/109).
* libxbps: fixed another issue when replacing an existing pkg with a virtual
pkg, and there's an update for the original pkg in the transaction.
Fixes #116 (https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/116).
* libxbps: the rpool functions now set errno to ENOENT when the target
pkg cannot be found in registered repos.
* libxbps: fix a bug where broken reverse dependencies would be detected
before detecting packages that need to be replaced in transaction.
* xbps-query(1): fail if unused arguments are supplied.
* libxbps: relative cachedir set via xbps.d(5) now work correctly.
Fixes #117 (https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/117)
* xbps-create(1): --compression now accepts "none" to not use any
compression format.
* xbps-create(1): it is now able to generate identical packages when its
content does not differ. This is the first part required to the
"100% reproducible builds" goal.
* xbps-create(1): do not add a build-date property to packages.
* xbps-rindex(1): use mtime of file instead of the build-date field in the
package to set build-date in the repo index.
* libxbps: when using verbose mode (-v) also print pkgs that are being
added to the transaction, this way we can know what pkg(s) are blocking
a transaction when there are unresolved (reverse)dependencies.
* libxbps: improved messages when reverse dependencies in a transaction
are not satistfied. Close #113 (https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/113).
After
-----
$ xbps-install -un
re2-2015.07.01_1 (update) breaks installed pkg `chromium-44.0.2403.155_1'
Transaction aborted due to unresolved dependencies.
$
Before
------
$ xbps-install -un
chromium-44.0.2403.155_1 broken, needs `re2-2015.07.01_1'
Transaction aborted due to unresolved dependencies.
$
* Multiple minor issues found by Coverity scan were fixed.
* xbps-checkvers(1): fixed an endless loop while processing templates containing
extra alphanumeric characters in the `reverts' object. Added a new testcase
to verify its correctness.
xbps-0.47 (2015-07-18):
* When executing pkg configuration, override the umask with sane defaults.
Otherwise files might be created with undesired permissions.
Fixes #106 (https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/106)
* libxbps: when resuming a file transfer (.part file exists), check if the
requested offset matches the remote file size, and if that's true,
just rename the file to finish it. The HTTP server might return a 413
return code to tell us that range is not satisfiable.
xbps-0.46 (2015-06-24):
* xbps-*: all utilities are now using getopt_long() rather than getopt()
to avoid the differences with glibc and musl when handling arguments.
Thanks to Chris M. Branon for #103.
* xbps_transaction_prepare(): do not release the transaction dictionary
if it returns ENOSPC, we need it to have access to this data to print
required/free space. Fixes #101 ((https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/101)
* xbps-uchroot(1): now handles SIG{INT,TERM,QUIT} signals to clean up the
temporary masterdir if `-t` is set.
* /usr/sbin is now a symlink in void, don't consider it as obsolete and never
remove it even if it was detected as obsolete.
* xbps-rindex(1): use `-s, --sign` to initialize the repository archive
with the required metadata to allow signed packages. Added `-S, --sign-pkg`
to sign a specific package archive. This allows to sign a specific package,
rather than all packages available in that repository.
* If the repository write lock is already taken, sleep for 1 second, rather
than looping endlessly without any timing; this consumed too much CPU time
gratuitously.
* If verifying a pkg signature fails for some reason, i.e: pkg archive is incomplete,
signature file is incomplete, whatever, just remove both files. Let's assume
next time the files are downloaded they will be valid.
xbps-0.45 (2015-06-03):
* xbps-install(1): added -U --unpack-only option, to only unpack packages
in the transaction, skips the configuration phase.
* configure: added `--enable-fulldebug` option to enable extra/expensive
debug output.
* libxbps: fixed a dangling pointer when unpacking configuration files that
are renamed (because they existed), if the unpack callback function is set.
* proplib: extra checks when internalizing plists to avoid NULL pointer
dereferences with broken files.
* Move manual pages of all utilities to the section 1 (user commands).
The xbps utilities can be used by any user so that there's no point
in having them in the section 8 (administraction and privileged commands).
* configure: --sbindir -> --bindir and executables are installed into
<prefix>/bin not <prefix>/sbin anymore.
* xbps-install(1): if there's not enough sufficient free space on rootdir,
print the required size by the transaction and free space.
* libxbps: if a pkg signature file cannot be verified, don't continue processing
other files, stop and return error immediately.
* xbps-remove(1): fixed regression while removing recursively packages, don't remove
all package orphans, this task belongs to -o not -R.
This closes #95 (xbps-remove -R pkg lists/removes orphans):
https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/95
* xbps-uunshare(1): replaced -D, -H and -S with -b src:dest. This bind mounts
src into dir/dest and allows unlimited mounts.
* xbps-uchroot(1): replaced -D, -H and -S with -b src:dest. This bind mounts
src into dir/dest and allows unlimited mounts.
* configure: added --dbdir to customize path to pkgdb.
* xbps-uchroot(1): added -o option to pass arguments to the tmpfs mount,
as is. See mount(1). Useful to specify a size for the temporary tmpfs
with overlayfs (-O).
* xbps-uchroot(1): added -t option to mount a tmpfs as temporary directory
for overlayfs (-O).
* libxbps: file descriptors are now opened with O_CLOEXEC, to avoid warnings
of leaked file descriptors while running package install/remove scripts.
* xbps-query(1): do not truncate output if stdout is not a tty.
* libfetch: added support for keep-alive connections even if the HTTP server returns
304 (Not Modified). This is a noticable performance improvement for `xbps-install -S`.
* xbps now autoupdates itself when there's a package update.
* xbps-uchroot(1): added -O option to use overlayfs to mount CHROOTDIR in
a temporary directory stored on tmpfs. This needs linux >= 3.18.
* xbps-rindex(1): fixed concurrency issues with -a and -c modes; use a simple
file lock to avoid inconsistent results in generated repodata.
xbps-0.44.1 (2015-03-21):
* libxbps: fixed xbps_get_pkg_fulldeptree() when a pkg depends on itself via
virtual packages. Reported by Duncan Overbrook.
* portableproplib: fixed a regression introduced in 0.44 resulting in EBADF
while internalizing plists.
* xbps-uunshare(1): does not fork and run cmd in the child process anymore,
replaces the execution environment with cmd instead.
* xbps-uunshare(1): do not fail if we cannot disable setgroups; some kernels
might not support it. Found by @cheneukirchen on 3.16.
* xbps-reconfigure(1): added -i/--ignore to usage(), by Christian Neukirchen.
* Updated zsh completions, by Christian Neukirchen.
* xbps-checkvers(1): fixed regression introduced in 0.44 adding packages
manually to the list as arguments.
xbps-0.44 (2015-03-06):
* xbps-uunshare(1): new utility analogue to xbps-uchroot(1), but uses
user namespaces (see user_namespaces(7)) to avoid the need of elevated
privileges.
* xbps-rindex(1): fix -s short option; was omitted in the short options list.
* xbps-pkgdb(1): added a new mode to set in installed packages: "repolock".
If that mode is set with `-m repo(un)lock`, a package will only be updated
if there's an update in the same repository that was used for installing.
This implements #77 (https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/77)
* libxbps: properly detect when a file has been moved between packages:
if the mtime stored in the pkg metadata does not match the mtime
of the same file stored on disk, don't detect this as an obsolete file.
* xbps-pkgdb(1): this now exits with an error if any test has failed.
* libxbps: while unpacking pkg files that were not modified (sha256 hash matched),
do not forget to also update the file timestamps on disk, to match
what the binary package has stored in the metadata.
* xbps-pkgdb(1): this now checks the modification time of pkg files
(iff the pkg metadata has that information).
* xbps-create(1): modification time of regular files and links is now stored
in the package files metadata, will be used in a future version.
* libxbps: file timestamps stored in binary packages are now restored while
unpacking as regular user.
* xbps-pkgdb(1): this now uses the code from libxbps to check the target file
of symlinks. This fixes some false positives with symlinks.
* xbps-create(1): properly detect target of relative symlinks in some cases.
* libxbps: make sure that symlinks with relative target are detected and removed
properly. Fix #78: https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/78
* xbps-checkvers(1): this now does not segfault anymore when the source package
does not set required variables (pkgname/version/revision). Added new test
cases to verify its correctness.
* libxbps: globally check for unresolved reverse dependencies before accepting
the transaction. This catches more cases of broken packages due to incompatible
upgrades or unwanted removals. This also implements #46.
https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/46
* xbps-query(1): in the ownedby mode, do not follow symbolic links and if the
matching file is a symlink print its target file too:
$ xbps-query -o `which whatis`
mdocml-1.13.2_5: /usr/bin/whatis -> /usr/bin/mandoc (link)
* xbps-install(1): add additional actions to the column output: "downgrade"
and "reinstall", as well as current installed version and new version.
Implement https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/72
* libxbps: add packages on hold mode to the transaction, but just ignore them.
This way those are shown in the xbps-install(1) output and the user really
knows that there's a pending update that is not being applied.
Idea by @chneukirchen.
* libxbps: make sure to remove the pkg metadata file if a pkg upgrade does not
own any file and a dependency replaces it due to moving files between them.
Added two new test cases to verify its correctness.
* xbps-query(1): --regex option now matches EREs in case insensitive mode.
* libxbps: globally check for unresolved shared libraries before accepting
a transaction to make sure there's no broken packages.
* libxbps: abort package unpacking as soon as a file failed
to be written and return a meaningful error; close #74
https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/74
* Change the xbps utils to just check for the first character when it
asks for confirmation, rather than "yes" or "no". This implements issue #73.
https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/73
* libxbps: use a sane umask(2) while unpacking package files from
binary packages (see https://github.com/voidlinux/void-packages/issues/835)
* xbps-dgraph(1): the -m/--metadata option (default mode) is now properly
accepted. Regression introduced in 0.42.
* xbps-{install,query}: the --repository argument now works with relative
paths for local repositories. The relative path is always converted to
absolute.
* libxbps: the provides obj (array of strings) now fully expects exact
pkgver strings, such as `foo-1.0_1`. Incomplete components such as
`pkgname` or `pkgname-9` are not accepted anymore.
* libxbps: detection of orphaned pkgs is now 66% faster (and even more in some cases).
This improves the performance of `xbps-remove -R` (recursively remove a pkg
and its dependencies) and `xbps-remove -o` (remove orphaned pkgs) marginally.
* xbps-query(1): only compile the ERE (Extended Regular Expression) once in
the ownedby and search modes. A performance improvement suggested by Christian Neukirchen.
* libxbps: performance improvement for xbps_repo_get_pkg_revdeps(): when finding
the matching pkg, search for it in the current repository, not in the repository
pool.
xbps-0.43.1 (2015-01-05):
* Fixed a regression in virtual packages defined via xbps.d(5) introduced in 0.43.
xbps-0.43 (2014-12-31):
* pcc >= 1.1.0 is now a supported compiler.
* xbps.d(5): the "virtualpkg" keyword now accepts pkgnames in the first component,
to match any virtual package version. Example:
`virtualpkg=foo:bar`
would match any version of the virtual package `foo' to be resolved as `bar'.
* libxbps: when resolving virtual packages in repositories, make sure to initialize
pkgdb to match any virtualpkg declared there. Regression introduced in 0.42.
* configure: build with -fstack-protector-strong if supported by the compiler,
and fallback to -fstack-protector otherwise.
* xbps-pkgdb(1): the `packaged-with` string obj is removed from pkgdb.
Since 0.42 that object is unnecessary and is being obsoleted.
* libfetch: fix races in the cache connection code.
xbps-0.42 (2014-12-22):
* xbps-reconfigure(1): new option -i, --ignore to ignore packages
while performing configuration of all packages with -a, --all.
Fix #67 (https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/67)
* xbps-{install,query}: fix alignment in the column output mode
when pkgname is shorter than 4 chars. Fix #71 (https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/71)
* xbps.d(5): new manual page detailing the configuration settings.
* xbps-dgraph(1): added support to generate dependency graphs, repository
mode, prints results to stdout, supports most of the options available
in other utils, etc. This is now a first class utility.
* xbps-{install,query}: added new option (-M, --memory-sync) to fetch and
store remote repository data in memory. That means that synchronizing
the repository archives with `xbps-install -S` is now completely optional.
This also means that `xbps-query(1)` may be used by any user without the
need to be the `superuser` to synchronize the repository archives.
* xbps-{install,query}: added new option (-i, --ignore-conf-repos) to ignore
repositories defined in configuration files (xbps.d). Only repos specified
by the command line will be used (--repository).
* Implemented issue #69 (No way to set globally a custom architecture)
A new configuration keyword "architecture" has been added to override
the native machine architecture (uname -m).
* Fixed issue #68 "xbps_binpkg_arch() asserts if arch contains a dash"
https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/68
* xbps-query(1): added --cat=FILE mode to print FILE stored in a binary package
to stdout. This works exactly as the --files mode: if the matching binary package
is not available in the cachedir, xbps will establish a network connection
to the target repository to get the contents of FILE on the fly.
* Get rid of repodata index-files, that contained all pkg files of a repository
in the archive. That file was so huge that incresed the repository archive
size by 8x. That means that `xbps-query -Ro` will now make N parallel connections
to the remote server to inspect the binary packages remotely; if the binary
package is in cachedir, no network connection to the remote server will be
established. This reduces the size of the main x86_64 repository (4000 packages)
to 700KB, compared to 4.5MB previously.
* xbps-create(1): fixed issue #64 "xbps-create(1) incorrect installed-size with hardlinks".
https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/64
* Added a new configuration keyword "bestmatching", which expects "true" or "false"
and disabled by default. If enabled the pkg with the greatest version available
in all registered repositories will be choosen, rather than the first package
matching the expression. This keyword can be set in a configuration file.
* xbps-rindex(1): added -d/--debug option.
* utils: the -C/--config option now expects a path to a directory storing
configuration files; if first character is not '/' it will be treated as
relative to rootdir.
* <sysconfdir>/xbps/xbps.conf is not longer installed, in fact there are no files
installed anymore to sysconfdir. The xbps.conf file with everything commented out
is now installed to <sharedir>/xbps.d/xbps.conf just as example.
* Replaced config/system {preserve,repo,virtualpkg}.d directories with a single
xbps.d directory that may contain configuration files of all kinds:
general options, repositories, virtual packages, and preserved files.
By default set to <sysconfdir>/xbps.d and <sharedir>/xbps.d:
- /usr/local/etc/xbps.d <- configuration directory
- /usr/local/share/xbps.d <- system configuration directory
Files bearing the same filename in the configuration directory override
those available in the system configuration directory.
* Virtual packages are now collected directly from pkgdb, that means
that installed packages do not need to have a virtualpkg configuration
file in the system virtualpkg.d directory.
* xbps-{install,remove}: implemented a column/wide output mode
as requested in #63 (https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/63).
If the terminal has enough columns it will use this and falling back
to the previous mode otherwise.
* libxbps: replaces the internal redundant dependency sorting step
that was made in xbps_transaction_prepare() with a simple implementation
that fixes 2 bugs and makes xbps 2x faster to resolve dependencies.
Packages that don't have "provides" obj but were declared as virtual packages,
were not detected correctly and lead me to rewrite this code.
* Fixed issue #62 (Dup replaced pkgs in transaction); see
https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/62
* If removing a package and euid==0 do not check for file owner, being root
means that all files can be removed properly. This fixes package removal
when some files were not owned by root, rather by a system account.
* Fixed 65 issues found by Coverity scan. Defect density is now below 0.30
per 1000 lines of code.
* Use atomic builtins if supported by the compiler in our portableproplib copy
to handle object reference counting. This should be cheaper than using a mutex.
* The manpages are now fully compliant with mdoc; thanks to mandoc -Wall.
* Added support to run the testsuite in place, without the need to perform
installation; use `make check` to run it.
xbps-0.41 (2014-09-29):
* libxbps: another bugfix while checking required shlibs in
reverse dependencies. Written another test case to verify its
correctness.
* libxbps: rather than checking if user has write permission on
package files for removal, check if the files are owned by the
same user ID. This fixes a new issue where files with only the read
bit set cannot be removed. Added a new test case to verify its
correctness.
* xbps-create(1): xz compressed packages now use default compression
level (-6) rather than max level (-9); max compression level uses
too much memory and it's much slower; by Christian Neukirchen.
* Improvements for xbps bash completions, by Eivind Uggedal.
* A performance improvement for xbps_file_hash(), by Enno Boland.
* Added reverts field to package definitions. If defined, a package will
replace all versions specified in this field even if the installed version is
newer. This is helpful when a broken package is released. The maintainer can
downgrade this package and define a reverts field to the broken version. On
the next update xbps-install will automatically replace the broken release by
the new downgraded release.
* Replace xbps-packages directory by void-packages in xbps-checkvers(1),
xbps-uchroot(1) and others, by Enno Boland.
xbps-0.40 (2014-09-18):
* xbps-install(1): handle xbps_transaction_prepare() returning ENOSPC, to
abort a transaction when there's insufficient disk space on rootdir.
* xbps-query(1): -S/--show mode no longer prints ANSI escape codes if stdout
is not a tty; suggested by @chneukirchen.
* Reduced considerably memory requirement when checking SHA256 hashes on
files. Previous way of allocating heap memory as big as the file being
processed wasn't a great idea.
* xbps-{install,remove}: the post-install/pre-remove messages are now
printed with some guards, i.e:
"=================================================================="
" msg "
"=================================================================="
Without the need to add them manually to the {INSTALL,REMOVE}.msg files in
binary packages.
* Fixed a heap overflow when printing post-install/pre-remove messages.
Noticed by Gottox.
* Updated zsh completion with more properties for xbps-query(1). Contributed
by Christian Neukirchen.
* Updated bash completion with more properties for xbps-query(1). Contributed
by Eivind Uggedal in #58.
xbps-0.39 (2014-09-15):
* Updated bash/zsh completions for >= 0.38 with new features (Contributed by
Eivind Uggedal and Christian Neukirchen respectively).
* xbps-rindex: fix -a/--add mode to create repodata archives with 0664 permissions;
and do not create a new archive if the file cannot be open/locked, error out
instead... otherwise the file lock is ignored.
* A minor build fix for the musl C library.
xbps-0.38 (2014-09-14):
* Disabled best pkg matching code for performance reasons. When installing
or updating a package without any version component, the first repo containing
it wins. Previously the repository with the greatest version won. Use a specific
package expression to match packages in multiple repos, or switch the order
of the repos instead.
* Added bash completion for xbps-*. Contributed by Eivind Uggedal.
* Added zsh completion for xbps-* and xbps-src. Contributed by Christian Neukirchen.
* xbps-query(1): added -s/--search local mode; local pkg queries are now possible.
* pkgdb-0.38 format: the pkgdb plist file now contains all pkg metadata objects
plus the pkgdb specific ones (automatic-install, install-date, metafile-sha256)
with the pkg files list being the exception. The pkgdb code will automatically
convert the pkgdb files to the new format the first time it's accesed.
This effectively implements a two phase upgrade, the first time to upgrade the
pkgdb format and the second one to execute the real operation.
The pkg metadata files stored in metadir (/var/db/xbps) now just contains its
pkg files list objects, everything else is stored in pkgdb. This allows libxbps
to speed up the process of checking for unmet shared libraries, among other things.
* libxbps: added support to check pkg shlib-{provides,requires} objects for
all pkgs in the transaction to be updated. This will make impossible to update a
package to a newer version that contains incompatible shlibs used in its revdeps.
* xbps-rindex(1): -r/--remove-obsoletes is now ~5x faster.
* xbps-remove(1): -O/--clean-cache is now ~10% faster.
* libxbps: xbps_repo_{open,close}() gained an additional argument to acquire/release
a POSIX file lock (see lockf(3)) to serialize write access to the repository
archive. This obsoletes the POSIX named semaphores that were used in xbps-rindex(1),
which only allowed to add/clean a repository per architecture, even if it
wasn't the same local repository!
* libxbps: the fetch code now is able to connect to HTTPS without the need of
/etc/services being available; We don't expect those ports to change anytime!
* xbps-uchroot(1) is now only built on linux, because it's not portable to other
Operating Systems.
* Added support to replace virtual packages when the package to be installed
matches a virtual pkgname, for example:
- nvidia is installed and provides the `libGL` virtual pkgname.
- libGL matches the virtual pkgname and therefore replaces the `nvidia` pkg.
* xbps-query(1): added --fulldeptree long option to print a full dependency
tree for a package; this supersedes -xx which was broken since 0.37.
* xbps-query(1): fix a segfault with -Rf when there's no network connectivity.
Reported by Gottox.
* xbps-uchroot(1): do not remount / unnecessarily; just mount it as private
and nosuid once; this is enough for our use cases.
* xbps-query(1): --show/-S mode now explicitly prints pkg metadata keys
with the bold ANSI escape code.
* xbps-query(1): --search --property now works with <integer> objects, i.e:
$ xbps-query -s '' -p filename-size
* xbps-remove(1): -O/--clean-cache no longer triggers an assertion when the
cache directory is empty.
* Implemented support to preserve existent on-disk files, by always ignoring
the pkg content if the file has been matched. Details here:
https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/51
The new "preserve" keyword can be used in the xbps configuration file, as well
as for the system and configuration directories:
- <rootdir>/usr/share/xbps/preserve.d
- <rootdir>/etc/xbps/preserve.d
Full path to a file or globbing can be used:
- preserve=/usr/bin/blah
- preserve=/etc/blah/*.conf
* Always preserve files that exist on disk, but are managed by a package.
When such condition ocurrs install the pkg configuration file as `file.new-<version>`.
This fixes GH issue #50 https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/50.
* Implemented support for post-install and pre-remove messages, as explained
in issue #44 https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/44.
xbps-create(1) will read the {INSTALL,REMOVE}.msg files and will add its contents
into the `{install,remove}-msg` data objects on its metadata plist file.
* xbps-install(1): added support to list packages that will be downloaded, if those
were available in a remote repository and were not in the cache directory.
* Before accepting a transaction, xbps now checks if there's enough free space
on the target rootdir (on disk) to proceed with the operation. In code terms,
xbps_transaction_prepare() now returns ENOSPC if the size of the transaction
exceeds the size of the free space. Close issue #7.
* When installing or updating packages, now proper statistics are generated
when a binary package from a remote repository exists in the cachedir,
and when a package has the "preserve" property.
* libxbps: return ENXIO and a meaningful error message if a package that is
going to be installed or updated has invalid dependencies, i.e:
$ xbps-install --repository=$HOME/repo -n foo
ERROR: foo-1.0_1: can't guess pkgname for dependency '>=invalid-spec_1'
Package `foo' contains invalid dependencies, exiting.
$
This fixes #43 (xbps-install: unhelpful message for invalid dependency)
submitted by Dominik Honnef.
* libxbps: fixed a new issue with packages that provide/replace the
same virtual package that is going to be replaced. The issue could be
reproduced easily by installing any awk package (gawk, mawk, or nawk),
which are providing/replacing the "awk" virtual package.
* libfetch: synchronized with NetBSD pkgsrc/libfetch.
* libfetch: add support for TLS SNI (Server Name Identification) from NetBSD, with
some minor debug changes. This fixes GH issue #41 (https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/41).
xbps-0.37 (2014-06-06):
* Enabled syslog logging by default, may be still disabled via xbps.conf.
* Added support for system and configuration virtualpkg directories.
The system virtualpkg directory set to <rootdir>/usr/share/xbps/virtualpkg.d contains
virtualpkg configuration files (.conf/.vpkg) that can be overrided by the admin
in <rootdir>/etc/xbps/virtualpkg.d bearing the same file name.
This obsoletes the "virtualpkgdir" keyword support from the xbps configuration file.
* Added support for system and configuration repository directories, as
explained in GH #39 (https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/39).
The system repository directory set to <rootdir>/usr/share/xbps/repo.d contains
repository configuration files (.conf) that can be overrided by the admin
in <rootdir>/etc/xbps/repo.d bearing the same file name.
* xbps-create(1): new option `-t, --tags` to specify a list of tags
(categories) the package should be part of. This is just for metadata
purposes and querying packages by tags in the future.
* xbps-install(1): it's possible now to update a single package (if it's already
installed) without using the -u, --update option. This implements
GH #35 (https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/35).
$ xbps-install [-f] -y foo
- if foo is installed, update it.
- if foo not installed, install it.
- if -f is set, reinstall or downgrade it.
* xbps-query(1): new option (-S, --show) which shows info of a package
installed locally or in a repository with -R. This is the default mode
if no other mode is set; to preserve compatibility with previous versions.
* xbps-query(1): new long option "--regex" that can be used in the
"ownedby (-o, --ownedby)" and "search (-s, --search)" modes to match
Extended Regular Expressions against package properties.
This allows you to find packages by matching EREs in package properties,
for example to find out what packages were built between 2014-05-23 and
2014-05-25:
$ xbps-query --regex -s 2014-05-2[35] -p build-date
...
$
* Imported portable proplib 0.6.4 from https://github.com/xtraeme/portableproplib.
* Fixed a new issue with virtual packages, if a pkg provides a virtual package
that is already installed but with lesser version, do not update to it
unnecessarily (in some cases results in a crash).
* A new object is now recorded in the pkgdb to see the origin repository of
which a package was installed from, i.e:
$ xbps-query --property=repository-origin pkg
...
$
* xbps-remove(1): the -n,--dry-run option does not acquire the pkgdb file lock
anymore, so that any user can use this mode even without write permission to
the target pkgdb.
* xbps-remove(1) -O, --clean-cache is now multithreaded. Gives a performance
boost as the number of threads increases.
* xbps.conf: the keyword "include" now supports file globbing, so that multiple
small configuration files can be included directly, i.e:
include=/etc/xbps/repo.d/*.conf
Contributed by Enno Boland.
* xbps-query(1): fixed a segfault with '-Rf' if pkg is in the repository data
and its binary package does not exist.
xbps-0.36 (2014-04-21):
* libxbps: the dependency solver is now able to detect and ignore invalid
dependencies of a package that are depending on itself, either as real
or virtual packages.
* xbps-uchroot(1): a manual page has been created.
* xbps-install(1): the -n,--dry-run option does not acquire the pkgdb file lock
anymore, so that any user can use this mode even without write permission to
the target pkgdb.
* xbps-query(1): fix a segfault with '-vL' for local unsigned repositories.
* xbps-create(1): new option --compression to specify a compression format;
defaults to xz.
* xbps-checkvers(1): new utility merged from https://github.com/xdave/xbps-src-utils
that is able to check which packages are outdated in the XBPS repositories or
a rootdir by comparing them against a xbps-packages repository.
Written by xdave and improved by myself.
xbps-0.35 (2014-04-01):
* xbps-uchroot: new utility merged from xbps-packages/xbps-src that
bind mounts and chroots to a target directory. This is a setgid binary
that must have correct owner/group to work correctly.
* xbps-rindex(1): fixed a bug while signing repositories in that sometimes
the PEM RSA public key buffer contained unwanted garbage.
* Make sure that required root symlinks in void are never removed or detected
as obsoletes; added new test cases to stress the code works as expected.
xbps-0.34 (2014-03-26):
* xbps-query(1): search mode now accepts -p/--property argument to match patterns
against the stored package object in repositories. Any object stored in the repository
index can be used to be matched against to; the posibilities are countless:
- find out what packages are mantained by a person
- find out what packages are built at a specific date
- find out what packages are linked to a specific shared library
- etc etc etc
* xbps-query(1): in local mode now prints all objects stored on its pkgdb entry
and its metaplist.
* Fix #34 (xbps-uhelper fetch fails to download files from https://alioth.debian.org).
The issue is that this HTTP server returns 406 (Not Acceptable) when the HTTP
header does not contain the "Accept" field (see
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=712261 for more info).
Our libfetch code now always adds "Accept: */*" in the HTTP headers.
* Added some debugging in error paths when performing a transaction.
* Fixed an issue where in a transaction a package with wrong version was being
configured resulting in ENOENT. The configure phase now only uses the package
name to perform the configuration rather than using package name/version tuple.
* Pass another argument to package scripts with the native machine architecture
(uname -m), which can be overrided via XBPS_ARCH environment variable too.
xbps-0.33 (2014-03-11):
* xbps-dgraph: fixed a segfault if rootdir wasn't set:
issue #33: https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/33
* xbps-uhelper now supports downloading files with a defined destination.
The syntax of fetch is "URI>FILENAME". So if you call
$ xbps-uhelper fetch "http://foobar.com/foo.tar.gz>bar.tar.gz"
the output file will be named "bar.tar.gz". Contributed by
Enno Boland (Gottox).
* Rather than performing a pkgdb write per package being unpacked, configured,
or removed, issue the write only once after the transaction phase has finished.
* While checking file permissions for package files removal, make sure
to not dereference symbolic links, because a symlink might point to
a file in the rootfs, which won't have the same uid/gid.
* Fixed issue #31: https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps/issues/31
* New configuration file format with a custom C parser, simpler
and does not need any additional external dependency. confuse is
not necessary anymore.
* Only allow a single writer to the pkgdb to avoid concurrency issues
when performing multiple write transactions (install, update or remove).
Processes that cannot acquire the lock will get an EAGAIN error.
* Do not continue the transaction if downloading a binpkg/signature file
has failed for some reason, stop and return error immediately.
xbps-0.32 (2014-02-21):
* Fixed a bug in xbps_pkgpattern_name() where a string with some special
chars would result in a crash (reported by Gottox).
* Do the package removal in two phases: the first phase checks the
user has write permission to the entries being removed, if this
succeeds then the package removal is performed.
* xbps-remove(1): -O now also remove obsolete pkg signatures from
cachedir, and ignores pkgs of other architectures.
* xbps-rindex(1): set correct permissions to the POSIX semaphore
by clearing file permission bits before its creation.
xbps-0.31 (2014-02-01):
* xbps-rindex(1): use a POSIX named semaphore in modes that can modify
