pkgin (probably not weekly) news 2

And here we are for week 2 !

There have been some fixes last week, issues were mainly spotted by orgrim, thanks to him !

The big one concerns a type of dewey/glob I’ve never been through before:

Until now, I was able to handle the following (from pkg_str.c)

As there was no “easy” way of handling those double-globs dependencies, I took a simple approach: resolve dependency with a matching package when the pattern is too complex (sqlite_callback.c):

Only drawback, this takes a bit more time, but at last, there’s no possible error on dependency resolution. Maybe there’s some more optimizations I can do to reduce time taken with this mapping.

As planned, pkgin now depends on pkgsrc’s pkg_install, and the latter is pushed on top of the upgrade-list if there’s a new version. I also fixed the many-versions-of-the-same-package problem with the following query (pkgindb_queries.c)

Needs to be done:

• Tests, tests, tests !
• reproduce and fix 2 different bugs two users had; I’ve been unable to reproduce them at the moment
• test Minix 3.2.0
