- Add missing get_root and get_dbpath methods to ALPM.
- Assign proper DB class to DB object returned by a package’s DB accessor.
- Fix $arch and $repo parsing in mirror list.
Fixes by Andrew Gregory. Thank you!
Bugfix for DB::groups infinite while loop.
Fixed by Andrew Gregory. Thank you!
ALPM::strerror had been typo-ed as the old ALPM::alpm_strerror in 03-Package.t. This was preventing errors from being displayed! The package format had been updated slightly, preventing the custom built packages from generating and loading properly.
Reported by Stefan Majewsky. Thank you!
These two functions were causing crashes because of my misuse of a macro that was screwing up the perl stack.
Reported by Radu Andries. Thank you!
The ALPM object method was relocated to the ALPM::DB::Local class and I have renamed it to set_install_reason. This was prompted by the libalpm function name change from alpm_db_set_pkgreason to alpm_pkg_set_reason.
- origin
- validation
- signature
If a dependency is optional, it contains a “desc” entry in the hash reference representation.
The old option “usedelta” was renamed to “deltaratio”. You’ll have to lookup what this means in libalpm because I never use deltas.
I rewrote quit a bit of code in order to continue compatibility with the new pacman 4. This release comes a bit late after pacman 4 but I was seriously considering not updating this module anymore. I no longer use ArchLinux as much as I used to. I tried to keep things as backwards compatible as possible but there were many changes to the API that reflect libalpm’s many API changes.
The ALPM class now creates objects when an instance of ALPM is initialized. In libalpm these are called handles. Here they are simply objects. You will have to change every class method (ALPM->foo) to use an ALPM object method instead ($alpm->foo). Luckily I decided to use class methods years ago so this will be less painful.
This makes things more difficult for me. Given an ALPM::DB object, if you call a method on that object and the method fails, I cannot croak an error message internally because the ALPM handle is not available.
Packages groups are now simply lists of packages. When you lookup one specific group then a list is returned. When querying every single group (i.e. with ALPM::DB’s groups method) a list of name/value pairs is returned to store it into a hash.
Tests were failing to work when using a different PKGEXT.
A minor problem I found.
Converted to the new libalpm that is distributed with pacman 3.5.
You don’t have to call ALPM->register() to register the local DB. The local DB is registered automatically when you call ALPM->localdb aka ALPM->get_opt( ‘localdb’ ). ALPM::ParseConfig no longer takes the ‘autoregister’ parameter.
The two new ALPM::Transaction methods, install and uninstall, replace the old sync, pkgfile, remove, and sync_from_db methods.
The new methods take package objects as arguments. The old methods took package names as arguments. This reflects the same libalpm changes.
For some reason I made aliases everytime I changed a function name. I don’t think anyone uses this module anyways so I just yanked out a bunch of old method aliases I had setup. The following are removed from the ALPM class, just use their alternate names.
| Removed Method | “New” Method |
|---|---|
| register_db | register |
| transaction | trans |
| action | trans |
| databases | dbs |
| repodb | db |
Ditched the old GNU-style ChangeLog format for an org-mode file. Old ChangeLog entries are at the end of the file…
2011-03-05 Justin Davis <[email protected]>
- RELEASE (1.03)
- t: Fix many tests that rely on English language error messages.
- lib/ALPM/LoadConfig.pm (_make_parser): Change the pacman.conf
parser to properly recognize fields which are only field names. “= <value>” does not necessary follow them.
2011-03-04 Justin Davis <[email protected]>
- RELEASE (1.02)
- lib/ALPM/LoadConfig.pm: Fix bug where config file repos could
not have hyphens (“-“). Reported by knotty.
2010-11-21 Justin Davis <[email protected]>
- lib/ALPM/Package.pm (attribs): Fix attribs to return a list and
not an array reference.
2010-06-22 Justin Davis <[email protected]>
- lib/ALPM.pm (transaction): Removed type parameter from
transaction method.
- ALPM.xs: Renamed ALPM::DB method set_server to add_url.
2010-05-29 Justin Davis <[email protected]>
- RELEASE (0.08): Uploaded to CPAN.
- typemap (find_group): Fix a bug with group type conversion.
This caused ALPM::DB::find_group() to croak instead of (properly) returning undef when given a group name that didn’t exist. Reported by Andre Schmidt. Thanks!
2010-05-24 Justin Davis <[email protected]>
- ALPM.xs (ALPM::Package): Renamed compute_requiredby method to
requiredby.
2010-05-02 Justin Davis <[email protected]>
- t/04-FakeRepos.t: Add support for .pkg.tar.xz package files.
- lib/ALPM/LoadConfig.pm: Add support for UseDelta setting in
pacman.conf.
2010-01-25 Justin Davis <[email protected]>
- t/04-FakeRepos.t (create_repos): Fixed problems with test
04-FakeRepos where packages would fail to build. Changed generated test packages to arch “any” so we don’t have to check our arch.
- Makefile.PL: “make clean” will now delete the test repository
share directories (t/repos/share) and the test root directory (t/root) automatically.
2010-01-04 Justin Davis <[email protected]>
- 0.5 (RELEASE)
- lib/ALPM/LoadConfig.pm (_make_parser): Tweaked regex to accept empty values.
Removed error when an unknown field name is given.
- lib/ALPM.pm: Added ability to set usedelta option, which was missing.
- Makefile.PL: Added repository URL to the META.yml.
- t/07-TiedOptions.t: Hides the warning for the last test using $SIG{__WARN__}.
- t/04-FakeRepos.t (create_repos): Fixed a bug where I must use
the –asroot option when running makepkg inside makepkg, because of fakeroot.
2009-10-29 Justin Davis <[email protected]>
- 0.4: Released version 0.4
2009-10-08 Justin Davis <[email protected]>
- lib/ALPM.pm (transaction): ‘flags’ are now passed as a string
of flag names separated by spaces. Added the sysupgrade transaction ‘type’.
- ALPM.xs: Added conv and progress callbacks for transactions.
2009-09-03 Justin Davis <[email protected]>
- ALPM.xs: s/alpm_pkg_get_/alpm_pkg_/;
- lib/ALPM/DB.pm: Renamed get_pkg_cache() to packages().
- lib/ALPM.pm: Changed methods local_db to localdb, get_sync_dbs
to syncdbs, get_repo_db to repodb, and added search.
- Updated to version 3.30 of pacman. The upgrade changes
many constants and functions.
- I have declared war on the get_ named methods. It seems silly
to have all these get_ methods when there is no set_ method for anything except ALPM options (whose prefix I will keep).
2005-08-05 Justin Davis <[email protected]> 0.03
- Added transaction support with ALPM::Transaction.
- Implemented callback options to ALPM and also transaction
callbacks using the transaction() method.
- Created tied hash interface to ALPM options just for fun.
2009-07-15 Justin Davis <[email protected]> 0.02
- Added ALPM::LoadConfig which is used to load pacman.conf config files
2009-05-03 Justin Davis <[email protected]> 0.01
- First public release, uploading to CPAN
- Has just about everything working except syncing/transactions
