2009-01-12Rename alpm_get_md5sum to alpm_compute_md5sum and alpm_dep_get_string to ↵Nagy Gabor
alpm_dep_compute_string This patch introduces the following function name convention: _compute_ in function name: the return value must be freed. _get_ in function name: the return value must not be freed.

2008-11-30Add regex to delta code so we don't segfault when reading lineDan McGee
If the delta line doesn't match our regex, we won't go and process it, possibly walking off the end of the string. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2008-06-04Use correct C type for file sizesDan McGee
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.

2008-04-26Completely rework delta algorithmChantry Xavier
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.

2008-04-26Rework delta struct and modify code accordinglyDan McGee
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 allow us much greater flexibility in the usage of deltas (maybe even sync DBs some day) as well as allowing code outside of delta.h/delta.c to be much cleaner with less of a need for snprintf() calls.

2008-01-21Convert deltas to dynamic allocationDan McGee
Another elimination of a static length structure in libalpm. Should result in a little more memory saved during execution of packages with lots of deltas attached. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
2007-12-21Fix memory leak in shortest_delta_path.Nathan Jones
It is possible for the if statement to never succeed, causing path to never be freed. It is also possible for the if statement to succeed more than once per loop, which could have caused a segfault. Signed-off-by: Nathan Jones <nathanj@insightbb.com> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>

2007-11-17Generalized alpm_list_find.Nagy Gabor
The old alpm_list_find was renamed to alpm_list_find_ptr, and a new alpm_list_find was introduced, which uses the fn comparison-function parameter in its decision. Now both alpm_list_find_ptr (a new ptrcmp helper function was also added) and alpm_list_find_str are just an alpm_list_find call.

2007-10-29libalpm: introduce MALLOC and CALLOC macrosDan McGee
These macros take the place of the common 4 or 5 line blocks of code we had in most places that called malloc or calloc. This should reduce some code duplication and make memory allocation more standard in libalpm. Highlights: * Note that the MALLOC macro actually uses calloc, this is just for safety so that memory is initialized to 0. This can be easily changed in one place. * One malloc call was completely eliminated- it made more sense to do it on the stack. * The use of RET_ERR in public functions (mainly the alpm_*_new functions) was standardized, this makes sense so pm_errno is set.
