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>
