[pacman-dev] [PATCH 0/4] Package list find performance improvements
by Dan McGee 14 Dec '10

14 Dec '10

This series of patches makes finding a package in our linked list implementation a whole lot faster, if that search is using the standard _alpm_pkg_find, which nearly all are (after the first patch). It does this by adding a hash function to util.c which is nothing too complicated and named after a publicly available algorithm. When packages are created, we fill in this hash value as soon as the pkgname is read. Finally, the _alpm_pkg_find function is rewritten to take advantage of this field, avoiding repeated strcmp() calls and only falling back to that if a hash is not available and to verify the hash value was not some sort of collision. Performance figures and numbers are available in the last patch. This actually speeds up operations by nearly 33%, so this is not a total waste of time to consider. :) Review and questions/comments/concerns welcome! -Dan Dan McGee (4): Use _alpm_pkg_find in deps search Add hash_sdbm function When setting package name, set hash value as well Used hashed package name in _alpm_pkg_find lib/libalpm/be_package.c | 1 + lib/libalpm/deps.c | 4 ++-- lib/libalpm/package.c | 16 ++++++++++++++-- lib/libalpm/package.h | 1 + lib/libalpm/util.c | 22 ++++++++++++++++++++++ lib/libalpm/util.h | 1 + 6 files changed, 41 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) -- 1.7.3.3

[pacman-dev] Misleading info when epoch is used
by Nagy Gabor 14 Dec '10

14 Dec '10

$ sudo pacman -Su warning: supertuxkart: local (0.6.2a-2) is newer than community (0.7rc1-1) What? First I thought that our vercmp code is buggy, but vercmp binary worked as expected. Then I figured out that my local package has epoch=1, but the epoch is unset on the community package (so this seems to be a packager bug). So the above message is simply misleading (probably this is not the only one). It would be better to switch to a default version printing: "0.6.2a-2 [epoch=1]", or "1#0.6.2a-2" etc. In fact I don't like neither force nor epoch. Epoch is just a version prefix, why don't we let the packager to workaround this (KISS)? We can introduce a new separator (now we have one: '.'), for example '#', and let the packager define his favourite pkgversion (maybe epoch in mind), like "1#0.6.2a-2". Epoch just complicates code and leads to "wtf" imho... NG

Add some more checks and passing of error conditions between our functions. When a libarchive warning is encountered, check if it is due to lack of disk space and if so upgrade it to an error condition. A review of other libarchive warnings suggests that these are less critical and can remain as informative warning messages at this stage. Note the presence of errors after extraction of an entire package is complete. If so, we abort the transaction to be on the safe side and keep damage to a minimum.

Some minor approximations have been made: 1. Size for directories is not considered when removing a package from the filesystem to avoid multiple counting across packages. Also, these are reported to take zero size while installing. 2. Symlinks are reported to contribute zero size towards removal as libarchive reports them to have zero size for install. 3. Package data files (.PKGINFO, .INSTALL, .CHANGELOG) are counted towards usage on dbpath on install, but their size is not counted on package removal. 4. No handling of extra size needed for .pacsave/.pacnew files.

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] Fix possible null pointer deref in check_arch
by Dan McGee 11 Dec '10

11 Dec '10

If we have a corrupted database, a package can come through without an arch, causing the code to blow up when making strcmp() calls. It might even be possible with perfectly valid database entries lacking an 'arch =' line. This behavior was seen as at least one of the problems in FS#21668. Ensure pkgarch is not null before doing anything further.

[pacman-dev] Alternative dependencies.
by Xyne 10 Dec '10

10 Dec '10

Hi, Would it be possible to implement support for alternative dependencies, e.g. a package that could use either wget or curl to handle downloads? I'm not asking for this to be implemented. I'm just asking whether there are any technical limitations to such an approach. I know that "provides" can be used to do this, e.g. openjdk6 and jre both provide java-runtime to satisfy that dependency in other packages. The approach is limited though. Using the example above, we couldn't simply add "provides=('download-client')" to both curl and wget because they are not interchangeable. The basic usage case is when an application is capable of detecting any one of a number of different external apps that it can use to satisfy a given dependency. There is currently no way to depend on "at least one" of those. I can imagine a very simple syntax for this too, e.g. "depends=('curl || wget')" so the question is whether the dependency-handling mechanism could be adapted to check for alternatives. If none are found, it could probably use the upcoming "provides" selection dialogue to allow the user to choose the desired dependency. So, would that be possible? Also, would that be acceptable? Again, I'm not asking anyone to do this. I'm just inquiring about the possibility. Regards, Xyne
