Hi! Since the patch is quite long and it depends on my working branch, I don't send it here directly. It can be found in my repo (it is a new branch): http://repo.or.cz/w/pacman-ng.git ---quote--- Remove pmsyncpkg_t pmsyncpkg_t data sructure was removed: 1. pmpkg_t.reason is used instead of pmsyncpkg_t.newreason. (The target packages come from sync repos, so we can use this field without any problems. Upgrade transaction also uses this field to store this info.) 2. pmsyncpkg_t.removes was moved to pmpkg_t.removes. This step requires careful programming, because we don't duplicate packages when we add them to trans->packages. So we modify sync pkgcache when we add this transaction-only info to our package. Hence it is important to free this list when we remove any package from the target list (remove_unresolvable, remove_conflicts, trans_free), otherwise this could confuse the new sync transactions (with non-pacman GUI). Overall, our code became ~100 line shorter, and we can call our helper functions directly on trans->packages in sync.c, we don't need to maintain parallel package lists. ---------- I simply merged pmsyncpkg_t to pmpkg_t, so the code became notable cleaner(?) and shorter, but I am not very satisfied, see the commit message. Bye
