Hey all. I've broken my change into 5 patches, which have already been sent to the list.
The big one is patch #2, which adds the new ignore logic to deps.c. Although the number of lines edited is large, it's just the addition of a new data structure, some helper methods, and a rework of _alpm_resolvedeps(). There is no way to reduce the size of this patch.
I hope that these patches are satisfactory. If you'd just give them a try they should merge nicely into your tree. Create a branch and merge them in and test them out. That's what git is good at right?!?
Please note that these patches replace all previous patches I've sent to this list.
Thanks, Bryan
Hi Bryan, The main patch (#2) is too complex for me to review, but on accepting that as is, the other patches look quite reasonable. I will give them a proper spin when I do a testing build later. I just wanted to point out that you should not to get too discouraged about the number of resubmits required for your patches. Everybody who submits patches here goes through the same thing, especially with their first patch and yours are quite ambitious. You should see the changes required any time I touch the pacman code... Keep up the good work, Allan
