Thanks for the patch. What did you wrap the comments to? We normally wrap the doxygen to about 80 columns just like the code. I have concerns about some of the specific documentation explained below. On 08/14/13 at 03:10pm, Richard Pougnet wrote:

This already has full doxygen documentation in alpm.h. Unfortunately, we have several functions like this with real documentation in alpm.h and a stub at the function definition.

This neither loads nor extracts a *package*. It extracts a single file from an already loaded package. Filename and origname aren't the name of the archive or package; they're the path to the file being extracted.

There should be a blank line here.

The overwhelming bulk of this function is about the proper handling of backup files. The description should acknowledge that fact.

Why did you remove the blank lines?

This doesn't just "upgrade a package". This function is responsible for the entire actual installation process of all of the packages being installed.
