[pacman-dev] sync_prepare clean-up III, TODO

[Nagy Gabor]

Hi!
Well, the remaining part is very messy and disappointing:
The whole conflict checking should be refactored: as I assume this wants to do 
something similar to checkdeps(...TRANS_TYPE_UPDATE), but that is buggy: this 
should be fixed as deps.c (conflict001.py shows this.)
However, as Xavier said earlier a new data stucture is needed for conflicts; 
and all conflict resolve stuff should be moved to conflict.c.
The second pactest file shows checkdeps cannot get enough information from 
sync.c to figure out if there is any broken dependency: it should know BOTH the 
remove and upgrade list to decide properly.
Well, both of this bugs needs hard work: a proper conflict resolution is a 
difficult (probably recursive) problem, it would be easier to let user do this 
work manually.
Bye, ngaba
PS: I don't like inefficient pmsyncpkg_t neither.
