[pacman-dev] [PATCH] Added a new database backend

Sivert Berg sivertb at stud.ntnu.no
Sat Dec 13 11:35:34 EST 2008


This is an attempt to add a one-file-per-database backend. This leads to
significatly faster loading of the database when the database is not
cached. As you can see from the patch minimal changes to the rest of
ALPM was needed. The only change was to make reading of the changelog
files happen through the backend. The database is basically a scaled
down ext2-like filesystem. To make corruption detection possible in an
early phase I have planned to add a checksum, but have not come that far
yet. I have been using it on my laptop for a week or so now, and
everything seems to be working as expected. I'm sorry it became such a
large patch, but about half of it is mostly old code (be_packed.c is
essentially be_files.c with fopen fprintf etc changed with new
functions).

+ *
+ * If you've ever looked at the ext2 filesystem you will find alot
+ * of similarities (among others the inode that I didn't have the
+ * imagination to find a new name for).
+ *
+ * _GROUP_
+ * Basicly the database is divided into groups. Each group got the
+ * same number of blocks and inodes.
+ *
+ * _INODE_
+ * Each file is assigned an unique inode. The inode got a list of
+ * blocks where the actual data for the file is stored. Worth noting
+ * is that the last entry in the block list is indirect. That means
+ * it points to a block that points to blocks.
