[pacman-dev] alpm_db_get_pkgcache and alpm_db_get_grpcache rename

[Sebastian Nowicki]

Hi,

Recently the alpm_db_get_{pkg,grp}cache() functions were renamed to  
alpm_db_get_{pkg,grp}cache()[1]. Since this is a public API change,  
shouldn't the old functions perhaps simply be deprecated and "alias"  
the new functions, instead of dropping them completely? I'd imagine  
this would potentially break some front-ends if libalpm gets updated,  
as was the case with a project of mine.
