[pacman-dev] [PATCH v2 0/2] Save backup files with extension .pacsave.n

[Pang Yan Han]

This is a 2 patch series which teaches pacman to save backup files with extension
.pacsave.n

Patch 1/2 introduces _alpm_mbasename and _alpm_mdirname from src/pacman/util.c
into libalpm. These 2 functions are used in Patch 2/2.

Patch 2/2 teaches pacman to save backup files with extension .pacsave.n
We look at the existing <name>.pacsave files, find the largest n, and rename each
existing <name>.pacsave.n file to <name>.pacsave.n+1 . If <name>.pacsave exists,
it shall be renamed to <name>.pacsave.1 . The newest backup file is then saved
as <name>.pacsave .
