[pacman-dev] [PATCH 0/5] Properly detect conflicts with directory symlinks

[Allan McRae]

This series of patches make pacman perform conflict checking with all directory
paths resovled.  This means that inter-package conflicts such as /lib/foo and
/usr/lib/foo when /lib -> usr/lib are detected.  Similarly, if a package moves
a file from /lib/foo to /usr/lib/foo when /lib -> usr/lib (i.e. the file is
effectively the same), this is no longer detected as a conflict with the
filesystem.

A big thanks to Andrew for fixing my initial attempt at the resolving of the
filelist and making my idea for efficiently storing paths that are unchanged
by resolving a reality.

Allan McRae (3):
  Add resolved_path to alpm_filelist_t
  Resolve file paths during inter-package conflict check
  Avoid upgrade conflict with unchanged effective path

Andrew Gregory (2):
  Add _alpm_filelist_resolve
  _alpm_filelist_resolve: use original filenames where possible
