still todo:
  - 'fix' is missing
  - 'del -R' does not work
  - 'upgrade' does not do self-upgrade first

... and a lot of testing.

This applet can be used to generate data for graphviz tools.
Useful to visualize package dependencies, and possible errors
in the repository.

Usage examples:
  apk dot gnome-desktop | tred | dot -Tpng gnome-desktop.png
    -- to generate simplified dependency chart of gnome-desktop
  apk dot --errors | dot -Tpng index-errors.png
    -- to generate chart visualizing dependency errors in index

remount to read-write before trying to create the cache directory
subdirs. fix a fd leak that might prevent remounting back to rw.

This is so we can do x86 --root installs on x86_64 hosts.

Using --arch without --root can make great damage so we only enable it
if --root is used.

.. and back to read-only after finishing with modifications.

fixes #512

if package arch is not set, do not append anything to repository.
if arch is set, it is appended to repository.

Parse install_if from package metadata and include it in the
indexes. Also setup the reverse install_if dependencies when
loading a database. ref #443.

Actual install_if functionality is not yet implemented.

Just disable installation of packages using the new stuff. Also
flag lower case package info fields as non-critical and allow
installation even if that features is not supported.

 - implement a hash table for commonly shared fields such as
   license, version and architecture
 - use macroes to print blobs or pkgname-pkgver strings
 - fix some old cruft

Architecture is now:
 - parsed from .PKGINFO
 - written to index and installed db
 - appended to repository URL when fetching files

Unsigned indexes should not be needed anymore anyway.

The hash is 'unsigned long' everywhere which is 64-bits (on 64-bit
boxes). Fix the one instance of it being 'unsigned int' since that
would be 32-bit and cause lookup failures on 64-bit boxes.

Otherwise we end up using wrong uid/gid mappings when doing install
to alternate system root. Fixes #434.

we do not create mirror repositories from other valid repositories,
not from what was installed locally.

ability embed description information to repository indexes
(e.g. repository name and version) and show it via "apk version -I".

allow also overriding old (possibly bad) world dependency.
hopefully it's more bullet proof now.

this makes the database package entry smaller, and we propbably
get more fields to installed_package later too. this cleans up
the way scripts are stored and is a preparation for supporting
triggers. some parsing for trigger meta-data. ref #45.

this helps boots sequence when network is not available.

so user can override trusted keys directory and repositories file.

also makes it possibly to upgrade package without adding it to
top-level deps. fixes #69.

this way we never change cwd, and relative filenames are always
parsed consistently. this also helps filename construction in many
places. this patch also changes '--root' to override location of
all configuration to be in the new root. previously it depended
on the file which one was used.

and use it for /etc/init.d by default. fixes #99.

use the package 'installed_size' == 0 as a test instead for
dependency only packages.

this enables virtual packages and files specified from command
line to work on non-harddisk installs.

make sure cache is enabled on non-permanent rootfs setups.
some optimizations and fixes too.

prefer index in the new format as signed .tar.gz.

change the index generation to do old index, or the new style index
where package identity is sha1 of control block and it's contained
within an .tar.gz to allow signing in future.

this also convers scripts file to a tar archive.

avoid recalculating hashes, and store the lengths of names, so
we can optimize some operations.

some fixes on index reading code too.
