This is a flat buffers inspired format that allows fast
mmaped access to the data with low overhead, signature support
and relatively good forward support.

Document the version when changed. And print error with similar note
if the given repositories-file cannot be read.

fixes #10688

Paul Spooren authored 4 years ago and Timo Teräs committed 4 years ago

On some systems the `/var/` dir is mounted in a tmpfs which is reseted
after each reboot. For that reason no post-install script can handle the
creation of the cache dir at `/var/cache/apk`.

Check on database opnening if the folder is available, if not create it.

It used to be relative to the --root specified root, but that
causes issues with relative command line filenames and is unintuitive.
Update documentation accordingly. Fixes #10702.

Closes #10708.

unintentional regression from commit edb45ae4
fixes #10707

This uses some macro trickery to make sure that there's one-to-one
mapping with the option index enum and the descriptor. The down
side is that enum's are generated via #define's and editors might
not pick them up for auto completion, but the benefits are more:
it's no longer possible have mismatching enum value and descriptor
index, and the amount of source code lines is less.

fixes 12fdf6fc "allow building without help..."

This greatly helps with memory management on applications that
may want to daemonize and open/close database several times.

Also the lifetime and "owner" of memory for all data is now
explicitly bound to owning struct apk_database, which might
be helpful when writing language bindings. As side effect, the
interned "atoms" are unique only within what apk_database, so
comparing packages from different apk_database may not work
as expected.

Fixes #10686 to not use uninitialized value in the error paths.

Fredrik Gustafsson authored 5 years ago and Timo Teräs committed 4 years ago

When creating an index apk warns if a dependency is missing a provider.
However when using a multi-arch repository, it's not an error that
a certain architecture is missing a dependency because that dependency
could be in an other architecture. Since apk index doesn't know about
this, add an argument to disable that warning.

Maintainer note: rebased for new option handling, and minor stylistic
adjustments.

This reduces the number of relocations on PIE binaries, and also
reduces the executable size. Parsing of the options is slightly
sped up as only the exact matching option group parser is called.

Also few minor fixups added.

This creates main help like:
--

usage: apk add [<OPTIONS>...] PACKAGES...

Description:
  apk add adds the requested packages to WORLD and installs (or upgrades)
  them if not already present, ensuring all dependencies are met.
