Fallback mirrors are those mirrors mainly used for providing packages
while other, main mirrors are still syncing. They are usually hosted
inside the same infrastructure where the repository is run and
are usually quite bandwidth constrained.
Through packages.db.fallback_mirrors file, configurable from inside
the repository database directory (server-side) it's now possible
to list these mirrors and make Entropy Client always use them with
the least priority possible.
Through /etc/entropy/packages/packages.server.sets it's now possible
to list package sets that a repository must always expose.
A QA check has been added inside the repository sync function, in
entropy.server.interfaces.mirrors package.
Just use conf/packages/packages.server.sets.example as example
file to build your configuration.
- update TODO
Entropy/entropyConstants:
- remove conflicting_tagged_packages from etpConst and move to a 'per-repo' config file
Entropy/SystemSettings:
- handle new conflicting tagged packages file per-repo
Entropy/RepoInterface:
- when syncing the repo, download the new conflicting tagged packages file
Entropy/ServerInterface:
- handle the new conflicting tagged packages file (upload/download)
git-svn-id: http://svn.sabayonlinux.org/projects/entropy/trunk@2911 cd1c1023-2f26-0410-ae45-c471fc1f0318
- move cache files extension string to etpConst
- fix the Entropy code accordingly
Entropy/EntropyCacher:
- add sync method to force a cache flush
- implement a thread lock to be thread-safe
Entropy/EquoInterface:
- fix a bug with cache cleaning after masking/unmasking packages
- scan PackageSettings at every instance load to ensure proper settings reads
- get_masked_packages_tree: some speed improvements
- is_match_masked_by_user: new method, makes easy to check if a package has been masked by the user
- is_match_unmasked_by_user: same as above, new method
- mask_match, unmask_match: rewrite the management of package masking and make possible to mask a package from the interface too (only unmask was previously implemented)
- mask_match, unmask_match: make possible to mask/unmask by key + slot coupling (app-foo/foo:2)
Entropy/EntropyDatabaseInterface:
- improve speed of idpackageValidator child methods

update TODO
Entropy/EntropyDatabaseInterface:
- slightly improve atomMatch speed
- add method uniformBranch
Entropy/EquoInterface:
- fix a small type issue in dependencies_test (nothing relevant)
- fix a small issue in generate_dependency_tree (nothing to worry about)
git-svn-id: http://svn.sabayonlinux.org/projects/entropy/trunk@2804 cd1c1023-2f26-0410-ae45-c471fc1f0318
- update TODO
Entropy/System Packages:
- add user configurable system packages through /etc/entropy/packages/system.mask
git-svn-id: http://svn.sabayonlinux.org/projects/entropy/trunk@2799 cd1c1023-2f26-0410-ae45-c471fc1f0318
- remove the use of list.sort() method in favour of sorted(list)
- implement a per-repository system packages mask, to force clients to install specified packages (like one of the slotted sys-libs/db packages for convenience), consider this an extension to system packages
git-svn-id: http://svn.sabayonlinux.org/projects/entropy/trunk@2721 cd1c1023-2f26-0410-ae45-c471fc1f0318
- started to migrate activator code creating ServerMirrorsInterface
- fixed a typo in conf/packages/packages.db.repo_updates.example
- fixed some stuff in server_reagent.py
ACTIVATOR IS CURRENTLY BROKEN
git-svn-id: http://svn.sabayonlinux.org/projects/entropy/trunk@1561 cd1c1023-2f26-0410-ae45-c471fc1f0318
- add packages.db.repo_updates support to allow adding our custom package moves, like /usr/portage/profiles/updates
there is no need to update equo client side, everything is already in place
git-svn-id: http://svn.sabayonlinux.org/projects/entropy/trunk@1498 cd1c1023-2f26-0410-ae45-c471fc1f0318
- fixed an issue with dependencies calculation cache validation connected to package masking files changes
- added the ability to get masking reasons
- fixed a bug with picking a buffer
- added support for /etc/entropy/packages/license.mask to allow masking packages by their license identifiers
git-svn-id: http://svn.sabayonlinux.org/projects/entropy/trunk@1264 cd1c1023-2f26-0410-ae45-c471fc1f0318
- added license accept request menu
- moved some functions to EquoInterface
- added some functions to handle licenses in the database API
- allow user to accept a license forever
