-/etc/xipkg.conf
- for xipkg config
-
-in config define repo sources like this:
- <source name>: <url or filepath>
-
-eg:
- davidovski: https://xi.davidovski.xyz/repo/
-
-
-then specify repos that should be loaded:
- repos: core extra other
-
-/var/lib/xipkg
- to contain all working files:
-
-/var/lib/xipkg/packages
- "working dir" to keep xipkg files and xipkg.info
- will look something like this:
- packages/
- core/
- extra/
-
-
-/var/lib/xipkg/keychain
-place to store publickeys for sources.
-
-/var/lib/xipkg/installed/<pkg name>
- /info - info about the package that has been installed to the system
- /files - text file with all the files that it installed to the sysetm (for later removal purposes)
-
-
-sync
--------
-
-go to each source and list packages in a repo
-find the most popular package hashes
-
-
-download all keys
-
-install
--------
-
-if a xipkg file is specified and there is a corresponding .info as well, it will install it directly
-if its a url, then download the xipkg file and its .info
-
-if its a package name:
- check if it exists,
- if that package name exists in multiple repos, then prompt to ask which repo to take from
-
-to check a package is already installed, search for its name in /var/lib/xipkg/installed
-
-to install package need to:
- - find the package in a place in /var/lib/xipkg/packages
- - find all dependencies and subdependecies in a tree, and repeat install for any that are missing
-
- - aquire .xipkg from correct source (look for the xipkg.info.source)
-
- - verify that the hash of xipkg is right
-
- - check against every publickey in /var/lib/xipkg/keychain (maybe better ideas?)
-
- - untar the xipkg
- - list all package's files in xipkg into /var/lib/xipkg/installed/<pkg name>/files
- - copy the pkginfo to /var/lib/xipkg/installed/<pkg name>
- ( do not use a symlink since later syncs can make the information inacurate)
- - copy all the files into their place on the system
- (actually install the package)
-
- - make an install reciept that contains:
- * the source that the package was downloaded from
- * the key that was used to validate the package
- * the date the package was installed
- * the user that installed the package
- * if the package was installed as a dependency
- * other info?
-
- - ?? run some post install scripts??
- - ?? clean up??
-
-remove
-------
-
-find the package's installed files in /var/lib/xipkg/installed/<pkg name>/files and remove them from the system
-(? maybe check if other packages need them, and dont remove then?)
-
-remove all the info from /var/lib/xipkg/installed/<pkg name>
-
-(? check )
-
-upgrade
--------
-do a sync
-if a package is specified, only upgrade that one package
-
-packages need updates when the hash listed in the package sync is different to the installed
-
-create a dependency tree and try upgrade core packages first (shouldnt matter really, since upgrading shouldnt have any dependencies other than xipkg and its subdependencies)
-
-to upgrade a package find that package in the repo and compare its pkginfo with the installed's package info
-
-if the VERSION_HASH is different then upgrade (guessing newer)
-if the CHECKSUM is different AND the date is newer then upgrade (a different checksum with an older date could be a mistake)
-
-(cant rely only on version hash, because the way that the package was built can be changed)
-
-
-force-upgrade
-------------
-(! needs a better name)
-
-just removes the package and then installs it again
-
-file
-------
-searches for a file to install
-(!!! REQUIRES SOME KIND OF FILE DATABASE)
