Pkgcore

----------------------------

- eapi2 is now supported.

- DepSet has grown a temp option named allow_src_uri_file_names; this
is to support eapi 2's -> SRC_URI extension. This functionality
will under go refactoring in the coming days- as such the api addition
isn't considered stable.

- we now match the forced phase ordering portage induced via breaking
eapi compatibilty for eapi0/1.

- tightened up allowed atom syntax; repository dep is available only when
eapi is unspecified (no longer available in eapi2 in other words).
atom USE dep parsing now requires it to follow slotting- this is done to
match the other EAPI2 standard.

Beyond that, better error msgs and tighter validation.


----------------------------

----------------------------

- pkgcore now properly preserves ownership of symlinks on merging.
ensure_perms plugins now need to handle symlinks (lchown at the least).

- free resolver caches after resolution is finished; lower the memory
baseline for pmerge.

- fix up interface definitions for >snakeoil-0.2 dependant_methods changes.
Via these cleanups and >snakeoil-0.2, memory usage is massively decreased
for pmerge invocations.

- swallow EPIPE in pquery when stdout is closed early.


----------------------------

----------------------------

- Disable fakeroot tests due to odd behaviour, and the fact it's currently
unused.

- Fix installation issue for manpages for python2.4; os.path.join behaviour
differs between 2.4 and 2.5.

- Kill off large memory leak that reared its head per pkg merge; still is
a bit of a leak remaining, but nothing near as bad as before.


----------------------------

----------------------------

- fix sandbox complaint when PORT_LOGDIR is enabled- sandbox requires abspath
for any SANDBOX_WRITE exemptions, if PORT_LOGDIR path includes symlinks,
force a `readlink -f` of the sandbox exemption.

- ticket 213; if stricter is in FEATURES, fail out if insecure rpath is
detected- otherwise, correct the entries.

- ticket 207; drop the attempted known_keys/cache optimizations, instead
defer to parent's iterkeys always. This eliminates the concurrency issue,
and simplifies staleness detection. Also kills off a tb for --newuse .

- ticket 201; pquery --restrict-revdep-pkgs wasn't behaving properly for
slot/repository/user atoms, now does.

- Correct potential segfaults in cpython version of PackageRestriction and
StrExactMatch's __(eq|ne)__ implementations.


----------------------------

----------------------------

- incremental_expansion and friends have grown a cpython implementation-
this speedup will show up if you are doing lots of profile work (pcheck
for example, which has to read effectively all profile).

- if the invoking user isn't part of the portage group, don't throw a
traceback due to permission denied for virtuals cache.

- correct a false positive in pkgcore.test.util.test_commandline that occurs
when snakeoil c extensions aren't enabled.

- ticket 193; follow symlinks in /etc/portage/\*/ directories.

- ticket 203; functionfoo() {:;} is not function 'foo', it's 'functionfoo'.
Users shouldn't have seen this- thanks to ferdy for spotting it in an audit.

- add 'skip_if_source' option to misc. binpkg merging triggers- defaults to
True, controls whether or not if a pkg from the target_repo should be
reinstalled to the repo.

- make contentsSet.map_directory_structure go recursive-
this fixes ticket 204, invalid removal of files previously just merged.

- make --newuse work with atoms/sets

- add a cpy version of incremental_expansion

- fix longstanding bug - finalize settings from make.conf, stopping negations
from being parsed twice. Without this fix, -* in a setting will negate
random flags set after it.

- allow / in repo ids

- don't show flags from previous versions of packages in --pretend output -
it's confusing and doesn't match portage behaviour.

- fix ticket 192: ignore nonexistent files in config protect checking


----------------------------

----------------------------

- eapi1 bug fix; check for, and execute if found, ./configure if ECONF_SOURCE
is unset.
