2012-08-02  Earnie Boyd  <earnie@users.sourceforge.net>

        Find missing.m4 in build-aux/m4 directory.

        * aclocal.m4: Change path  m4/missing.m4 to build-aux/m4/missing.m4.

2012-07-31  Earnie Boyd  <earnie@users.sourceforge.net>

        Disable globbing of command line arguments.

        * src/clistub.c (_CRT_glob): Define and initialise to zero; we don't
        need globbing, and it may cause case transliteration of case-sensitive
        action keywords, when a file system entity with a case-insensitively
        matching name exists.

2012-06-02  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Refactor API to facilitate implementation of GUI ListView hooks.

        within this method of the concrete derived class, whence use it.
        (pkgDirectoryViewerEngine, pkgDirectory): Factor class declarations...
        * src/pkglist.h: ...into this new header file; include it.

        * src/pkgbase.h (pkgDirectory): Add forward class declaration.

        (pkgOpts::IsSet): New inline method; implement it.

        * src/clistub.c (main): Reimplement --desktop and --start-menu
        options; each now becomes an OPTION_GENERIC optarg string store.
        (set_script_hook): Function no longer used; delete it; delegate to...
        * src/pkgbase.h (pkgXmlDocument::EstablishPreferences): ...this new
        method; declare it, providing its implementation in...
        * src/pkgopts.cpp: ...this new file; invoke it...
        * src/climain.cpp (climain): ...here.

        * Makefile.in (CORE_DLL_OBJECTS): Add pkgopts.$OBJEXT

2012-04-30  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Correct sequence of installation/removal progress reporting.

        * src/pkgunst.cpp (pkgRemove): Delay output of "removing package ..."

        the scheduling of installation activities.

        * src/pkgexec.cpp (pkgXmlDocument::Schedule): Add temporary diagnostic
        hooks to confirm request flags; bracket them with #if 0 ... #endif.
        [ACTION_PRIMARY && pre-scheduled request]: Don't trash request flags

        (gui.exe): Link to compiled icon's object file.
        (SRCDIST_SUBDIRS): Add icons directory.

2012-04-15  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Ensure that package removal requests are correctly scheduled.

        * src/pkgdeps.cpp (pkgXmlDocument::Schedule) [ACTION_REMOVE]: Schedule
        as a distinct case, when the installed version is not the most recent
        available release; consideration of this distinct case was previously
        erroneously overlooked.

2012-04-15  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Correct scheduling of new prerequisites when upgrading.

        (MINGW_GET_DESKTOP_HOOK, MINGW_GET_START_MENU_HOOK): ...these new
        internally assigned environment variables.
        (help_text): Document --desktop and --start-menu.

        * scripts/libexec/setup.lua scripts/libexec/wsh.lua: New lua module
        files; they implement a lua scripting API; they delegate requests to
        the Windows Scripting Host, via either of this pair of...
        * scripts/libexec/shlink.js: ...new script to create shortcuts, or...
        * scripts/libexec/unlink.js: ...its complement, to remove them.
        * Makefile.in (SRCDIST_SUBDIRS): Integrate them; enumerate them in...
        (scripts_srcdir, LIBEXEC_SCRIPTS): ...these new macros; use to...
        (install): ...install them.

2012-04-06  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        (get_version_bounds): ...this new static inline function...
        ...to acquire any user specified version bounds, check that they can
        be honoured, before scheduling any action; delegate diagnostics to...
        (dmh_notify_no_match): ...this new local helper function, to report
        when they can't, and to indicate viable alternatives.

2012-03-26  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        (ACTION_RECURSIVE_REPLACE): New action code constants; define them.
        (with_flags): Original macro deleted; replace it with...
        (with_request_flags): ...this new static inline function.
        (if_noref, if_match, if_alias, with_download, promote): New static

        * src/pkgexec.cpp (reinstall_action_scheduled): New inline function.
        (pkgActionItem::Execute): Use it to identify cases where...
        [--reinstall]: ...implicit package removal is required, and also to
        facilitate improved progress reporting in such cases.

        * src/pkgdeps.cpp (is_recursive_action): New inline function.
        (pkgXmlDocument::ResolveDependencies): Use it in tandem with...
        (recursive_mode): ...this new automatic variable, so as to handle...
        [meta-package dependency]: ...implicit recursion, to extend the scope
        of the current action to the first level of non-meta dependency.
        [install --reinstall]: ...reinstall original version of nominated
        package, ignoring any available upgrade; extend scope of operation...
        [install --reinstall --recursive]: ...to all prerequisite packages.
        [upgrade --reinstall]: ...upgrade nominated package if possible; if no
        upgrade available, reinstall current version; extend scope...
        [upgrade --reinstall --recursive]: ...to all prerequisites.
        (pkgXmlDocument::Schedule): Partially revert 2012-03-05 change;
        reimplement selectively; never promote...
        [install, install --reinstall]: ...these operations to become...
        [upgrade]: ...this, even if available; issue diagnostic instead.

2012-03-12  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Rationalise implementation and usage of --all-related option.

        * src/pkgopts.h: Update copyright notice; add year 2012.

        * src/climain.cpp: Update copyright notice; add year 2012.
        (climain) [all-related]: Associate its use exclusively with...
        (source, licence): ...these package processing operations; use...
        (pkgOptions::SetFlags): ...this, to propagate its effect.

2012-03-12  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Don't report failed downloads in respect of virtual packages.

        * src/pkginet.cpp (pkgActionItem::DownloadArchiveFiles): Clear...
        [ACTION_DOWNLOAD]: ...this status flag for any package identified as
        a meta-package; this corrects a further regression introduced with the
        2011-11-09 update, whereby pending download requests for such virtual
        packages were not cancelled, resulting in failure to install due to
        failed downloads, when no download is actually required.

2012-03-05  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Don't suppress implied downloads for top-level actions.

        * src/pkgdeps.cpp: Update copyright notice for new year.
        (pkgXmlDocument::Schedule) [!OPTION_PRINT_URIS]: Ensure that...
        [ACTION_DOWNLOAD]: ...this is enabled, when scheduling an install or
        an upgrade action for a package specified as a command line argument;
        this corrects a regression introduced on 2011-11-09, which resulted in
        ACTION_DOWNLOAD being enabled only for second tier dependent actions.

2012-02-20  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Copyright notice updates.

        * Makefile.in: Add 2012 as year of republication.
        * src/pkgbase.h src/sysroot.cpp src/pkgexec.cpp: Likewise.
        * src/rites.c src/pkginst.cpp src/pkgunst.cpp: Likewise.

2012-02-20  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Fix ill-advised optimisation in $APPROOT environment lookup.

        * src/rites.c (approot_path): Don't save result of getenv() lookup
        across calls; the environment may have been moved in the interim,
        making the original result invalid on any subsequent call.  Also,
        prefer MS-Windows style (with backslashes) for default.
        (pkgLastRites): Report full path name for lastrites.exe, on execl()
        failure, rather than only the path relative to $APPROOT.

2012-02-20  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Propagate sysroot path settings to scripts via the environment.

        * src/pkgbase.h (PKG_PUTENV_FLAGS_MASK): New constant; it maps...

        (PKG_PUTENV_SCAN_VARNAME, PKG_PUTENV_NAME_TOUPPER): ...and these;
        they are used to specify optional behavioural choices for...
        (pkgPutEnv): ...this new function; declare it.

        * src/sysroot.cpp (pkgPutEnv): Implement it.
        (pkgXmlDocument::LoadSystemMap): Use it to add $SUBSYSTEM_SYSROOT path
        specifications to the environment, for each named subsystem associated
        with the active system map.

        * src/pkgexec.cpp (pkgActionItem::Execute): Invoke pkgPutEnv() prior
        to processing of each package install, upgrade, or remove action, so
        as to update environment variable $SYSROOT to represent the sysroot
        path for each package processed, during execution of script hooks.

2012-02-17  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Implement hooks to support lua scripting interface.

        * Makefile.in (LIBS): Add -llua.

        * src/pkgbase.h (pkgXmlNode::InvokeScript): New method; declare it
        as private, and provide overloaded public inline API implementation.
        (pkgXmlNode::DispatchScript): New private method; declare it.

        * src/pkgexec.cpp (pkgXmlNode::InvokeScript): Implement it.
        (pkgXmlNode::DispatchScript): Likewise; it directs InvokeScript to...
        (pkgInvokeScript): ...this new static function; implement it.

        * src/pkginst.cpp (pkgInstall): Call InvokeScript as appropriate.
        * src/pkgunst.cpp (pkgRemove): Likewise.

2011-11-24  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Avoid implicit cast warnings; reported by Robert Hartmann.

        * src/dmh.h (DMH_BEGIN_DIGEST): Explicitly cast to uint16_t.
        (DMH_END_DIGEST): Likewise.

2011-11-09  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Avoid unnecessary downloads for already installed packages.

        * src/pkginet.cpp (pkgActionItem::DownloadSingleArchive): Require
        external scheduling of ACTION_DOWNLOAD; cancel the scheduled request
        on completion, or when not required due to pre-existing local copy.

        * src/climain.cpp (pkgActionItem::GetSourceArchive): Must always be
        prepared to download the associated archive; enable ACTION_DOWNLOAD.

        * src/pkgexec.cpp (pkgActionItem::Schedule) [OPTION_REINSTALL]:
        May need to download the archive, even when the requested package was
        previously installed; schedule ACTION_DOWNLOAD to enable this.

        * src/pkgdeps.cpp (promote): Macro redefined in terms of...
        (with_flags, with_download): ...these new macros; implement and...
        (pkgXmlDocument::ResolveDependencies): ...use them to enable/schedule
        ACTION_DOWNLOAD only when expected that it may be necessary.

2011-11-06  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Fix packaging anomalies for source and licence distributions.

        * Makefile.in (licdist): Link README from ${CURDIR}, not from '..'.
        (srcdist): Explicitly link pkginfo.c from ${CURDIR} to src/pkginfo,
        rather than as implied prerequisite; this avoids a bogus attempt to
        link srcdist-doc into src/pkginfo.

2011-11-06  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Bump version number for subsequent CVS snapshots.

2011-11-06  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        mingw-get-0.4-mingw32-alpha-1 released.

        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Adjust version number.
        * srcdist-doc/NEWS.in: Updated; document new features and bugs fixed.
        * All files (r0-4-alpha-1): Tag assigned.

2011-11-04  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Don't upgrade installed DLL components to incompatible version.
        Provide clearer diagnostics for failed requests on implied packages.

        * src/pkgdeps.cpp (is_abi_compatible): New static inline function.
        (pkgXmlDocument::ResolveDependencies) [is_installed]: Use it.
        (pkgXmlDocument::ResolveDependencies) [DEBUG_TRACE_DEPENDENCIES]:
        Clean up and improve diagnostic message content and formatting.
        (pkgXmlDocument::Schedule) [(upgrade || remove) && ! installed]:
        Downgrade diagnostic to WARNING, for implicitly specified component
        packages; provide additional explanatory diagnostics.

        * src/pkgspec.cpp (pkgSpecs::VersionComparator):
        * src/pkgexec.cpp (pkgActionItem::SelectIfMostRecentFit):
        [DEBUG_TRACE_DEPENDENCIES]: Eliminate diagnostic noise.

2011-10-11  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Fix --download-only vs. --reinstall conflict.

        * src/pkgexec.cpp (pkgActionItem::Execute) [OPTION_DOWNLOAD_ONLY]:
        Test for explicit inequality, rather than equality to zero; since the
        2011-08-30 update, which made --download-only also imply --reinstall,
        it will test as non-zero when --reinstall is specified, even though
        --download-only is not.

2011-10-07  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Add support for non-specific upgrade of all installed packages.

        * src/pkgbase.h (pkgXmlDocument::RescheduleInstalledPackages):

        pkgXmlDocument::RescheduleInstalledPackages() to schedule the upgrade
        request for all packages currently registered as installed.

2011-10-06  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Implement "source" and "licence" operations.

        * src/pkgopts.h (OPTION_ALL_DEPS): New option code; define it.
        * src/clistub.c (main): Associate it with...
        (all-related, recursive): ...these synonymous option names...
        (options): ...defined within this local structured array.
        (help_text): Document them; also document "source" and "licence" as
        new operations which may be specified on the command line.

        * src/pkgtask.h (action_source, action_licence): Enumerate them.
        (ACTION_SOURCE, ACTION_LICENCE): Define their manifest values, and...
        * src/pkgexec.cpp (action_name): ...associate with operation names.

        specified packages, as listed on the command line, to primary status.
        (pkgActionItem::Execute): Repeatedly invoke...
        (pkgActionItem::SetAuthorities): ...this; incorporate call of...

        Tidy up some debugging hooks.

        * src/debug.h (DEBUG_INVOKED): New macro; define it.
        (DEBUG_INVOKE_IF): Likewise; this takes arguments providing for

2011-02-15  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Make package version comparisons more robust.

        Fixes an issue reported by Chris Sutcliffe: previously, version
        comparisons were evaluated solely on the basis of differences in the
        package version field itself.  Henceforth, if this field compares as
        equal, then the comparison is extended to also consider differences
        between development phase qualifiers, and, if these too compare as
        equal, to differences in the target subsystem version fields.

        * src/pkginfo/pkginfo.h (pkgSpecs::VersionComparator): New private
        method; declare it.

        (version): ...this static function; now unreferenced; delete it.

        * src/vercmp.h (pkgVersionInfo::pkgVersionInfo): Make it inline; it
        now delegates the entire class construction operation to...
        (pkgVersionInfo::Parse): ...this new private method; declare it.  This
        is also used to facilitate implementation of...
        (pkgVersionInfo::Reset): ...this new inline method, also requiring...
        (pkgVersionInfo::FreeAll): ...this new inline method; also now used by
        the class destructor, it encapsulates separate calls to...
        (pkgVersionInfo::Free): ...this original inline method, renamed...
        (pkgVersionInfo::FreeEntry): ...as this.

        * src/vercmp.cpp (pkgVersionInfo::Parse): Implement it.

        catch block. If dmh_exception is caught, return EXIT_FAILURE.

        * src/clistub.c (main): Capture return value of climain(). If
        non-zero, perform last rites and return EXIT_FAILURE.

2010-08-30  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        (MINGW_GET_DLL, MINGW_GET_GUI): Relocate to `src/rites.c'.

        * src/debug.h (DEBUG_INHIBIT_RITES_OF_PASSAGE):

        no longer included in the distribution manifest.
        (pkgXmlDocument::ResolveDependencies): Fix a block nesting error;
        catch and diagnose unresolved dependencies; don't look beyond the XML

2010-08-17  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Improve scheduling of package processing requests.

        * src/pkgexec.cpp (pkgXmlDocument::Schedule): Inspect entire `actions'

        Lay foundation for selective compilation of debugging code.

        * src/debug.h: New file...

2010-08-15  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        * src/pkgkeys.h: Typo in comment: file was previously identified as

2010-08-12  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Guard against a potential buffer overrun.

        * src/pkgreqs.cpp (pkgSpecs::SetProperty): Allocate an additional
        byte to accommodate an extra field separator, when inserting a new
        data value into a previously empty field.

2010-07-27  Cesar Strauss  <cestrauss@gmail.com>

        Handle the GNU long name tar header format.

        define it.
        (pkgTarArchiveProcessor::EntityDataAsString): New protected method;
        declare and...

        the entry data area, before fetching the following header, from which
        to retrieve the associated entity data.

2010-06-24  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Work around an autoconf bug (reported by Stefano Sabatini).

        * Makefile.in (VPATH): Use @top_srcdir@ instead of ${srcdir}; current
        autoconf incorrectly elides references to @srcdir@ and ${srcdir} when
        substituting within a VPATH specification for building `in-source'.
        Also, prefer colons to blanks as path name separators, for improved
        portability to non-GNU implementations of make; (recommendation by
        Ralf Wildenhues).

2010-06-24  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Include alias search, when matching component package name.

        * src/keyword.c (has_keyword): Rearrange argument declarations for
        more natural order; update all callers accordingly.  Simplify; compare
        keyword to be matched with each successive candidate from match-list,
        character-by-character and in-place, so avoiding memory allocation
        for any local duplicate of the passed match-list; thus...
        (safe_strdup): ...this static function no longer required; delete it.
        (string.h): No references remain; do not include it.

        * src/pkgfind.cpp (pkgXmlNode::FindPackageByName): Augment component
        package name matching to include potential matches of the look-up name
        with trailing component name stripped off, when that matches the class
        name of an identified component package, and the initial substring of
        the look-up name, after stripping, matches any specified alias name
        for the containing package.

2010-06-10  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Address FIXME relating to identification of distributable files.

        * install-sh: Move to...
        * build-aux: ...this new directory.

        it depend on, and ensure that it incorporates the expansion of...
        (PACKAGE_SUBSYSTEM): ...this new macro; defined as substitution of...
        (host_os): ...this autoconf variable, set by...

        * configure.ac (AC_CANONICAL_HOST): ...this; add it, requiring...
        (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): ...`build-aux' directory reference, providing...

        * build-aux/config.guess, build-aux/config.sub: ...these new standard
        files; import them from the standard `build-aux' repository.

2010-05-17  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Bump version for next release cycle.

        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump version suffix to alpha-3.

        * README: Add new release notes.

        * xml/profile.xml: Update to use default referencing for...
        (package-list.xml.lzma): ...this repository master catalogue.

        * All files (r0-1-alpha-2): Tag assigned.

2010-05-12  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Make provision to protect user's profile settings during upgrade.

        * Makefile.in (install): Remove `profile.xml'; replace it with...
        (install-profile): ...this new prerequisite installation goal; it
        renames the installed copy of `profile.xml' as `defaults.xml', within
        the installed package image.

        * src/pkgkeys.h (defaults_key): New key; declare it.
        * src/pkgkeys.c: Some cosmetic formatting (tabulation) adjustments.
        (defaults_key): Implement it; it refers to the `defaults.xml' file.

        * src/climain.cpp (climain): Check `profile_key' for accessibility of
        the `profile.xml' file; if [! R_OK] emit a diagnostic warning, fall
        back on `defaults_key', and attempt to load configuration from the
        distributed `defaults.xml' file.

2010-05-11  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Add preliminary support for future `-reinstall' option.

        * src/pkgexec.cpp (pkgActionItem::Execute) [ACTION_INSTALL]: Force
        installation if `-reinstall' option is selected, overriding state of
        any prior installation; temporarily assume that this option is always
        selected, to permit proper `upgrade' operation in the absence of any
        functional `uninstall' capability, and pending implementation of a

        Correct handling for "%R" macro in relative sysroot path specs.

        * src/tarproc.cpp (pkgTarArchiveProcessor): In constructor, expand the
        sysroot path specification a second time, to capture the effect of any
        embedded macros, before computing the recorded `sysroot_len' value.

2010-05-05  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>

        Handle "%" wildcard matches in package and subsystem version strings.

        * m4/missing.m4: ...this; new file incorporated from build-aux module.

        * configure.ac: Add AC_CHECK_HEADER assertions for...
        (zlib.h, bzlib.h, lzma.h): ...these; invoke MINGW_AC_ASSERT_MISSING in

        (pkgXmlDocument::BindRepositories): ...this; use it.

2010-04-04  Keith Marshall  <keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net>
