* src/pacman:
- - There's quite a few single function headers which contain the pacman_*
- functions. We should move these to a single header (pacman.h) to clean up
- the source a bit.
-
-* lib/libalpm:
- - move logging (alpm_logaction) out of the library. log files should be
- written by the app, not the library. Adding a PM_LOG_* constant that
- frontends can recognize and send to a file is probably a good idea.
- - clear up list allocation/deallocation - some lists need to be free'd, some
- do not and there is no clear indication WHEN this should happen.
- - remove DB entries (directories) on a read error?
- - Add a pm_errstr error string, which will allow us to do things like:
- pm_errno = PM_ERR_LIBARCHIVE;
- pm_errstr = archive_error_string(archive);
- or:
- pm_errno = PM_ERR_LIBDOWNLOAD;
- pm_errstr = downloadLastErrString;
- This way we don't break abstraction when returning specific errors in
- cases like the above.

+ can be combined into one callback, IFF we adjust it to accept a prefix string
+ for the progress bars, and format it at the lib side. Question functions
+ should also do the same - create the string at the library side, and simply
+ call some sort of int yes_no = ask_question("Do foo with bar?");

* pacman: A LOT of functions are way too long. There should be an upper limit of
100-200 lines. _alpm_add_commit is around 600 lines, and is far too complex.
- Quite a lot of this needs to be refactored as we go.
- Function list (from Dan McGee):
- add.c:
- _alpm_add_commit
- be_files.c:
- _alpm_db_read
- _alpm_db_write
- conflict.c:
- _alpm_checkconflicts
- _alpm_db_find_conflicts
- package.c:
- _alpm_pkg_load (getting a bit long)
- remove.c:
- _alpm_remove_commit
- server.c:
- _alpm_downloadfiles_forreal
- sync.c:
- _alpm_sync_sysupgrade (getting there)
- _alpm_sync_prepare
- _alpm_sync_commit

* pacman: fixup doxygen documentation for public interface
* libalpm: just because a function is in alpm.h doesn't mean it needs to be in

* Removal of conflicts on -A and -U (INCOMPLETE)
-* pacman: add pactest cases/functionality for all -Q operations and make sure
- the output is sane
