Improvements
- Arch
- not rechecking sub-dependencies of an AUR dependency to be installed
- allowing AUR packages to be installed as dependencies of a repository package
- always listing repository packages as primary options when multiple providers for a given dependency are available
- installation: explicitly marking installed dependent packages as "dependencies" (
--asdeps) - settings:
- "Auto-define dependency providers" property renamed to "Auto-match dependency by name"
- new property 'prefer_repository_provider': automatically picks the single package from the repositories among several external (AUR) available as the provider for a given dependency
Fixes
-
General
- not handling unicode decode errors when reading a subprocess output
-
Arch
- not upgrading a package when a dependent package relies on a specific version with epoch (e.g: alsa-plugins 1:1.2.6-1 would not be upgraded to 1:1.2.6-2 because lib32-alsa-plugins relies on 1:1.2.6)
- not informing all the provided packages on the transaction context to the dependency sorting algorithm (could lead to a wrong installation order)
- not displaying all possible AUR providers for a given dependency
- not displaying any substatus when retrieving packages (pacman)
-
UI:
- settings panel: confirmation dialog icon when launched alone
