Conary 2.0.18 released

Conary 2.0.18 is a maintenance release.

Protocol Changes:
  • The addRoleMember() and getRoleMembers() calls are now exposed via XMLRPC. (CNY-2862)
  • Added support for package creator specific data to trove info and the getPackageCreatorTroves() repository call. (CNY-2855)
Bug Fixes:
  • A rare error that occurred when an updating containing several groups that contained different versions of the same package has been fixed. (CNY-2860)
  • Some .car format files previously caused builds to fail; this has been corrected. (CNY-2871)
  • Tracebacks no longer print each filename twice (bug introduced in Conary 2.0.16). (CNY-2872)
Build Changes:
  • When the configure script run by r.Configure() or r.ManualConfigure() fails, "command not found" messages are highlighted, and possible missing buildRequires based on those messages are sought in the repository. (CNY-2708)
  • All missing buildRequires found by noticing programs used in source actions, build actions, and policies are reported immediately as well as summarized at the end of the build, to make it clearer why each requirement has been suggested. (CNY-2858)
  • The r.addPatch() method now takes an optional patchName keyword argument, which is the name of the patch program to use to apply the patch. (CNY-2858)
