Conary 2.0.45 released

Conary 2.0.45 is a maintenance release.

New Features:
  • The standalone Conary repository server now prints a message if it fails to import the Conary REST api.
  • Added the restore command, which restores file ownership to troves from which they were removed (because of a remove operation or --replace-files).
  • The addGitSnapshot action now accepts a branch= argument. (CNY-2368)
Internal Changes:
  • Fetching path hashes from a changeset now uses absolute trove info when available (which it is for any recent enough server), instead of merging differential trove info with database trove info, which significantly speeds up update planning.
  • Database operations now use the TRUNCATE command where available, which may speed up some repository queries.
  • An internal API used for emulating repository access by certain roles previously did not function when given a specific set of roles; this has been corrected.
Bug Fixes:
  • A consistent exception is now raised when bad XML-RPC data is fed into conary's parser on systems without the sgmlop package installed. (CNY-3180)
  • An error in handling queries for labels sharing the host name component has been fixed. (CNY-3187)

Conary Policy 1.0.24 released

conary-policy 1.0.24 is a maintenance release.

  • Libraries (ELF files containing DT_SONAME entries, not symbolic links) with file names ending in .so (instead of .so.something) are now tagged as shared libraries. (CNP-175)
  • TagLocale no longer looks at files in %(debuglibdir)s or %(debugsrcdir)s, since it would only complain about them and ignore them anyway. (CNP-177)
