--- Comment #1 from Rainer Meier <r.meier at wpkg.org>  ---
Hi Stefan,

Well, this request looks easy to do but it causing really A LOT of
restructuring in order to do it efficiently and re-use existing WPKG code in
order to avoid implementing the detection of upgrades/downgrades/installs and
removes more than once (which would have high potential of being broken due to
future changes).

I think the effort was worth it. Now the query can be used to retrieve a full
list of changes which "would" be performed by WPKG when you do a
synchronization (see the "m" option). The result shall be the same as doing a
dry-run and parsing the output which is rather difficult to do.


Here is a change log:

NEW: Implemented new options for the /query argument. It now supports the
     following options:
       a   Query all packages.
       x   List packages which are not installed but in package database.
       i   List all packages which are currently installed.
       I   List packages which are about to be installed during
           synchronization.
       u   List packages which are about to be upgraded during
           synchronization.
       d   List packages which are about to be downgraded during
           synchronization.
       r   List packages which are about to be removed during synchronization.
       m   List all modifications which would apply during synchronization
           (equal to Iudr)
       n   List packages which belong to the profile but are not modified
           during synchronization.

     The options can be combined. For example /query:du would print just
     packages which are about to be upgraded or downgraded during next
     synchronization.
     The "m" option is a shortcut for /query:Iudr. So if you want to get a
     full list of all changes which will happen during next synchronization
     just use /query:m.
     Another example:
     If you want to see the list of packages as it will be after the next
     synchronization just use /query:Iudn. This will list packages which are
     new (I), upgraded (u), downgraded (d) and the ones which are already
     applied and are not modified (n).
FIX: Fixed a couple of bugs in install function which only affected very rare
     cases.

As usual version 1.2.1-RC18 can be found in SVN until released:
<http://wpkg.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/wpkg/wpkg/stable/1.2/>


I WOULD LIKE AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE TO PERFORM TESTS WITH THIS VERSION. DUE
TO MANY INTERNAL RE-STRUCTURING ESPECIALLY IN CORE FUNCTIONALITY THE RISK OF
BREAKING SOMETHING IS HIGHER THAN USUAL.

I did many tests with special cases but I doubt I can perform tests for each
and every potential combination of parameters and package attributes.

It passes a full wpkg-test run without any errors but please report any issue
you might see.

Thanks for support!
Rainer
