XBPS: version 0.5.0 released!

The XBPS 0.5.0 version has just been released. Release notes:

  • xbps-repo(8): fixed the 'search' target to also match patterns against its description, and not only from the package/version touple.
  • Cleaned up the code by using the LLVM's clang static analyzer, found two possible NULL pointer dereferences in error branches and dead code.
  • xbps-bin(8): added new flag '-p' for the 'remove' and 'autoremove'
    targets, to also purge the package(s) after successful removal.
  • xbps-repo(8): print a warning when registering a repository that has been already added previously.
  • Add proplib-0.4.1 source and use it in XBPS. This is to avoid
    an external dependency, so that we depend on the features of the
    internal library. This also means that proplib is not required anymore.
  • Added support to read/write gzip compressed plists by default, thanks to proplib-0.4 that gained new functionality.
