Perl-RPM

Changes for version 0.292 - 2000-11-13

ninth alpha
Some unused variables were found in several places.
Moved away from the self-tie mechanism and instead handle the data opacity in a completely different fashion. This simplified some code, muddled some, but ultimately led to the removal of several #define macros, more unused variable removal, and (hopefully) more stable code.
Addressed a problem in both RPM::Database and RPM::Header XS code wherein destructors were not getting called when objects were implicitly or explicitly freed.
Added more tests to the test suite.
Changed the names of some of the find_* routines in RPM::Database. See the manual page. The old names were confusing me, despite my direct familiarity with the code!
The find_* functions in RPM::Database may now take a RPM::Header object as their argument, and will use the package's name for the searches.
It's still leaking RPM::Header objects in the RPM::Database routines. The alternative is a nasty mix of "attempt to free unreferenced scalar" errors and core dumps.
