Greetings,
The following webrev contains fixes for the following issues:
2557 catalog cache pickle file dependent on fmri and version object
definitions
6221 AttributeError while reading catalog.pkl
webrev:
http://cr.opensolaris.org/~swalker/pkg-2557/
Change Summary:
* Completely removed all pickle usage in favor of custom format flat
file for catalog cache (see comments for format details)
* Added catalog.fast_cache_fmri() method to skip the extra overhead of
consistency checks and sorting for cache loads
* Added a set of Catalog cache exceptions to allow more specific
analysis of cache failure
* Bumped catalog_cache_version to 4
* Made catalog cache parsing robust against corruption, truncation, or
invalid values
* Added code to remove old catalog cache files when possible
(pkg_names.pkl, catalog.pkl)
* Added code to ensure that if catalog cache can't be read or is corrupt
that an in-memory representation will be built anyway from the existing
catalog data and an attempt to save it will be made (although failure
will not occur if it cannot be).
* Added unit tests to verify that corrupt or missing catalog cache will
not impact pkg operations such as pkg list.
Cheers,
