pkgsrc-rs - A Rust interface to pkg_install packages and database

This is being developed alongside pm, a Rust implementation of a pkgsrc package manager. Anything that handles lower level pkg_install routines will be placed here.

Usage

```rust use pkgsrc::pmatch::pkg_match;

// simple match asserteq!(pkgmatch("foobar-1.0", "foobar-1.0"), true); asserteq!(pkgmatch("foobar-1.0", "foobar-1.1"), false);

// dewey comparisons asserteq!(pkgmatch("foobar>=1.0", "foobar-1.1"), true); asserteq!(pkgmatch("foobar>=1.1", "foobar-1.0"), false);

// alternate matches asserteq!(pkgmatch("{foo,bar}>=1.0", "foo-1.1"), true); asserteq!(pkgmatch("{foo,bar}>=1.0", "bar-1.1"), true); asserteq!(pkgmatch("{foo,bar}>=1.0", "moo-1.1"), false);

// globs asserteq!(pkgmatch("foo-[0-9]", "foo-1.0"), true); assert_eq!(pkg_match("fo?-[0-9]", "foo-1.0"), true); asserteq!(pkgmatch("fo-[0-9]", "foobar-1.0"), true); ```

Status

Generate list of dependency matches.

bash sqlite3 /var/db/pkgin/pkgin.db 'SELECT remote_deps_dewey FROM remote_deps' | sort | uniq > pkgdeps.txt

Generate list of package names

bash sqlite3 /var/db/pkgin/pkgin.db 'SELECT fullpkgname FROM remote_pkg' >pkgnames.txt

Implement the following algorithm in both C and Rust and compare output

bash while read pattern; do while read pkg; do pkg_match "${pattern}" "${pkg}" printf "%s\t%s\t%s", ${pattern}, ${pkg}, $? >> outfile done < pkgnames.txt done < pkgdeps.txt

As an added bonus, the C version took 55 seconds to generate 158,916,879 matches, whilst the Rust version took 42 seconds.
