perl-install: Drop i586 bits

2024-04-28T19:31:48+00:00

Retry downloading packages in case of error (mga#28539)

2022-01-19T00:18:38+00:00

Enable to alter default downloader (mga#28539)

2022-01-17T00:02:29+00:00

Default is still curl.
Choice is limited to what is actually included in stage2 (for now, only
aria2c, curl or wget)
eg: " downloader=wget"

installer: fix tracking of installed packages (mga#26284)

2020-03-15T12:02:59+00:00

The installer keeps a record of the packages that have been installed,
but was not recording the first package in each transaction. If an
affected package was selected in a later step, the installer would
attempt to reinstall it. With the latest rpm, this results in a fatal
error.

installer: support optional ISA requirement when selecting packages by name.

fix regression where drakx report pkgs failing to install

2018-09-14T14:24:40+00:00

rationale:
since the following commit:
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/commit/5064276cd946183d711430da44b18608af74ebf1
rpmlib opens/closes the pkgs first in order to check them
(introduced in rpm-4.14.2, mga#23531)

So we must track whether we're verifying or installing the pkgs before
checking whether they've been installed successfuly or not

really fix bogus macro expanding

2018-09-14T14:20:34+00:00

rationale:
since the following upstream rpm commit:
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/commit/ca36c2a12bcde1340da0421a788863f83aaccd08
rpm doesn't honor/recognize %__dbi_cdb
We now have to alter directly %__dbi_other
