Pseudo 1.7 adds an experimental feature (which I think needs more testing
before it becomes the default) allowing the pseudo client to store modes
and uid/gid values in extended attributes rather than using the sqlite
database. On most Linux-like systems, this works only if the underlying
file is a plain file or a directory.
Also added is a profiling feature to allow some amount of reporting on
the wall-clock time the client spends in wrappers, processing operations,
or in IPC. This feature is not intendeded to be precisely accurate, but
gives a good overview of where time is going.
Based on the results from the profiling feature, the client now suppresses
OP_OPEN and OP_EXEC messages if the server is not logging messages, and
no longer uses constant dynamic allocation and free cycles for canonicalized
paths.
There's a few other likely-looking optimizations being considered, but
this seemed like a good cutoff for now.
1.7.1 fixes two bugs, one affecting mostly XFS systems with 64-bit
inode values, and one affecting code that called realpath(x, NULL), such
as the RPM backend.
1.7.2 fixes an indirect side-effect of the chmod fixes to deal with
umask 0700, which had no effect with opkg 0.2.4 but appears to cause
failures with 0.3.0.
1.7.3 prevents mkdirat() (and mkfifoat()) from setting errno on success,
because glibc's localedef inexplicably errors out if errno was set, even
if the operation's actual return code (which it tests) indicated
success.
