Locked packages are basically like removable fixed packages, so we still
only load one version, but we do not require their installation unless
something the user needs requires their use. So they automatically get
removed if they are no longer needed on any update.
This reduces code complexity while making partial updates more
predictable. This also allows composer require to successfully run a
partial update for a new package with transitive dependency updates.
The only type of request job remaining was "install" which is really a
root requirement. The only other kind of input for the solver is now a
set of fixed packages.
Rules have been updated to account for only two kinds of former job
reason: FIXED or ROOT_REQUIRE. The job property has always been
redundant and has been removed, since reasonData suffices.
Problem reasons are always rules, so the unnecessary wrapping in an
array has been removed.
We now only ever generate a single rule per root require or fixed
package, so there is no need for the solver to special handle disabling
"jobs" anymore, the rule can just be disabled as usual.
For consistency special handling of rules for jobs in problems has been
integrated into the rule class like all other rule reasons. As part of
this change the error message for root requirements has been improved a
bit to make it clearer where the package installation request came from.
The word job has also been removed from operations, which are called
operations, not jobs.
As a result some lock file packages are no longer in the pool, so the
former installed map, now present map cannot use package ids anymore
Need to revisit some more code later to simplify this, todo notes left
- Introduce separate Lock and LocalRepo transactions, one for changes
to the lock file, one for changes to locally installed packages based
on lock file
- Remove various hacks to keep dev dependencies updated and
incorporated the functionality into the transaction classes
- Remove installed repo, there are now local repo, locked repo and
platform repo
- Remove access to local repo from solver, only supply locked packages
- Update can now be run to modify the lock file but not install packages
to local repo
