I previously broke the pkg auto edges because the package list wasn't
available by the time it was called. This fixes the pkg resource so that
it gets the necessary list of packages when needed. Since this means
that a possible failure could happen, we also update the AutoEdges API
to support errors. Errors can only be generated at AutoEdge struct
creation, once the struct has been returned (right before modification
of the graph structure) there is no possibility to return any errors.
It's important to remember that the AutoEdges stuff gets called because
the Init of each resource, so make sure it doesn't depend on anything
that happens there or that gets cached as a result of Init.
This is all much nicer now and has a test too :)
This is something I've wanted to do for a while, but for the reasons
mentioned in the comments, I've been unable to complete yet. I figured
I'd at least merge what does exist so far in case someone else would
like to pick this up. It's a bit of a brain hurdle / monster, because
the tricky part is refactoring the core engine so that this fits in
nicely. Perhaps someone will have more time and/or less tunnel vision
than I to either merge something or sketch out some ideas on the path
forwards. I think it's a useful goal because if recursive resources are
possible, it could force the core engine into a more elegant design.
Happy hacking!
