* Pull out base class MimeEntryProcessor out of AppMetaMimeCreator.
* Pull class MimeInfoUpdater out of UpdateMimeInfoThread and derive it
from MimeEntryProcessor.
* MimeInfoUpdater: Instead of BMimeType::GuessMimeType(), use
Database::GuessMimeType() directly.
* This pulls in some more stuff, like libicon and agg which are also
included in libbe_build, now.
* Update a few libbe_build classes and headers needed to get things
building.
* This likely breaks the <build>mimeset build on Haiku.
* Add class DatabaseLocation. It contains a list of the MIME DB
directory paths plus methods to access type files.
* Move all low-level MIME DB access functions from
database_{support,access} to DatabaseLocation. All code that formerly
used those now requires a DatabaseLocation object. In BMimeType and in
the registrar the default object is used, but the low-level classes
can now be reused with different locations.
* Move get_icon_data() from database_access to database_support and
delete the former, which is now empty.
* Together with database_{access,support}.cpp it is built into a static
library.
* Add new interfaces MimeSniffer and Database::NotificationListener for
plugging in registrar specific functionality (the sniffer add-on
support and the notification mechanism).
Each installation location (system, common, common/non-packaged,
~/config, ~/config/non-package) can now have a read-only data/mime_db
directory. ~/config/settings/beos_mime is now named mime_db as well. The
contents of all directories makes up the MIME DB. Entries in more
specific locations shadow entries in more general locations. Only the
directory in ~/config/settings is where the registrar writes changes to.
The new layout allows packages to contribute entries to the MIME DB by
simply providing the respective files in data/mime_db. Consequently the
user settings directory is supposed to contain only the things the user
has actually changed.
Seems to work fine as far as tested. A few issues, though:
* The registrar doesn't monitor the directories yet, so it doesn't
notice entry changes due to package de-/activation.
* ATM it is not possible to remove a MIME type that is not in the user
settings directory, although the FileTypes GUI suggests that it is.
We'd have to work with white-outs, since we cannot remove the files in
the data/mime_db directories. Or, alternatively, the API has to be
extended and the FileTypes GUI adjusted to disable the "Remove" button
in such a case.
An arbitrary number of directories can be added, which the implemented
BEntryList interface presents as a single merged entry list. Three
different merge policies are supported which define how entries that
appear in more than one directory are treated.
* Add optional packages Zlib and Zlib-devel.
* Simplify the build feature section for zlib and also extract the
source package.
* Replace all remaining references to the zlib instance in the tree and
remove it.
* Set its type to B_MODAL_WINDO, and also set B_NOT_MOVABLE
* Since this removes the window tab, add an "Ok" button to close the window
* Remove the GetWindow mess and just use it as any regular window
* Adjust all callers again
The AlertPosition method doesn't seem to work right, the window pops up
offset to the right. I also noticed that some of our calls to BAboutWindow
are actually not reacable because we removed Abutrequested from the apps.
Maybe we should clean them up (locale preflet and activity monitor are examples)
More annoying is the fact that opening a modal window from a deskbar replicant
is modal against the whole deskbar. Not sure what to do about that.
- debug_create_symbol_lookup_context() now takes an image ID
parameter that can optionally be used to restrict the symbols
it gathers to only those of the targeted image rather than the
entire team, allowing for significantly more lightweight usage
when the desired image is known. The previous behavior can still
be obtained if desired by passing -1 as said ID.
- Adjust callers.
... back to their previous void returning roles. AlertPosition() is used instead to
check that an alert fits within the sides of the screen and all that.
Also add another CenterOnScreen() method that takes a Screen ID
so you can center a window on another monitor that the one it is currently on
(theoretically someday anyway).
...to position alert's and open/save dialogs nicely inside of the parent window,
or if that is unavailable, the screen frame.
AlertPosition() is private (for now) but BAlert and BFilePanel are BWindow's friends so
BWindow allows those classes to touch it's privates.
BAboutWindow returned false in QuitRequested in order to hide instead of closing.
Not only this keeps a BLooper running for a rarely used window, but it also
prevents quitting an application in the window was not destroyed first.
* Remove aforementioned QuitRequested method,
* Add a static GetWindow method that returns the existing about window, if there
is one, or creates one if there is not. A boolean can be set to tell the caller
what happened,
* Adjust all callers to use that new method, instead of managing the window themselves.
* These methods now return the new point after centering.
* But more importantly CenterIn() does some new adjustments to keep the window
position inside the screen edge. If you pass the screen frame into CenterIn()
it skips these adjustments.
- Instead of implicitly registering and unregistering a service
instance on construction/destruction, DefaultNotificationService
now exports explicit Register()/Unregister() calls, which subclasses
are expected to call when they're ready.
- Adjust all implementing subclasses. Resolves an issue with deadlocks
when booting a DEBUG=1 build.
* Add "bool kernel" parameter to vfs_entry_ref_to_path(), so it can be
specified for which I/O context the entry ref shall be translated.
* _user_entry_ref_to_path(): Use the calling team's I/O context instead
of the kernel's. Fixes the bug that in a chroot the syscall would
return a path for outside the chroot.
* BActivationTransaction:
- Remove non-trivial constructor.
- Remove package list parameters from SetTo().
- Add AddPackageTo{Dea,A}ctivate().
* BDaemonClient:
- Add CreateTransaction(). It creates a transaction directory and
initializes a BActivationTransaction. Packages to de-/activate have
to be added afterwards.
- Add BCommitTransactionResult::FullErrorMessage().
The name of the package file is not part of the package-info.
CanonicalFileName() constructs the name the file should have (not
enforced anywhere (yet)).
* daemon: Handle new request B_MESSAGE_COMMIT_TRANSACTION. It activates
and deactivates given sets of packages. The new packages must be
placed in a directory in the administrative directory. The daemon
moves them to the packages directory and the deactivated packages to
a subdirectory it creates. It also save the old activation state
there.
* Add private BActivationTransaction, describing an activation change
transaction.
* BDaemonClient: Add CommitTransaction(), which sends a given
BActivationTransaction as a B_MESSAGE_COMMIT_TRANSACTION request to
the daemon.
Completely untested yet.
