When reading an attribute of a directory there was no guarantee that the
underlying package would be open. When it wasn't reading an attribute
would fail, unless the attribute data were already cached. The reasons
for this are:
* UnpackingDirectory didn't forward the {Init,Uninit}VFS() calls to the
underlying PackageDirectory.
* Only PackageFile was actually opening the package in InitVFS().
Now we forward the {Init,Uninit}VFS() calls in all cases -- even in
{Add,Remove}PackageNode(), when the active package node changes -- and
opening/closing the package is now done in
PackageNode::{Init,Uninit}VFS().
* BuildHaikuPackage rule: Create the script that contains the extraction
commands.
* build_haiku_package: Add extractFile() function (stripped down version
from build_haiku_image).
In build_haiku_image the functionality was mainly used to extract the
optional packages, which is no longer done. We still need it e.g. for
the Wifi firmware packages that want to be extracted.
AttributeDescriptor: Don't use dup() directly. Check, if the given FD is
one we track and clone it respectively. This allows use with symlink FDs
which we have to fake on Linux (since symlinks cannot be opened). Fixes
extraction of packages containing symlinks with attributes.
... the one expected for the respective attribute. Before it was
possible that e.g. a uint was read and then interpreted as a
const char*, if a string was expected for that attribute.
... <package/hpkg/PackageAttributes.h>, which also defines other
properties (name and type) for each attribute. It does so via a macro
that the caller can define to generate whatever code is desired.
Global and user settings files can be declared. For global ones an
update policy can be specified. If not specified, the settings file is
not included in the package, but created by the program (or user) later.
If an update type is specified, it defines what to do with the settings
file when updating the package to a newer version.
User settings files are never included in the package; they are always
created by the program or the user. If the package contains a template/
default settings file, it can be declared, but for informative purposes
only.
* Add minor_version to hpkg_header and hpkg_repo_header and make
heap_compression uint16.
* If the minor version of a package/repository file is greater than the
current one unknown attributes are ignored without error. This allows
introducing new harmless attributes without making the resulting files
unreadable for older package kit versions.
* ReaderImplBase:
- Add virtual CreateCachedHeapReader() which can create a cached
reader based on the given heap reader.
- Rename HeapReader() to RawHeapReader() and add HeapReader() for the
cached heap reader.
- Add DetachHeapReader() to allow a clients to remove the heap
reader(s) after deleting the ReaderImplBase object.
* packagefs:
- Add CachedDataReader class, which wraps a given
BAbstractBufferedDataReader and provides caching for it using a
VMCache. The implementation is based on the IOCache implementation.
- Use CachedDataReader to wrap the heap reader. For file data that
means they are cached twice -- in the heap reader cache and in the
file cache -- but due to the heap reader using a VMCache as well,
the pages will be recycled automatically anyway. For attribute data
the cache should be very helpful, since they weren't cached at all
before.
Since the package nodes' attributes are indexed before the VFS has
accessed any of its nodes, the package wasn't open and reading the
attribute data would fail. We do now open the package explicitly in
UnpackingAttributeCookie::IndexAttribute(). Moreover, as an
optimization, we also open the package in Volume::_AddPackageContent(),
so the package file isn't repeatedly opened and closed as its nodes are
being registered.
* Add flags parameter to Init() of BPackageReader and friends.
* Introduce flag B_HPKG_READER_DONT_PRINT_VERSION_MISMATCH_MESSAGE and
don't print a version mismatch error when given.
* package extract/list: Use the new flag.
* Add new package haiku_loader.hpkg and move haiku_loader there. The
package is built without compression, so that the stage 1 boot loader
has a chance of loading it.
* Adjust the stage 1 boot loader to load the haiku_loader package and
relocate the boot loader code accordingly.
* With a specified buffer size smaller than the attribute size the
function would fail with ERANGE on Linux although it should just read
as much as possible. Now we always read into our temporary data buffer
with the full buffer size.
* Fix return value in case pos is > 0. pos must be subtracted from the
bytes actually read.
