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 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.
* Introduce BPackageWriterParameters which comprises all parameters
for package creation, currently flags and compression level. Such an
object can be passed to BPackageWriter::Init() and is passed on to
PackageWriterImpl and WriterImplBase.
* PackageFileHeapWriter: Add compressionLevel property and pass the
value on to ZlibCompressor.
* package add/create: Add options -0 ... -9 to specify the compression
level to be used.
Instead of handling compression for individual file/attribute data we
do now compress the whole heap where they are stored. This
significantly improves compression ratios. We still divide the
uncompressed data into 64 KiB chunks and use a chunk offset array for
the compressed chunks to allow for quick random access without too much
overhead. The tradeoff is a limited possible compression ratio -- i.e.
we won't be as good as tar.gz (though surprisingly with my test
archives we did better than zip).
The other package file sections (package attributes and TOC) are no
longer compressed individually. Their uncompressed data are simply
pushed onto the heap where the usual compression strategy applies. To
simplify things the repository format has been changed in the same
manner although it doesn't otherwise use the heap, since it only stores
meta data.
Due to the data compression having been exposed in public and private
API, this change touches a lot of package kit using code, including
packagefs and the boot loader packagefs support. The latter two haven't
been tested yet. Moreover packagefs needs a new kind of cache so we
avoid re-reading the same heap chunk for two different data items it
contains.
It is no longer public (or even private) API. BPackageDataReaderFactory
returns a BAbstractBufferedDataReader instead. The advantage is that
the latter doesn't have hpkg format specific dependencies.
* Use enums/constants/functions instead of preprocessor macros.
* Missing include in PackageInfoAttributeValue.h.
* PackageReaderImpl::Init(): Check version before header size and
return B_MISMATCHED_VALUES instead of B_BAD_DATA, if the version
doesn't match. This allows callers to determine the condition and
try a reader for a different version. A more flexible interface for
that case would be nice, but since we want to support the old package
version only temporarily, the current solution should be good enough.
This means the build tools will no longer be built against the host
platform's libbe, which avoids compatibility problems -- e.g. an
older Haiku host libbe may not have certain features the build tools
require -- and also makes the build behave more similiar on Haiku and
other platforms. The host libroot dependency still remains and is not
easy to get rid of.
Also remove some bits of BeOS/Dano/Zeta build support.
* Don't require the first MIME DB directory to exist anymore. Database
creates it anyway.
* Make use of MimeInfoUpdater to support updating MIME info with a
custom MIME DB.
* Make use of MimeEntryProcessor::DoRecursively() to support recursive
operation with a custom MIME DB.
Add option -m/--mimedb for specifying one or more directories to be
used as the MIME DB instead of the system MIME DB. Currently only works
with --apps and only non-recursive.
When fully implemented the new feature will be used in the build system
and on Haiku when building packages to generated the MIME DB entries for
applications, so those can be included in the same package. Furthermore
it will be possible to use the MIME DB the build system already
generates to identify files before packaging them.
* Use "--" prefix for long options and switch to getopt parsing. There's
still compatibility support for "-apps" and "-all", but they are
considered obsolete, now.
* Add short options "-a" for "--apps", "-A" for "--all", and "-h" for
"--help".
- 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.
Download package files to install from the respective repositories and
use BDaemonClient to perform the package de-/activation. Still missing
is the interactive problem solution support.
- Fix operator prefix/suffix reversal that caused the first
argument to be evaluated twice.
- Track if we managed to find a name match for the team at all.
If not, print an error indicating such.
