The new functions are meant to replace many uses of find_directory():
* find_paths() is supposed to be used when the directories of a certain
kind in all installation directories are needed (e.g. font
directories, add-on directory, etc.). Using this API makes code
robust wrt addition or removal of installation locations.
* find_path() is supposed to be used when files/directories associated
with a loaded program, library, or add-on need to be found (e.g. data
files or global settings).
* find_path_for_path() is similar to find_path(), but it starts from a
given path instead of an image.
* We are moving the HaikuPorts repositories over from haiku-files.org
to packages.haiku-os.org, and we will be creating new repositories
during a push hook from now on. As a result, only a small helper for
uploading new packages into the appropriate upload folder is required.
* Add build tool update_package_requires. Given a package info file and
a repository cache file, it updates the minimum versions of the
requires entries of the package info file according to what is
provided by the repository.
* PreprocessPackageInfo rule: Use update_package_requires (with the
HaikuPorts repository file).
For entries without operator (and version) an invalid enum value would
be used for the resulting BPackageResolvableExpression. Now it's
B_PACKAGE_RESOLVABLE_OP_ENUM_COUNT in that case.
This causes configure of gcc/binutils to fail its test for sys/time.h, which
in turn causes compilation of gcc/binutils to fail.
Found trying to do a @bootstrap-raw build for ARM.
The authentication state is stored (in a hash map, using the domain+path
as a key) in the UrlContext class. It can then be reused for multiple
requests to the same place. We also lookup stored authentications for
parent directories and stop at the first we find.
Authentication state is not stored on disk (unlike cookies), and there
can only be one for each domain+path.
This change is needed for implementing cookie persistence in Web+ using
the network kit backend.
The current implementation requires the user to unarchive the cookie
jar, then hand it over to the BUrlContext which will copy it to its own
field. This makes the code simpler, but maybe doing a complete copy
(with all the cookies) is an heavy operation and could be avoided.
