* This will be used to implement compressed http streams
* Remove the custom BDataOutput class, and use BDataIO instead, for
easier integration with existing code.
* BSolver/LibsolvSolver: Add FullSync() method. It uses libsolv's
SOLVER_DISTUPGRADE mode.
* BPackageManager: Add FullSync() using the new solver mode.
* pkgman: Add full-sync command.
The new command is similar to the update command without arguments, just
more aggressive, allowing downgrading or even removal of packages, to
match the state of the repositories. Just like "update" it doesn't work
properly yet.
* Remove support for the "common" installation location from packagefs,
package kit, package daemon, package managers.
* Rename the B_COMMON_*_DIRECTORY constants referring to writable
directories to B_SYSTEM_*_DIRECTORY.
* Remove/adjust the use of various B_COMMON_*_DIRECTORY constants.
I'm sure some occurrence still remain. They can be adjusted when the
remaining B_COMMON_*_DIRECTORY constants are removed.
- BJobStateListener: Add progress state and corresponding hook.
- FetchFileJob: Notify job progress hook on libcurl notifications.
- UserInteractionHandler: Add hooks for download progress and checksum
validation progress.
- PackageManager: inherit from JobStateListener and watch for job
notifications for internally generated jobs. Forward to corresponding
UserInteractionHandler hooks as needed.
- Adapt pkgman, HaikuDepot and package_daemon to above changes.
Neither HaikuDepot nor package_daemon's progress hooks are wired up to
do anything yet though.
- A subset of jobs that require a BContext don't in fact make use of the
decision provider. As such, make the default implementation usable for
those cases so one doesn't need to always create a dummy derived class.
The property is archived and unarchived, but otherwise not yet stored.
If not set, FileName() returns CanonicalFileName(). Can be used for
packages like haiku.hpkg etc. that don't have a properly qualified file
name (yet).
Only flag ATM is B_VERIFY_ALLOW_UNINSTALL. It tells to solver to suggest
uninstalling packages when necessary instead of considering such a case
a problem.
* Under the base URL there are supposed to be the repository files and a
subdirectory "packages".
* Fix the repository URL related confusion introduced earlier. The URL
in
the repository info (and thus in the repository file) is supposed to
be the base URL for the repository. It is not a (potentially)
different base URL for the package files. Package and repository
files were supposed to live in the same directory. Now, by requiring
the package files to live in a subdirectory -- which can also be a
symlink -- we gain some flexibility.
The URL in the repository config is usually the same as the in the
repository info, unless it refers to a mirror site. This allows for
mirrors to copy the original repository verbatim.
* Remove the PackageURL rule and introduce a DownloadPackage rule
instead. The URL for a package file cannot be computed in the jam
parsing phase anymore, as it contains the hash value of the package
list.
* BRepositoryConfig: Add PackagesURL() for convenience.
* Introduce new package attribute B_HPKG_ATTRIBUTE_ID_PACKAGE (valid
only in a repository file) to group the attributes belonging to a
package.
* BRepositoryContentHandler:
- No longer derive from BPackageContentHandler.
- Add hooks HandlePackage() and HandlePackageDone() that bracket the
attributes for a package. This is more explicit and robust than
handlers having to guess when one package ended and the next began.
* BRepositoryCache: Make use of BPackageInfoContentHandler. No need to
duplicate the code for reading a package info from package info
attributes.
* For all identifiers: Rename global settings file to global writable
file. We want to use the respective attribute also for other writable
files, not only settings files.
* User settings file/global writable file info/attribute: Add
isDirectory property/child attribute. This allows declaring global/
user settings directories associated with the package.
... <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.
* 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.
It doesn't do much in terms of buffering, but defines an interface
buffered readers can implement, namely the additional
ReadDataToOutput() which currently BPackageDataReader specifies.
It uses sub-namespace BPackage::BHPKG::V1. Unlike the one for the
current format version, the V1 version of BPackageInfoContentHandler
lives in BHPKG(::V1) sub-namespace and is private.
* 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.
