This is based on Jalopeura's patch to #10191, however, there are some
changes.
From the patch:
* Make userlandfs use separate "interface definition" files for each
filesystem, so the netfs package can provide a configuration file
* Add a short document on how to use NetFS
* Various fixes to netfs to make it build again (volatile atomics)
* The netfs_mount script for easier use of NetFS
Additional fixes:
* Move netfs_mount and the interface description file to data/ in the
source tree
* Use strlcat instead of strcat to avoid a buffer overflow
* Some parts were already applied in previous commits
* rule AddPackageFilesToHaikuImage: Add "flags" parameter. The only
supported flag is "nameFromMetaInfo". It causes the packages to be
copied under their canonical file name onto the image.
* Use the new flag for all generated packages save haiku_loader.hpkg.
* find_directory() and hard-coded paths use /boot/system instead of
/boot/common.
* The build system creates the writable directories in /boot/system
instead of /boot/common.
* The build system no longer installs any packages in /boot/common.
* All packaging architecture dependent variables do now have a
respective suffix and are set up for each configured packaging
architecture, save for the kernel and boot loader variables, which
are still only set up for the primary architecture.
For convenience TARGET_PACKAGING_ARCH, TARGET_ARCH, TARGET_LIBSUPC++,
and TARGET_LIBSTDC++ are set to the respective values for the primary
packaging architecture by default.
* Introduce a set of MultiArch* rules to help with building targets for
multiple packaging architectures. Generally the respective targets are
(additionally) gristed with the packaging architecture. For libraries
the additional grist is usually omitted for the primary architecture
(e.g. libroot.so and <x86>libroot.so for x86_gcc2/x86 hybrid), so that
Jamfiles for targets built only for the primary architecture don't
need to be changed.
* Add multi-arch build support for all targets needed for the stage 1
cross devel package as well as for libbe (untested).
* Build libsolv and the dependency solver part of the package kit for
the build platform.
* Add build tool get_package_dependencies. Given a list of package files
and a list of repository files it determines the additional packages
that need to be retrieved from the repositories and prints their URLs.
* Add rules to work with external repositories in the build system
(build/jam/RepositoryRules):
- PackageRepository declares an external repository with all its
packages. The URL of the repository file isn't specified. It is
computed from a given base URL and the SHA256 hash of the list of
package files.
- GeneratedRepositoryPackageList generates a file containing the file
names of all packages in a repository.
- IsPackageAvailable returns whether a package is available in any
repository.
- PackageURL returns the URL for a package.
* Declare the HaikuPorts repository for x86_gcc2
(build/jam/repositories/HaikuPorts/x86_gcc2).
* Add rule AddHaikuImagePackages to add a package to the image and rule
IsHaikuImagePackageAdded to determine whether a package has been
added.
* OptionalPackages: Remove all entries that just downloaded and
installed an external package. AddHaikuImagePackages can be used
instead and is used in the remaining entries. Also move the remaining
optional package dependency declarations from
OptionalPackageDependencies here.
* ExtractBuildFeatureArchives: Instead of the URL parameter a package
name must be specified now. This allows to simplify BuildFeatures
significantly, since there's no dealing with URLs anymore. "if" out
the entries that aren't supported yet.
* build_haiku_image: For the packages installed in system and common
resolve their dependencies and download and install them as well.
* ExpanderSettings: Use a settings directory "expander" and rename
settings file to "settings".
* ExpanderRules: Read expander rules from "rules" files in the settings
directory, then from files in expander/rules subdirectories of the
installation location data directories, and finally add the built-in
rules. This allows packages to provide expander rules (as already
done by the p7zip package).
* OptionalPackages: Remove AddExpanderRuleToHaikuImage invocations.
* ImageRules: Remove Expander rule file related rules.
* Deskbar now uses ~/config/settings/deskbar/menu_entries for its menu,
falling back to /system/data/deskbar/menu_entries, when the former
doesn't exist. The latter always exists and is a virtual directory
merging the deskbar/menu subdirectories of ~/config/settings/ and
<any installation location>/data/. So, if a package provides a
deskbar menu symlink, it is added automatically when the package is
activated. The user can add own menu items by putting stuff into
~/config/settings/deskbar/menu/, only use their own organization by
symlinking it to menu_entries, or do fun stuff by making menu_entries
a customized virtual directory.
* HaikuImage: No longer create any deskbar menu symlinks in the user's
settings directory. Instead add them to the Haiku package.
* OptionalPackages: At least for the optional packages that do have
hpkgs, no longer create deskbar menu symlinks in the user's settings
directory.
* Move all Deskbar settings files to ~/config/settings/deskbar/ and
drop the "Deskbar_" prefix.
* Also make use of new build feature rules.
* Since the hacky long_jump_buffer field has been removed from the
jpeg_error_mgr struct in the new package, the structure is now
wrapped in the JPEGTranslator code to achieve the same behavior.
