A DatabaseLocation is passed to the constructor and used to verify that
the sniffed MIME type is installed instead of BMimeType::IsInstalled().
This makes the add-on independent of the default MIME DB.
Most of the hooks don't strictly need a non-empty implementation. The
defaults now simply throw exceptions in those that do. This allows the
class to be instantiated, which is useful when a BPackageManager is only
used for finding packages.
Require the installation interface and the user interaction handle to
be passed to the constructor. Formerly, derived classes set them
manually in their constructors. This makes using the class without
having to subclass it possible.
It's a browser for the system package content, where entries can be
selected to blacklist them. The selected entries are removed from the
packagefs instance in the boot loader, so that e.g. selected drivers
won't be picked up. The paths are also added to the safe mode driver
settings and will be interpreted when the system packagefs instance is
mounted by the kernel.
* Make Menu and MenuItem polymorphic.
* MenuItem:
- Make SetMarked() virtual, so it can be overridden.
- Add SetSubmenu() and Supermenu().
- Delete the submenu in the destructor.
* Menu:
- Add Entered()/Exited() hooks. They frame the time the user navigates
the menu or any of its submenus. The hooks allow for subclasses
populating their item list dynamically.
- Add SortItems().
* Update boot loader menu copyright text to include 2013, now that it is
over soon. :-)
In each installation location, it is now possible to create a settings
file "packages" that allows to blacklist entries contained in packages.
The format is:
Package <package name> {
EntryBlacklist {
<entry path>
...
}
}
...
<package name> is the base name (no version) of the respective package
(e.g. "haiku"), <entry path> is an installation location relative path
(e.g. "add-ons/Translators/FooTranslator").
Blacklisted entries will be ignored by packagefs, i.e. they won't appear
in the file system. This addresses the issue that it may be necessary to
remove a problematic file (e.g. driver, add-on, or library), which would
otherwise require editing the containing package file.
The settings file is not not "live". Changes take effect only after
reboot (respectively when remounting the concerned packagefs volume).
* get_architectures() returns the primary and the secondary
architectures in one array. That turned out to be convenient.
* Add C++ versions for get[_secondary]_architectures(), returning a
BStringList.
* Add get_architecture(), get_primary_architecture(),
get_secondary_architectures(), guess_architecture_for_path() to get
the caller's architecture, the primary architecture, all secondary
architectures, or the architecture associated with a specified path
respectively.
* Rename the find_path*() functions to find_path*_etc() and add an
optional architecture parameter. Add simplified find_path*()
functions.
* BPathFinder: Add FindPath[s]() versions with an architecture
parameter.
By passing the window pointer to ScreenSaverRunner contructor and using that
to lock the window when drawing instead of getting the window from the
Window() method of the view. This is safer.
Start the screensaver in the window thread instead of the runner
thread so that there is no lock contention for the window lock in
the runner thread when the saver starts.
The view that gets drawn into is assumed to have been prepared before
being passed to the runner thread, and this assumption has been made
true for the screensaver preview and screen_blanker apps.
Eliminate fHasStarted and the corresponding HasStarted() method in
ScreenSaverRunner as they are no longer needed.
Drawing still happens in the runner thread, and still needs to lock
the window thread potentially causing contention, yet, there
is a timeout here so the contention won't freeze the screensaver window,
only delay drawing the screensaver.
Drawing could be moved to the window thread via message passing to avoid
lock contention with the window but this would defeat a big part of the
purpose of having a separate rendering thread.
This fixes#10125 and #4260
* The UNMAP command is theoretically much faster, as it can get many block
ranges instead of just a single range.
* Furthermore, the ATA TRIM command resembles it much better.
* Therefore, fs_trim_data now gets an array of ranges, and we use SCSI UNMAP
to trim.
* Updated BFS code to collect array ranges to fully support the new
fs_trim_data possibilities.
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.
* Replace ports list mutex with R/W-lock.
* Move team port list protection to separate array of mutexes.
Relieve contention on sPortsLock by removing Team::port_list from its
protected items. With this, set_port_owner() only needs to acquire the
sPortsLock for reading.
* Add another hash table holding the ports by name. Used by find_port()
so it doesn't have to iterate over the list anymore.
* Use slab-based memory allocator for port messages. sPortQuotaLock was
acquired on every message send or receive and was thus another point
of contention. The lock is not necessary anymore.
* Lock for port hashes and Port::lock are no longer locked in a nested
fashion to reduce chances of blocking other threads.
* Make operations concurrency-safe by adding an atomically accessed
Port::state which provides linearization points to port creation and
deletion. Both operations are now divided into logical and physical
parts, the logical part just updating the state and the physical part
adding/remove it to/from the port hash and team port list.
* set_port_owner() is the only remaining function which still locks
Port::lock and one or two of sTeamListLock[] in a nested fashion.
Since it needs to move the port from one team list to another and
change Port::owner, there's no way around.
* Ports are now reference counted to make accesses to already-deleted
ports safe.
* Should fix#8007.
When removing a string attribute, decrement the referenced string's
usage count in the string cache. This fixes the potentially incorrect
usage counts in update mode. Not a serious problem, but it could lead
to only singly (or no longer) used strings to be written to the string
subsection instead of encoding them inline and thus to slightly greater
file sizes.
When joining with a single range, firstRange would be the same as
RangeAt(endIndex - 1) and we would overwrite its offset field before
getting its end offset, thus possibly resulting in a wrong joined range
size.
The method is supposed to return B_OK as long as the _result object has
been initialized, even if committing the transaction failed. Fixes the
unhelpful error messages of pkgman when committing the transaction
failed for some reason.
Update BKeymap::GetModifiedCharacters() to translate a given character
and set of modifiers filling out a list of all characters that match for another
set of modifiers.
This allows us to, for example, get all characters in the normal map that
have the '+' character in the corresponding shift map.
It is fully generic allowing one to get a list of characters in any map given
a character and modifiers of another map.
Also I converted from using a BList to using a BObjectList.
With this, along with BWindow::HasShortcut(), the semantic shortcuts now
work not only with Command+'=', but any key in the normal map that has
'+' in it's shift map as long as it isn't already taken by another shortcut.
This method fills out the passed-in BList of modified utf-8 characters for
a given utf-8 character and set of modifiers.
For example if you pass in "=" and B_SHIFT_KEY the list will get filled
out with each character in the shift map that has "=" in the normal map.
Each supported keymap modifier combination is available.
The reason this is useful will soon become apparent.
A BList is used because the character might be mapped multiple times,
for example if you have a Mac keyboard you've got two "=" keys, one in
0x1d and one in 0x6a.
The caller is responsible for creating the BList and destroying it as well as
freeing the resulting character strings.
This builds off of hrev46243 adding add-on directories all in one place
in AddOnMonitorHandler instead of repeating the code 3 times in
IndexServer, AddOnManager, and MediaAddOnServer.
The safe mode checking in InputServer is now redundant since it all
gets funneled into AddOnMonitorHandler::AddAddOnDirectories()
and the safe mode flags are checked there.
We should probably remove the InputServer::SafeMode() method, but,
I didn't want to break anything that depended on it so I left it.
Should already have been done back when the semantics for the
B_COMMON_*DIRECTORY constants was changed.
Currently old and new version behave the same. So this is just a
contingency measure ATM.
* This does intentionally break source compatibility, so that a review
of concerned code is forced.
* Binary compatibility should be maintained in most cases. The values
of the constants for the writable directories are now used for the
writable system directories. The values for the non-writable
directories are mapped to "/boot/system/data/empty/...", an empty or
non-existent directory, so that they will simply be skipped in search
paths. Only code that explicitly expects to find something in a
B_COMMON_* directory, will fail.
* 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.
* 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.
* The new class is called DriverSettingsMessageAdapter which can translate
between a driver_settings file, and a BMessage.
* The net_server Settings class is now just using this class.
