* Put it in the BSupportKit namespace, following the style introduced
with the package kit for now.
* The BSupportKit::BJob class no longer knows about the package kit's
Context class. However, the BPackageKit::BJob class does.
* Due to the namespace juggling, a lot of files had to be touched.
* The JobQueue class remains private.
* Due to the way Haiku is built on itself, you cannot build this change
under Haiku with an older release.
* So that you know how much already was, and still has to be downloaded.
* Automatic whitespace cleanup.
* The link in FetchFileJob.h did not fetch the correct header under
Haiku anymore (since the addition of the private headers to the
image).
* FDDataWriter and ZlibDataWriter weren't used anymore.
* AbstractDataWriter was implemented only by PackageFileHeapWriter,
which was only used by WriterImplBase.
* Add a PackageFileHeapWriter::AddDataThrows() which has semantics
equivalent to the previously inherited WriteDataThrows().
* This will be used to implement compressed http streams
* Remove the custom BDataOutput class, and use BDataIO instead, for
easier integration with existing code.
* Move RepositoryBuilder class to libpackage and add B* prefix to name.
* Pull BPackageManager class out of PackageManager and move to
libpackage. The base class is customizable via three handler objects
responsible for transaction handling, request execution, respectively
user interaction.
* Reorganize _ApplyPackageChanges(): Now we first prepare the
transactions for all affected installation locations (downloading
files etc.) and then commit them.
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 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.
* daemon: Handle new request B_MESSAGE_COMMIT_TRANSACTION. It activates
and deactivates given sets of packages. The new packages must be
placed in a directory in the administrative directory. The daemon
moves them to the packages directory and the deactivated packages to
a subdirectory it creates. It also save the old activation state
there.
* Add private BActivationTransaction, describing an activation change
transaction.
* BDaemonClient: Add CommitTransaction(), which sends a given
BActivationTransaction as a B_MESSAGE_COMMIT_TRANSACTION request to
the daemon.
Completely untested yet.
