Comments to #9672 agree that there's really no need to
expose the dev_t handle, thus simplifying the API.
The dev_t handle, if required, can be retrieved via
BPartition::GetVolume() instead.
Simple BPositionIO implementation using the POSIX API on a FD. In effect
similar to BFile, but more easily ported to kernel and boot loader (and
the FD is reusable).
Add GetPathOrName() and PathOrName() methods which try to get some kind
of usable path or at least a file name for the entry. Useful mainly for
debugging and error reporting cases.
When switching AppMetaMimeCreator from BMimeType to Database the
SetIcon[ForType]() calls with a BBitmap* ended up calling the vector
icon version with the icon_size as the data size argument, thus not only
not writing the bitmap icon attributes, but also clobbering the vector
icon attribute.
Adjust Database{Location} to only attempt to create a mimetype when
actually necessary, and fail otherwise if a writable version doesn't yet
exist. Correspondingly, adjust callers such as
DatabaseLocation::DeleteAttribute(). Fixes a problem where a caller asking
to perform a mimeset could fail early due to SetSupportedTypes() attempting
to update the read-only mime database entry supplied by a package, and
consequently most of the mimeset operations would be skipped.
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.
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.
It provides the functionality to copy file system entries (also
recursively). The code originates from the copyattr sources. Some
copyattr specific functionality has been removed and the code has been
adjusted for library use (i.e. no exit()s or fprintf()s). An optional
controller object can be set to customize the behavior.
This resolves all issues the test suite uncovered. It should also deal
with hard links correctly, though that hasn't been tested. Still
unsupported are:
* changes due to mounting/unmounting a volume,
* tracking of symlinks in the path components.
Add inner class BWatchingInterface and method SetWatchingInterface().
This abstracts the calls to watch_node() and stop_watching(), thus
making it possible to use the path monitor in Tracker.
* Pull out base class MimeEntryProcessor out of AppMetaMimeCreator.
* Pull class MimeInfoUpdater out of UpdateMimeInfoThread and derive it
from MimeEntryProcessor.
* MimeInfoUpdater: Instead of BMimeType::GuessMimeType(), use
Database::GuessMimeType() directly.
* Add class DatabaseLocation. It contains a list of the MIME DB
directory paths plus methods to access type files.
* Move all low-level MIME DB access functions from
database_{support,access} to DatabaseLocation. All code that formerly
used those now requires a DatabaseLocation object. In BMimeType and in
the registrar the default object is used, but the low-level classes
can now be reused with different locations.
* Move get_icon_data() from database_access to database_support and
delete the former, which is now empty.
* Together with database_{access,support}.cpp it is built into a static
library.
* Add new interfaces MimeSniffer and Database::NotificationListener for
plugging in registrar specific functionality (the sniffer add-on
support and the notification mechanism).
Each installation location (system, common, common/non-packaged,
~/config, ~/config/non-package) can now have a read-only data/mime_db
directory. ~/config/settings/beos_mime is now named mime_db as well. The
contents of all directories makes up the MIME DB. Entries in more
specific locations shadow entries in more general locations. Only the
directory in ~/config/settings is where the registrar writes changes to.
The new layout allows packages to contribute entries to the MIME DB by
simply providing the respective files in data/mime_db. Consequently the
user settings directory is supposed to contain only the things the user
has actually changed.
Seems to work fine as far as tested. A few issues, though:
* The registrar doesn't monitor the directories yet, so it doesn't
notice entry changes due to package de-/activation.
* ATM it is not possible to remove a MIME type that is not in the user
settings directory, although the FileTypes GUI suggests that it is.
We'd have to work with white-outs, since we cannot remove the files in
the data/mime_db directories. Or, alternatively, the API has to be
extended and the FileTypes GUI adjusted to disable the "Remove" button
in such a case.
An arbitrary number of directories can be added, which the implemented
BEntryList interface presents as a single merged entry list. Three
different merge policies are supported which define how entries that
appear in more than one directory are treated.
* The user of an editor needed knowledge about the editor in order to make
use of it.
* Furthermore, the BPartitionParameterEditor exposed type specific
functionality that it shouldn't know anything about, either.
* We may now define a number of known parameters per editor type; right now
there is only "type" as it's needed by DriveSetup.
* Adapted all disk systems, and DriveSetup to the new API.
* Renamed CreateParamsPanel, and InitializeParamsPanel to *ParametersPanel
in DriveSetup.
* They now share a common base class AbstractParametersPanel.
yet take the AddOnMonitorHandler (and also does not Run() the looper
automatically). Added SetHandler() method which allows to set the handler
afterward. Does not require updates in existing clients.

- File system is now only displayed when the partition actually has a filesystem.
- Now checks if the DiskSystem supports initializing.
- Updated the *ParamsPanels, as well as, the Disk System add-ons to use the new storage api changes (see below).
Storage Kit:
- Simplified the parameters editor system. Now all parameter editor requests go through a single function, GetParameterEditor, and pass a B_PARAMETER_EDITOR_TYPE to request a particular parameter editor.
- Moved DiskDeviceAddOnManager.h to the headers directory, as it is now required by InitParamsPanel.

everything more readible.
* Once I understood better how everthing is supposed
to work, I've fixed some bugs.
* The most important problem was that AddDirectory()
placed the wrong entry (resolved symlinks) into the
entry list it keeps for each directory. This resulted
in the mechanisms not working at all when an add-on
was a symlink.
* There was a hidden TODO, which would mean that moving
an add-on from one watched directory into another,
like from home/config/add-ons/... into common/add-ons/...
would drop the client application (media_server,
input_server, ...) into the debugger.
* The fFormerEntries list did not seem to serve any
purpose. Basically it would not disable add-ons
removed from a watched directory unless it changed
it's name at the same time. I've removed it completely,
since it didn't seem to be an optimization
(entry cache) either.
* Each actual add-on file is now node-monitored for
stat changes. So if you have a link in the add-on
folder, and the linked to add-on changes, it triggers
a reload of the add-on now. This will make it much
more pleasant to develop add-ons and have them affective
immediately.
I tested with a fresh image, but there are no immediate
regressions I am aware of. I could imagine that messing
with certain add-ons can have a bad effect now, like
removing the keyboard input_server add-on may trigger the
keyboard to stop working immediately without an input_server
restart, but Tracker should warn before it happens.

* Removed AutoDeleter class and use the shared one instead.
