Besides that this is a nicer interface, it allows us to get a the HPKG
header as a side effect of initializing the reader, thus preventing
seeking backward in the file. This makes "package recompress - <file>"
work.
* 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.
The attribute is intended for simplifying package building. The
package's install path will be used for the package's .self package
symlink, allowing installation to a temporary directory when building
the package.
Add flags parameter to BPackageWriter::Init() (and the private
implementation classes) to indicate that an existing package file shall
be updated instead of created. Currently that always happens in-place.
When compression doesn't save space, using it nonetheless results in a
file that the reader complains about. So we fall back to writing an
uncompressed package attributes section in such a case.
The same still needs to be done for the TOC section.
If a FD is specified, instead of using the file with the given the FD is
used. Allows for adding entries without first copying them into the
directory structure.
handling:
* package attributes are now compatible with the low level attribute
handling of other HPKG attributes (such that 'package dump' now shows
package attributes, too)
* dropped type names from hpkg format, the attributes were identified
by IDs already and this simplifies the code considerably. Type names
are now handled in BLowLevelPackageHandler only.
* instead of rolling their own mechanism, high-level package attributes
handling is now implemented via a corresonding set of
AttributeHandler-subclasses
* adjusted package writer to only write package attributes that are
needed (empty ones are left out)

* typedef base classes as 'inherited' and use that instead of the
explicit base class name
* remove superfluous scopes in case blocks
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@40420 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
to create a package that refers to a license that is not a system
license or contained in the package
* added package-info flags (currently only approve_license and
system_package)
* adjusted package-reader/writer and pkgman accordingly
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@40393 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* PackageWriterImpl no longer accesses members of WriterImplBase
directly, but uses getters/setters instead
* package attribute registration has been moved from PackageWriterImpl
to WriterImplBase, as it will be used in the same manner by the
RepositoryWriter
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@40388 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* pulled commonly useful parts out of PackageWriterImpl into
WriterImplBase
* moved CachedStringTable and related methods into a separate class,
StringCache, in order to support having more than one string cache
per package file
* made package attribute section use a string cache, too, as that's
going to be very useful for repositories
* instead of writing package attributes directly, we now collect
corresponding PackageAttributes and write those later
* adjusted package reader accordingly
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@40376 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* added kernel-compatible datatypes for reading package info attribute
values (PackageInfoAttributeValue.h) - these will be used at a later
stage by the package-fs to transport those attributes to userland
when asked to do so (by ioctl)
* implemented parsing of package info attributes in PackageReaderImpl
* added support for compressed package attribute section to
PackageReaderImpl
* completed the writing of package info attributes in PackageWriterImpl
and fixed a couple of bugs exposed by parsing
* adjusted 'package list' to show the package info attributes as they
are found
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@40354 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
but publish that info through a BPackageWriterListener
* adjusted 'package create' to print a package summary by default and
more verbose info upon request.

public and private API (still far from ideal, but a start):
* moved several HPKG-classes into the public namespace BPackageKit::HPKG
* added fImpl-wrappers around PackageReader and PackageWriter to hide
most of the gory details
* adjusted 'package'-binary and packagefs accordingly
