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.
* Add hooks HandleSectionStart() and HandleSectionEnd(). They are
invoked to bracket package file section, so the handler can
discriminate which section the attributes belong to.
HandleSectionStart() features a return parameter _handleSection, which
allows to handler to pick which sections it wants to handle.
* "package dump" does now print the section names.
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.
* The version string pattern is now:
<major>[.<minor>[.<micro>]][-<pre>][-<release>]
* Introduce B_HPKG_ATTRIBUTE_ID_PACKAGE_VERSION_PRE_RELEASE package
attribute.
* Add "preRelease" field to BPackageVersionData.
* Add "preRelease" property to BPackageVersion and packagefs's Version.
* Adjust package reader and writer code accordingly.
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)

* actually write the checksum
* compress the repository info archive, too (handle it as separate
section)
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@40426 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* fleshed out RepositoryWriterImpl
* renamed BRepositoryHeader to BRepositoryInfo (in accordance with
BPackageInfo)
* adjusted BRepositoryInfo to be able to parse itself from a
driver_settings file
* added package_repo binary (only 'create' works as of yet)

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
* 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

types and defines of HPKG
* added header, magic and version for haiku repository format
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@40370 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.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@40332 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* added my own copyright to a couple of files that I changed

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
