* PackageFileHeap{Reader,Writer} as well as Package{Reader,Writer} and
their implementation and super classes do now internally use a
BPositionIO instead of a FD to access the package file. This provides
more flexibility needed for features to come.
* BPackageReader has already grown a new Init() version with a
BPositionIO* parameter.
* This will be used to implement compressed http streams
* Remove the custom BDataOutput class, and use BDataIO instead, for
easier integration with existing code.
* Introduce new package attribute B_HPKG_ATTRIBUTE_ID_PACKAGE (valid
only in a repository file) to group the attributes belonging to a
package.
* BRepositoryContentHandler:
- No longer derive from BPackageContentHandler.
- Add hooks HandlePackage() and HandlePackageDone() that bracket the
attributes for a package. This is more explicit and robust than
handlers having to guess when one package ended and the next began.
* BRepositoryCache: Make use of BPackageInfoContentHandler. No need to
duplicate the code for reading a package info from package info
attributes.
* For all identifiers: Rename global settings file to global writable
file. We want to use the respective attribute also for other writable
files, not only settings files.
* User settings file/global writable file info/attribute: Add
isDirectory property/child attribute. This allows declaring global/
user settings directories associated with the package.
... <package/hpkg/PackageAttributes.h>, which also defines other
properties (name and type) for each attribute. It does so via a macro
that the caller can define to generate whatever code is desired.
Global and user settings files can be declared. For global ones an
update policy can be specified. If not specified, the settings file is
not included in the package, but created by the program (or user) later.
If an update type is specified, it defines what to do with the settings
file when updating the package to a newer version.
User settings files are never included in the package; they are always
created by the program or the user. If the package contains a template/
default settings file, it can be declared, but for informative purposes
only.
* Add minor_version to hpkg_header and hpkg_repo_header and make
heap_compression uint16.
* If the minor version of a package/repository file is greater than the
current one unknown attributes are ignored without error. This allows
introducing new harmless attributes without making the resulting files
unreadable for older package kit versions.
* Add flags parameter to Init() of BPackageReader and friends.
* Introduce flag B_HPKG_READER_DONT_PRINT_VERSION_MISMATCH_MESSAGE and
don't print a version mismatch error when given.
* package extract/list: Use the new flag.
* 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.
It is no longer public (or even private) API. BPackageDataReaderFactory
returns a BAbstractBufferedDataReader instead. The advantage is that
the latter doesn't have hpkg format specific dependencies.
It doesn't do much in terms of buffering, but defines an interface
buffered readers can implement, namely the additional
ReadDataToOutput() which currently BPackageDataReader specifies.
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.
* Use enums/constants/functions instead of preprocessor macros.
* Missing include in PackageInfoAttributeValue.h.
* PackageReaderImpl::Init(): Check version before header size and
return B_MISMATCHED_VALUES instead of B_BAD_DATA, if the version
doesn't match. This allows callers to determine the condition and
try a reader for a different version. A more flexible interface for
that case would be nice, but since we want to support the old package
version only temporarily, the current solution should be good enough.
* ... to avoid confusion with the preRelease property. It's also called
"revision" in the HaikuPorts recipes.
* Update libsolv package. Was necessary due to the BPackageVersion
change, but also includes a few more changes.
* Move StandardErrorOutput to libpackage and into proper namespace to
avoid "package_repo" having to reuse the "package" source file.
* package_repo: Fix incorrect includes of "package.h".
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)

* compress the repository info archive, too (handle it as separate
section)
