Ignore unknown fields (also called attributes) which are from a package file with a different minor version number. Previously it would halt with an error when encountering such a field, even though it can safely be skipped over (if it was unsafe, we would have incremented the major version number). The use case is a future package attribute for pre-uninstall scripts. If they're not run, that just leaves some debris after uninstalling (like symbolic link desktop icons). * Use the B_NOT_SUPPORTED error code when reading unknown package attributes. Don't treat it as an error if the package is a different minor version, just skip it. * Print unknown package attribute index numbers rather than stopping, since they may be from future package file formats and can be safely skipped otherwise. Mention the relevant enum so you can find it in the source code. It's a pity that the previous abstraction layer isn't present, since it tells us what data type the attribute is (string, number, etc), so we could have printed its value too. First step of two for enhancement #13427 See https://review.haiku-os.org/c/haiku/+/1504 to generate packages with a different minor version number (second step of the enhancement).

Haiku
Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
Compiling Haiku
See ReadMe.Compiling.
Contributing
Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
